To the girl who has never had a boyfriend on Valentine’s Day:

Every year as Valentine’s Day approaches, you watch as pink and red hearts go up in the stores and chocolates and teddy bears appear on the shelves. You hope that maybe, this year, you will have a boyfriend to buy you a box of chocolates or a bouquet of roses.

Every year you tell yourself, “Maybe next year.” But next year comes around and there is still no special guy in your life. Other girls have boyfriends to celebrate the special day with, but all you have is a string of crushes that you doubt have any interest in you. On Valentine’s Day your friends’ Instagrams are full of adorable dates, engagements and mushy Valentines posts, but yours is silent because you haven’t done anything special worth posting about.

Instead of eating at a fancy restaurant with your boyfriend you sit in your room eating popcorn and chocolate you bought yourself, watching The Office and wondering if your Pam will ever meet her Jim.

Is there something wrong with me? Why has no one I liked ever liked me back? You wonder. You wonder what it feels like to be in love, to love someone and know that that feeling is reciprocated. You begin to worry that maybe you’ll never know what that feels like.

“Be patient,” everyone tells you. “One day your prince will come.”

You hear that from everyone – friends, cousins, parents, and mentors. Sometimes it can be frustrating because while you know that’s true, you don’t want to wait. You want a boy now, this year, not five years in the future.

As clichéd as this may sound, God has the perfect person in mind for you. God knows your loneliness as you see your best friends post pictures with their boyfriends and wonder when your turn will come. He knows how you feel when you’re eating with two friends with significant others talking about their plans for Valentine’s Day.

Mr. Right will come at the right time and will step into your life not a minute before or after he’s supposed to. He’ll be the guy who you chase after God with, the guy you journey through life with, the guy who matches everything on your list, and the guy who loves you as much as you love him.

This year might not be the year, but one year you will celebrate Valentine’s Day with a special guy who makes all of the years of singleness worth the wait. You will finally know what it is like to be in love and to like a guy who likes you back.

Until then, pray for your future husband, eat all the chocolate you want, watch all the sappy movies you want, and don’t let another year of singleness on Valentine’s Day cause you to give up hope for your future.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
