I'm Only 19 But I'm Totally Fine With Being Single For The Rest Of My Life

For some people they can't stand being single for more than a week, but for me, I'm okay with being single for life.

When it comes to being single, people have two ways of dealing with it; method one is to find another person to date ASAP so they are not lonely and then there is method two, which is accepting that you are single because of x reasons (school, career, want to take a "heartbreak," etc..).

For many people like me, it's not easy getting a "soulmate" because we either have too many high standards that don't fit in with the mainstream dating or that we are unapproachable because of looks, personality, and not following society's rules. Which is fine because it is their loss, people who don't follow the norm are the most exciting, energetic and nicest people to walk along this earth compared to the ones that do follow society's norms.

Most people are choosing to be single because they want to focus on school, careers, goals, friends, or don't like how the dating game is working nowadays. Some of the people that are choosing to be single that I know are some of the gorgeous people ever with the kindest hearts but want to get where they want to be before settling down.

I've never had a serious relationship, I've been in two, and the longest was two weeks. Even with being away from my hometown dating is still hard. Since I've been at college, I haven't met anyone, and it's fine because let's be honest my life is the biggest mess right now and I need to get it together before going into another relationship. Plus my classes are important, and so is my future, I want to be able to support myself before I commit to a serious relationship.

I've seen my friends getting into relationships, and I'm happy for them because if they're happy, I'm happy. I rather see all my friends get their perfect beginnings, then myself because they are better people and have been through so much.

If I ever get into another relationship, I pray for the man because I am stubborn, and I'm not normal. So I wish him luck,

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
