From The Girl Who Can't Imagine Being In A Serious Relationship

I don't dream about the man I want, I dream about the puppies I need.

Maddison Boys

I am not your average girl. I don’t stay up at night dreaming about the cute boy I will marry or about finding a guy that I could settle down with. Instead, I dream about the puppy I want to get, the trips I want to go on, and all the other things I’d love to explore in my life.

I can’t imagine being in a serious relationship because there is still so much I don’t know about myself.

I’m still finding out who I am, who I want to be and what all of that means. My question to myself is always “how can I be with someone else when I don’t know who I am?”

Some may look at me and think that I’m lonely, but I’m quite the opposite! I am free to do whatever it is that I want at any moment. I can go ship off to Paris for a week if I feel like it, or travel to anywhere in the world if I desired (or had the funds to do so) I don’t need to tell anyone where I’m going, what I’m doing etc.

I can’t imagine what life is like for those girls who don’t go out without their SO or spend every waking moment with their significant others. I mean, I love my friends and I spend most of my time with them, but I also spend a lot of time alone reflecting on my life, and who I am. I’m able to see who I truly want to be without having anyone else’s life involved. I can truly find myself without having to make sure that my SO has the same life plans as mine.

Instead I know that wherever my life takes me, I’ll someday find what most people do, but for now, I can’t imagine being in a serious relationship and neither can some of these single girls who could careless about it.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
