How It Feels To Be The Girl Who's Never Been In A Relationship

It's okay to have never been in a relationship before.

How It Feels To Be The Girl Who's Never Been In A Relationship

Last week, a friend and I were talking about how we have never had boyfriends before, and it seems like the world just hates us. It’s fall again, and it seems like everyone is in a relationship at this time of the year (I don’t know why). When you aren't in a relationship, and everyone around you seems to be in one, it can be depressing.

But then you start to re-evaluate your life. When you haven’t even been on a date with a guy, and you’re 18-years-old (like me), it's something that can be hard to talk about with someone else. Also, when it seems like guys never notice you, it can be hard to talk about to your friends. But, honestly who cares? Who cares that I have never been in a relationship before? No, it’s not because I am awkward and I am scared to talk to guys. Trust me, I have talked to guys before but they do not want me to be a part of my life for the right reasons. I just haven’t found the right one yet. It’s been really hard to come to that realization — because I have started to ask myself: Is it because of the way I look or dress? Am I just a terrible person? Does the world just hate me?

No, the world doesn’t hate me, you, or anyone else. The time just isn’t here yet. The time will come, you just have to be patient. I know that waiting sucks, but when the time does come, you will be happy that you waited for someone. Don’t settle. Find someone who is perfect to you, and likes you for who you are.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
