People That Are Not Good At Being Single

The pain of it.

People That Are Not Good At Being Single
Madison Breslin

Is it freedom? Or a total depression?

To some people being single is the best thing in the world. Freedom to be who you are. That is a wonderful feeling. To others who are not good at it, I promise the pain will end.

It goes so much deeper than the term, “Single.

This is how deep it goes in your frantic mind:

Picture this. You just graduated college, on your way to the real world. Okay, check you are independently on your own and life is good, until you feel that you are missing something in your life. Your mom keeps asking you when you are going to get married or if you met someone. Next thing you know you are at your best friends wedding, and things seem to get real weird. You used to do shots with these people and talk for hours till four in the morning, in college. Weddings suck for single people because it makes them question, “What am I doing, am I unlovable?

Okay first of all, never ask that question, and second of all, your time will come. I do not care what anyone says, everybody wants somebody to care for and love. Love is part of the human experience. It is part of being human, Happiness is only true, if it is shared.

Some people are "Ted Mosbys", and some are "Barney Stinsons," but even Barney fell in love.

Just some wise words for anybody that is going through a hard time with a breakup, or whatever you got going on. Always a pleasure Darlings. Remember time is key, and do not get boggled down in wondering when it will come.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
