5 Things Girls Who've Never Had A Real Relationship Need to Know

Hi, my name is Grace. I am 19, a sophomore in college, and I have never had a boyfriend.

You Don't Need a Man

Yes, I know. This is said over and over again. Coming from someone who wishes she had a mans to cuddle with, this is something I hold near and dear to my heart. It's a nice thought to have someone in your life to care for you and to snuggle with you when it's cold out, but in the grand scheme of things, you are a strong woman. You do not need a man to validate this.

Never Settle For Less

Sometimes, I think to myself, "gee...are my expectations too high?" but then I remind myself I deserve the best. You do too. Don't just settle for someone because you want a boyfriend. It's not fair to you, and quite honestly, not to the guy either. He doesn't deserve to get strung along for the same reasons you don't deserve to be strung along. Be honest with yourself and be honest in your relationship .If he isn't treating you right, and I know it's hard, but leave the relationship. You matter just as much as your partner. You need to be happy in your relationship.

There is Nothing Wrong With You

This one is pretty self explanatory. You are you. You are a wonderful person, and if the men you have interacted with in your life don't see this, it is their loss. Keep being you, you wonderful, perfect person. You know you deserve the best.

The Right Guy will Come Around

Eventually, we will no longer be perpetually single. We will be in relationships, we will date people, and some of us will be lucky to get the right guy on the first try. But, we also know that this almost never happens. One of the greatest pieces of advice my mom told me before I went to college was, "date a lot" not in a sleeping around type of way, but to see the guys that are out there, to understand what I need in a partner. It may take years to find the right person, but they are somewhere out there. Patience is a virtue. I know it sounds cheesy, that we all have "the one" but I believe we have several "the ones" in our lives, just at various stages.

It can be hard to have literally been single your whole life, especially when you see people on Instagram and Facebook super happy with their significant other. But, at the end of the day, someone will come along to watch Disney movies at 2 AM with you. And when all else fails, adopt a dog or cat and eat a bunch of chocolate.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
