What's Wrong With Me?

I've been single for so long now, is there something wrong with me?

What's Wrong With Me?
Gustave Caillebotte

I haven't been in a relationship for some time now so does this mean that I'll be single forever? I mean I'm nice, sweet, romantic, and I love Jesus. I can even play the ukulele, I'm the whole package right? Well I am ridiculously shy when I come remotely close to a girl I am attracted to, and if I do somehow talk to them, my weirdness and awkwardness seems to radiate from me. I should just face the facts, I'm going to be single forever and just own a Corgi farm.

There are a good number of people who have some variation of this mindset. So many people think to themselves, if they're single, that they have so much to offer so why doesn't anyone want them. If you don't have these thoughts and you could care less about relationships and being in one then good for you, but for those of you that have this problem, I just have one thing to say. Stop! Stop caring so much about being in a relationship and stop thinking that there's something wrong with you. This is coming from somebody that has struggled a lot with this. I've struggled with accepting myself and trusting God to put the right personin my life one of these daysso please listen to me when I say that there is nothing wrong with you, I promise.

You have so much to offer, everybody does. It doesn't matter how weird or awkward you may think you are, you'll find the one some day. The biggest thing that you have to do if you're struggling with all of this is to trust God. I know that may not seem like the answer you're looking for, but it's true. Maybe you aren’t in a relationship because God doesn’t think you're ready for one yet. God knows what's best for us and sometimes this means remaining single. Sometimes you have to stop focusing so much of your attention on trying to get into a relationship and focus on bettering yourself. Focus on your relationship with Christ and work on fixing things in your life that you may struggle with. I once heard that we need to stop spending so much time on looking for "the one" and spend our time preparing ourselves to be the one for our future spouse. This is how we need to live, we need to be preparing ourselves for whoever we're going to marry in the future. We need to stop spending so much time worrying about finding a relationship and questioning our worth based on whether or not we are in one or not. Jesus loves each and every one of us and there's nothing wrong with any of us. We are all unique and special in our own ways so be patient and trust God in everything, especially with relationships.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Your mom: you can't live with her, but you can't live without her. You love your mom, but she is insanely predictable. Here is a list of things your mom has probably done.

Girl With Bleached Hair

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
