Why Guys Need To Stop Saying "All Of The Good Girls Are Taken"
Rachel Wahlin Photography

If I had a dollar for every time I have heard some guy say this I would probably be able to live financially stable in my penthouse with my dogs.

Relationships seem like they are everywhere in college. You see people holding hands while going to class, posting cute pictures everywhere and seeing that they just vibe so well together. They are loyal to each other, and probably have been dating forever it seems.

Then, there is a single you, wanting to be in a relationship, and wanting to care for someone, and (what I say) being someone’s "rock.”

I see/hear all of the time how guys say, “all of the good girls are taken” and that “hoes are everywhere in college” (which we all can admit is true, but not every girl is like that).

Now think of how your parents met. Was it when he/she was trashed and dancing on a table at a party? Or was it when they saw them just doing their own thing, and being themselves, in some sort of pure moment?

Now let me ask you, are you being fake?

Are you being your true self to someone?

Or are you putting on some sort of show/mask to make them like you?

I can tell you right now, if you don’t show your true colors, you won’t find true love.

Now boys, listen up. Not all of the “good girls” are taken.

You yourself may not be ready to be in a relationship, even if you think you are ready to be in one, and that is completely okay.

God will bring that person into your life when they are meant to be. Also, if you are looking on tinder, or going to parties to look for a relationship, that may not be the best idea.

My advice to you is to look closely at the people around you. Are you drawn to anyone? Do they show characteristics that you truly look for in a woman? Are they hard working, down to earth and not afraid to be themselves? Those are the girls to look for.

If there isn’t anyone like that in your life right now, that is completely okay.

Love is patient, and love is kind. It will happen when it is meant to. The greatest things come to those who wait.

Good girls are out there, and they are hidden gems that you are meant to find.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
