Why Hardworking & Independent People Are The Best Yet Hardest To Date

First off, let's start with why we're difficult to date.. It takes A LOT for us to leave the house outside of work. Yes, we know it sounds crazy, but we love our job and we're compassionate about our work. However, sometimes we forget that we're supposed to have a life outside of work. That's what seems impossible for us.. We work a lot because we're single and it keeps us busy, so the minute someone walks into our life we have a hard time trying to adjust to that routine. It sounds so simple and small, but it's difficult for us to do. We literally have been single for so long that we become over the top independent. It's tough for us to rely on someone when we've been alone and living our own successful life. Don't let our tough ways fool you, we do want to love someone, care for someone, spend time with someone and build something! If you want to know a plus about us; it would be we're STABLE, we can make SACRIFICES and we put our EVERYTHING into things that mean the most to us. I understand we come with many layers like an onion, but once you peel this caliber of a person- you're the luckiest person on Earth.. Believe it or not.

Now, I'm going to get personal here about the work aspect of this. I personally wake up at 5:30-6:00 every day. I show up to work no later than 7 and work till 8-8:30 at night. Please look at the hours I spend at work and away from home or if I had someone in my life- look how much time I'm away from building with them. Majority of my friends that are married work 8-4. They get 4-5 more hours to spend time with their loved ones. Here's where I prove how we can sacrifice. We would gladly cut our hours back a wee-bit to be with you. Believe me, we come with many gears and we can go into tunnel vision to complete our tasks in time. 

We get it that we're difficult to date, hard to understand or live BORING compared to most. We love deeply, work hard every day to be the best we can be and try to be successful so that one day we don't ever have to worry if we're enough or can support a couple more mouths.

Sincerely,

The girl that's known for working too much.

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.
