To The Girl Who Hasn't Been In Love Yet

To The Girl Who Hasn't Been In Love Yet
Taylor Anne Pace

This letter is written to all the girls/women in the world that have not fallen in love yet in this particular point in time of their life.

I'm just going to start off by saying it's okay. That's right, it is okay. It is okay that you haven't fallen in love before. It is okay that you haven't found the "right person". You still have time.

Most people are nervous that if they haven't found their soul mate yet then they are going to be alone forever and that is obviously not true. You will find your one true love some time. You might meet him in your 20's or 30's. Or you might meet him after you divorced the guy that didn't respect you. You have no idea when you will meet him and that is okay. God is molding the man or woman; your significant other; just for you. He knows who to put you with. He knows who will appreciate you, who will love you like no other person has in the world. He molds the person who will be there for you when you are down, and to bring you up to the highest of highs when you need it. Have faith. Believe that He has a plan for you.

While you're waiting for God to throw that person at you head first, think of this time as a retreat. Sort of like a time to reflect. When you're single you are the most independent. Yes, you are still independent when you date, get engaged and marry someone, but when you are single you find your true self. You discover who you truly are.

You get to go out and go wherever you want to go. If your girlfriends want to go on a spontaneous trip to Michigan for the weekend, you're all for it.

You can travel. You can go do a back packing trip through Europe. Explore! Adventure! Experience everything that the world has to offer. Who knows maybe you can tell some of your stories of your travels on a first date.

You can watch couples. See what their struggles are, examine what it really looks like to be in a committed relationship. You will be shown that a relationship isn't a big fairy tale. You will struggle and fight, but the point is that you and your partner will get through those struggles and how you both come out of those situations will strengthen the love you have.

You can be picky. Learn this word: No. It is a very important word and you will need it in tricky situations or just any situations. Don't settle. Take time. Take time to find someone that treats you with respect. Find the person that loves you for who you truly are, no matter what.

Experience life. Take that trip. Realize that you don't need a man. Buy that house. Buy that dog. Just live.

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.
