A Single Girl's Thoughts During "90 Day Fiance" On TLC

My quest for love is an adventure, but that means nothing when 90 Day Finace comes on.

A Single Girl's Thoughts During "90 Day Fiance" On TLC
TLC

The season four premiere of 90 Day Fiance on TLC just began, and it looks like it's going to be a saucy season.

If you're not familiar with the show, let me get you up to speed: There are Americans who find love overseas on vacation, through friends, through their universities, online, etc. These people get engaged to their foreign lover (usually very quickly) and begin the K-1 Visa process. This means the couple has 90 days to get married once the partner from overseas gets to the U.S., or else they must go back to their home country.

I was sucked in to this show during a marathon leading up to the new season. By sucked in, I mean my dog and I were laying on the couch eating popcorn, Pringles, and Nutella like Lady and the Tramp for eight hours, and I was tempted to call in sick to work.

Exhibit A:

It's crystal clear I'm single, and here are the thoughts running through my head every time I watch or think about 90 Day Fiance:

1. I am too American for a foreign guy.

I love fried chicken, Fourth of July, Starbucks, ranch dressing, line dances, and my mama so much. A foreign fiance would not be able to handle all of this.

2. But the thought of letting loose, being spontaneous, and snagging a Swahili sweetie is tempting.

Life is too short to not be spontaneous, right?

3. How did some of these people on the show attract total babes?!

Oh wait...9.9 times out of 10, there is a 40 year age difference or something super sketchy happening in these cases. (And by sketchy cases, I'm looking at you Danielle and Mohamed. Fun fact for my Buckeye crowd: Danielle is from Sandusky, OH.)

4. *It* always hits the fan with these couples after the first few days of living with each other! Good thing I live with me, myself and I.

Seriously, the honeymoon phase ends for everyone, and it's not pretty. If a man--Team USA or nah--thinks your post-Taco Bell fart sesh or Wine Wednesday is wrong, he isn't right for you, girl.

5. The men these women find could be strippers at MY bachelorette party by all means.

No explanation needed. The pictures above say it all. (Looking at you Alexei from Season 3, Azan from Season 4, and Pedro from Season 4. Pour some sugar on me. Just kidding! You're married or engaged. Do not pour anything on me.)

My closing, and not-so-mean thoughts:

Love is love. The only people who know whether or not a relationship will work are the people in it. This goes for anyone. Don't be starstruck by someone just because they are good looking or have a lot of money. It's okay to be skeptical. Someone who loves you should just say "challenge accepted" to your skepticism. Let your family and friends cut to the chase and meet the hottie who gets the opportunity to date you. Listen to them. They love you enough to call the crap, and most of the time, unfortunately, they are right.

Best of luck, love birds. Now excuse me while I continue to Lady and the Tramp snacks with my dog during 90 Day Fiance.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

There have been many lessons learned.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
