I’m Single And Mingling And Making No Apologies For It

Who are you to judge people who choose to casual date.

People give casual talking and/or dating a bad name but that’s exactly what I’m doing and I make no apologies for it. I’m living as I call it my “hottest life” and enjoying it to the fullest.

Now right away people will start slut shaming because I’m not just single and I’m not taken either so the assumption is I’m sleeping around and trying to make myself sound better. And to be clear that is absolutely NOT the case. Just because I’m a girl whose casual dating doesn’t mean I’m a slut sleeping around. That’s not me at all. I have a firm belief sex is only meant for someone you’re in love with but that’s not the assumption people make about girls who casually date. Automatically we are slut shammed with no questions asked.

I’m a 20-year-old college student trying to balance college course, work, friends and family and more so someone is going to have to be damn sure amazing to make me want commitment right now. It’s just not something I feel the need for right now. I’ve been in love before and although it’s the most amazing feeling in the world when it ends it crushes you and I’m at a point in life right now where love is not worth the risk. But this doesn’t mean I hate love or people in relationships or am shunning them forever. It just means at the stage I’m in my life right now I’m not looking for something serious. I’d rather focus on everything else I have going on in life and if the opportunity arises to go on some dates with someone or casually talk. But I should not have to apologize for living my life the way I am. And I sure as hell am not going to.

I’ve become a strong independent woman who just wants to live life to the fullest. So leave your judgment to yourself because I’m doing me and loving every second of it.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
