An Open Letter To The Girl Who Has Never Had A Boyfriend

To the girls who have never had a boyfriend, whose longest relationship was a whopping two months, or whose only boyfriend was that boy in the fifth grade and you guys hugged between classes and went on group dates to the movies…

Ladies, this letter is for you.

So you have pretty much been single forever and there will probably be times that you doubt your worth. You might think you aren’t pretty enough, funny enough, or popular enough. Or maybe you find yourself comparing yourself to other girls, the ones with boyfriends. Maybe you are wondering what you are doing wrong, and why you can’t find a guy.

Well I’m here to tell you to stop. Seriously. Stop comparing and stop trying to determine what is wrong with you. Because you are enough. You. Are. Enough. Your worth is not determined by your relationship status.

Being single is okay. Actually, it's more than okay. It’s awesome. Being single gives you independence; it gives you time to find yourself--to count on yourself and to love yourself as well.

You can’t get caught up on being single. Because if you were meant to be with someone, you would be with them right now.

The guy that stopped talking to you for no good reason? Good riddance.

The guy who didn’t want anything with you, but pursued something with someone else? Pick your head up, because you weren’t right for each other.

The boy that was basically in love with you, but you just didn’t feel the same? Good for you for knowing what you want and not leading him on.

Just because someone shows interest, doesn’t mean it’s right.

Always know the difference between the idea of someone and the actual person.

The right guy that you are waiting for? He will come.

But stop waiting, and start living.

In the middle of you living your life, he’ll find himself into it.

Maybe he’ll come tomorrow, maybe it’ll be in a few months or maybe it won’t be until many years down the road.

But it will happen when it’s right, trust me on that.

You are a young, beautiful single girl who is having the time of her life and can’t be stopped by anyone or anything. You are full of ambition, life and so much freaking love. You are doing your thing, you are making some mistakes, and you are having a lot of fun.

You are wild, you are carefree, and you are your own kind of perfect.

Remember that.

Love,

A fellow (happy) single gal.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
