I see so many talented, beautiful, single girls who constantly feel the need to find validation in their relationship status. And I completely understand why. Whether it be from the pressure of your family and friends, or maybe the mental clock ticking in your head, I'm here to reassure you that you are doing just fine.

To the girl who's still single and can't figure out why.

Let me ask you a few questions.

Are you in that weird stage in your life where half of your friends are getting engaged and the other half spend more time at the bar than hitting the books? Because if so, you must be a single girl in college and let me tell you, sis, this is one of the best times to be single. Don't question it, embrace it.

Are you killing it at school, kicking it with your girls, and completely convinced yourself boys don't date you because you're intimidatingly gorgeous? Because let's be real, that is the only plausible solution right? Well, you're not far off. Sometimes having it all can scare off boys. Let me break it down. Being a great girl leads to being a great girlfriend, which leads to being a great wife, which leads to a great deal of commitment, which leads to boys leaving before you can even say the word... great. It's basic science.

And don't we all know a girl who is fabulously put together at all times, has a bomb personality, and is thriving away in her career but still shows up solo to the party? Do you think she's wondering why shes still single? No. There is no void to fill in her life because its full of life already!

You could look perfect on paper, you could look perfect in person, but if it's not your time to find somebody, somebody you deserve, then you should just keep doing you girl.

But hey, I still understand why we question ourselves from time to time. It's the triggering questions like "what's a girl like you doing being single?" which is also translated into a girl's heads as, "what is wrong with you that makes boys not want to date you?" I know some may think its a compliment to ask a girl why she is single, but I don't think they understand that question can make her question a heck of a lot more.

The pressure from those around you shouldn't make you doubt the amazing things you have achieved while flying solo.

By now you should know the answer to your question. Nothing is wrong with you. Regardless of what situation you are in, being single can be so rewarding if you do it right, so don't question what your love life looks like just because it's different than what you might have expected.

So, to the girl who is still single and can't figure out why, you're doing just fine.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
