I used to think that being single was the worst thing possible. That all of my friends in relationships were so happy and always had someone to talk too. Everything about having a boyfriend seemed wonderful, so blissful and simple. I could not be more wrong. Yes- maybe it’s blissful at times. However, it is most definitely not a walk in the park and a very hard thing to juggle while doing a million other things.

I find it hard to manage being a full-time student, studying for my LSAT, being an EIC, and still trying to have somewhat of a social life. Imagine if I had a boyfriend? I can’t. There is so much going on in my life at the moment that all it would be is another distraction that I simply cannot afford to have.

There is so much riding on me right now that, having one more person to count on me to be there for is just simply not possible at the moment. This year is my crunch time, my break it or make it year. If I don’t remain completely and hundred percent focused I could risk losing everything I’ve worked extremely hard for.

I have come to terms with being single at the moment… And quite frankly the more I talk with friends the more I realize that I can wait to be in a relationship. They are so complicated and take a lot of work in order to be a healthy and stable one. I am not rushing into anything, anytime soon, and I am completely okay with that.

So if you find yourself not having the time to be in a relationship, it’s completely okay and normal. In fact there are a lot of us out there who don’t.
