Reasons I Am Single

and I've never been happier

Reasons I Am Single
Jonteal Hasty

I'm just going to blatantly lay it out. Let you all know that I go through the struggle every day and there are simple reasons of why I will forever be single.

It has nothing to do with my looks because I know that I am a beautiful young woman. Men or should I say boys are intimidated by how beautiful a person like me actually is. I don't have to wear makeup, and I don't have to comb my hair and I don't have to dress up. You can see who I truly am at any point of the year. Yet boys usually choose the girl that hides behind her cover up because it is easier to accept the fake version of someone. It's hard to choose a girl like me who doesn't cover up. I highlight my flaws and make them a part of me.

Another reason is because of my personality. I'm not a "normal" girl. I don't do what other girls do or say what other girls say. I tell it how it is and no I will never hide who I truly am. You never know what you're going to get with me. One day I can be this calm and nice person and the next i'm bouncing off the walls and as blunt as ever. It's okay dudes, you will never be able to handle someone like me.

Lastly, my focus. It's real easy to let somebody step in front of your path and fog your future. You'll fall in awe over this person that says all the cute things you need to hear. Well, I won't. My eye is on the prize and nothing will stand in my way. So maybe I play a couple games with boys to entertain myself, but when the fun is over, it's always best to return to my work. A boy won't get me to my goals, only I will.

So maybe the biggest reason I am forever single is because of me. Maybe I'd rather wait for that one person to accept all my flaws, to appreciate all the beautiful I am, and not only fog my future, but be apart of my future.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
