College is a time for plenty of self-reflection and hard work, but the bar can be set even higher with a slight adjustment. Yes, aiming for that degree is a great goal, but success comes in many forms. Don’t just come to college for traditional success, nay, go higher. Obtain such a level of success that your being goes farther than the normal standards for success society has built. I aspire to convince you all that everyone’s true goal in college should be to become their own sugar daddy.

For those confused, sugar daddies are older gentlemen who seek the companionship of younger women but are willing to pay. Let me reference one of the greatest sources of time to clarify: Urban Dictionary. “Like a genie - he may be a little old, but if a girl rubs his lamp, he'll grant her wishes”, basically a quid pro quo relationship involving money and something else. What that something else is, is up to the parties involved, but usually is defined as a sexual favor. This may be the point when many are confused by what any of this has to do with college goals, but don’t misunderstand. Even though thousands of young college students are seeking sugar daddies to pay off college loans, I say go a step further and be your own sugar daddy.

The core of being a sugar daddy stems from financial stability, which is the aim for many college students, however, it doesn’t end there. A true sugar daddy in some regard must be financially, emotionally, and mentally stable. Now many may disagree with the last two fields and state that men willing to pay for companionship are the epitome of unstable emotional and mental health, but no. To be able to accept the human need for a partner, to accept the immense loneliness and desperation to bring someone to that level requires a high amount of emotional understanding. To completely disregard society’s constant lecture about how one must be embarrassed over such a degrading act, that person needs to really know himself or herself and accept that. What person wouldn’t want to obtain this higher level of self-acceptance and love? But imagine combining that with such a financial stability that there isn’t any need to think twice about pampering yourself.

The most important quality to be a sugar daddy is financial stability, now a college degree may provide the certification to begin the process of that, but a sugar daddy is beyond standard security. To be able to pamper others with dinners, gifts, and a monthly allowance a daddy must have a high amount of disposable income. The standard sugar daddy makes over $100,000, others make figures in the millions. Now apply those goals to yourself, and the success you see is well beyond the motivation from the standard college degree. The determination that can come from accepting the true goal of becoming your own sugar daddy leads to greater feats than the mere human mind can imagine. A step beyond that would be to also be your own sugar baby, this is the endearing term given to the younger women that form contractual relationships with sugar daddies. These women are at their physical peak in order to attract the older gentleman, with this added determination you’ll be on the path to fulfilling the holy trifecta: Physical, Financial, and Emotional stability. While reading this it is easy to see the gender barriers and normality that has been established in the “sugar community”, but with the secure mindset you have achieved at this point it is easy to be the trendsetter. Break those barriers, female daddies and male babies can be the future, what do a few labels have anything to do with your mental attitude. Don’t let your hard work in college fall short of what it can be; the potential within us all is far greater than that.

Join the elite in the hopes to reach the Elysian Fields by accepting the true goal: becoming your own sugar daddy.
