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.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
