Why I Am Okay With Being Single For Right Now

"Being Single Is Only Sad If You Have A Problem With Your Own Company. I'm Content With Mine." Olga Kurylenko

I have been single for most of my life. I only dated one guy in my whole life. He was an amazing guy who I never talk to anymore. It just did not work out, he was going back to Hawaii and I was going to be in Ohio. He taught me so much about myself, and what it should be like when guys like you.

I am not saying that I have not been on dates with other guys; however, I have not found the person I want to end up with. I might've of already have, but I don't know. Love takes time. I am not scared to be in a relationship; however, I am content with being by myself until it finds me.

People might think I am crazy for saying all of this because they probably want a boyfriend or a love life. Don't get me wrong, I like some guys right now, but it does not mean I want to date right now. A lot has happen to me last three years that I am not ready to date.

It taken me almost four years to be in love with my life, and myself. I am sorry to say it will have to take a really good guy who has to be patience, sweet, funny, and understanding that I am not going to date around. I am looking for that one person.

I don't believe in dating just to date. I am actually one of those girls who wants to the date the "one". I am not saying that I am not going to go on dates with others. But, I am scared of what could happen.

I am one of those girls who seem so confident, who knows what they want, and has it all put together; however, that is not the case with me.

I am one of the most sensitive person when it comes to guy. I care way too much what a guy I like thinks of me. It hurts when I cannot figure out why they do not like me.

So in this time right now, I am trying not to be that way. I am trying to figure out for myself what I want in life, in love, and in general. I am not scared not to date right now.

I keep thinking how I have three and half years of schooling left to go, well more exact, five and half years because of getting my masters. Maybe I will be one of those people who gets settle in their career and find love after I get my career all worked out?

However, that is okay. In a weird way, I am not ready to settle down in my early 20s. I am not saying it is a bad thing to find your love of life right now. Some of my good friends are married or even have children with their love of their lives. I could not be happier for them.

One day, I want to have that with my love of my life, but for right now, I am okay with being single. To be quite honest, it is gonna take a great guy to date me. Who knows it could happen this year, five years from now, or even, in my thirties. But for right now, I am happy being single. But for now, I have an amazing family and a great friend group to get me through.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
