I'm Not Girlfriend Material

...And I probably never will be.

Recently, I was chatting with one of my friends about a couple of guys who are probably (definitely) interested in me. She asked me to tell her about them and I began to describe the. When she asked if I was interested in any of them, I said no, receiving a sad-faced emoji as a response. I jokingly sent her a text telling her that it was okay, I'mnotgirlfriend material.

And, if I'm being serious, I'm not.

I'm not the girl who likes to spend all day texting back and forth. Sure, I like to message occasionally, but I would much rather see you face-to-face. I don't want to sit all day waiting by a phone and I don't think you should either.

I'm not the girl who wants every moment of your entire day. I want to be involved in a variety of activities. I want to devote time every day to bettering myself and trying new things. And, I want you to take opportunities too.

I'm not the girl who cares about your looks or what you wear. I care about your mind and your soul. I want you to stand up for what's right. I want you to respect other people. I want you to respect me. I want to have conversations about religion, social justice issues, and every other big topic that we can think.

I'm not chasing a title. I'm looking for a partner.

I need reliability and I deserve it. I want someone who is trustworthy, hard-working, and devoted. I'm worth honesty, and so is my partner. I have goals that I want to achieve.

Now, having these requirements does not belittle the importance of having feelings. If anything, having someone who can meet these expectations should make your heart beat even faster. Not only do you enjoy spending your time with them, but they're here for the long haul.You shouldn't settle for someone who doesn't meet your needs. It's okay to be picky. You are worth finding the person who meets all of your needs.

I want someone who cares about me as much when I'm in yoga pants as when I'm dressed up. I want someone who knows how to work together. I need someone who can communicate their feelings instead of playing games. I want someone to build and share an empire with. I want someone to see the world with. I want to find the right person to share my life with.

I'm not looking for a short-term muse. I'm not looking for someone to be a profile picture and a placeholder. I'm looking for the person who's best for me. I want to become a better version of myself because of this person's presence. I want to help them to grow into the best version that they can be. I want to work together. I want to find my best friend in life.

I know what I want and I'm not afraid to wait for it.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
