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.

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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
