Look Forward to Finding That Special One

I've always been the single friend who always had relationship advice to give. Even when my services weren't needed, I enjoyed being able to offer healthy relationship tips. Over time I realized that there was nothing wrong with being single. I had to learn how to enjoy being alone first. I suggest investing into your own "me" time, so you can genuinely get to know more about yourself. It's important to learn to love yourself first before you can yearn for someone else to.

I didn't have much luck with getting a boyfriend during high school, so I just knew God would send me my husband while I was at Tuskegee. It had to be destined. I felt like I was too great of a catch to be single throughout my college years too.

Being in a relationship in college sounds like the ideal goal for every female that I have discussed this subject with. We expect to find that special person either during our sophomore or junior year. I feel like those are the two prime years to become serious with someone. While others may enjoy having that special someone there for them, they may also have a couple of admirers on the side. We all have had rosters at some point in time. We have had options to choose from, and sometimes it can be hard to drop the entire dream team for one person. It is possible though, and it can be done if you choose to take any relationship you're in seriously.

The player life has to get overrated, and playing games has to get old. You can't want that forever. Just like there is nothing wrong with being single, there is nothing wrong with wanting to be with someone. I don't recommend relationships for anyone who just wants to pass the time. If you choose to get into a relationship, you should intend to build something worth lasting. There is someone for everyone, so don't give up on your quest for companionship. I didn't.

"For those who have given up on love, I say trust life a little bit." -Maya Angelou

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
