What It’s Like To Know You’re Not The Only Girl In His Life

You’ve known but never wanted to believe it.

What It’s Like To Know You’re Not The Only Girl In His Life

One of the most difficult things about being a girl is not knowing who to trust or when to start trusting them. You do everything in your power to see the good in them and believe they’re the best thing for you, but are they?

In this generation, guys will tell you everything and anything you want to hear. That doesn’t necessarily mean they are lying to you, but they’re definitely bending the truth in order to keep you somewhat happy without causing problems. In college relationships, one of the biggest concerns is whether or not your current hook up or significant other is being loyal. As college girls, we don’t mind the idea of having a steady hook up. However, that does not mean that we encourage our hook up, even if it is “nothing serious”, to hook up with other people. We do not like sharing, and this definitely applies if the relationship is something serious.

You have your nights when you’re with your girls and your man is with the guys, but we can’t help but wonder what they’re doing. Usually, your first thought is that they must be with another girl, but we continue to convince ourselves otherwise. We do this not only to keep our sanity, but again because we like to see the good in them and we look for every reason to believe that we can trust them. When we finally decide to give in and text them that cute little “I’m thinking about you” text, we get nervous, hide our phones and just hope for a response later on...but never get one.

Being ignored is definitely a huge issue in relationships today. Not only is ignoring someone just straight up rude, it is the worst feeling ever on the *non* receiving end. If a guy ignores you, he doesn’t really care. If he makes excuses, he doesn’t really care. If you’re repeating yourself and having the same arguments and conversations over and over, he doesn’t really care.

The way to tell if you’re the only girl or not is through his actions toward you, as well as how he acts when it comes to commitment. Is he willing to fully commit to you, walk around with you by his side, and show you off to his friends? Some guys might do that regardless but is he willing to call you his girlfriend? Is he doing things such as ignoring you or spending a crazy amount of time with the “boys”? I’m not saying these are signs that point to him definitely seeing other girls behind your back, but if he’s not willing to commit, then he doesn’t deserve any more of your time. Like people always say, just because he is Mr. Right Now doesn't mean that he is Mr. Right. He’s not ready to settle, be mature and commit. But that’s what you deserve. You deserve someone to treat you the way you would treat them, and love you the way you already love him, even if you’re not the only girl.

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.
