Let’s talk romance

Raise your hand if you’re 23 and have never been in a serious relationship. *raises hand* Nobody gets why it’s like that for me. They look at me and say “Oh you’re not awful looking, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to find someone.” But, finding a fulfilling relationship is about more than looks. I don’t want to ever feel like I’m wasting my time. Through witnessing most of the relationships around me, it seems like coupling up is a lot more stress than I want to deal with right now.

Does he really like me? Will he ever make me his girlfriend? Is he cheating on me? If he had the chance to get with that gorgeous girl doing yoga in the park would he take it? Does he think that my friend’s prettier than me? …Too many questions that I’m scared to know the answer to.

I may be a strange girl for saying this but I am voluntarily choosing to not look for that “half that’s supposed to make me whole” right now. Not only do I have shit to do, a career to establish and lots of Netflix to watch, but, I feel good on my own. My one real experience “dating” someone was in college and dude was an effing jerk. My heart is set on never having to go through something as complicated and as annoying as that again. I know my worth and I feel like it’s important that we all do!

I would tell anyone that if you’re not in the position where you want to selflessly give to another human being then PLEASE stay single. It’s okay to be a little selfish when you’re young, just don’t drag anyone into your selfishness with you. They likely don’t deserve it.

Do I need to grow up?

Grow up. That’s what my mom told me to do today. She wanted to talk about the whole job hunting situation and I told her that I didn’t want to talk about it. EXCUSE me that I don’t want to think about it every minute of the day. I already think about it all the time. I think about it every time that I apply for a job. I think about it every time that I attempt to network. I think about it every time that I get a rejection email. And I especially think about it every time that I don’t get an email at all. She just wants to help. I know that. But sometimes, it’s just better for the soul to not talk about things because, if I’m not talking about it then maybe… just maybe… I won’t think about it for a little while.

I am not my major

I’m not. I have so much more to offer than that. Even so, if I’m a Psychology major and I want to get into the Marketing field, there should be nothing stopping me from being able to accomplish that. I’m highly qualified with not only being able to understand and communicate with various populations, but I’m also extremely familiar with figuring out how best to attain and analyze data. Bottom line… I HAVE A COLLEGE EDUCATION. Doesn’t that mean anything? I’m skilled, personable, a quick learner – I even voluntarily took extra classes this summer after already graduating because I wanted to be more familiar with certain aspects of business. I feel like I could do anything in the world. Well, I used to feel like it. Honestly, after these months of not being able to secure a job that good feeling’s been slightly dwindling. It’s hard. It sucks. I’m trying my hardest to stay cheerful and positive, but…some days…I just wonder. At this point, I wish I had just used my summer to travel around Europe. At least then I’d have better stories to tell than the ones from Finance and Microeconomics class. Ugh.

Alright. It’s always good to vent it out. But there is no winning in the word quit. I’ll just have to change my tactics, and keep on trying.

It’s my life and I’ll blog about it if I want to

I was going to wait for some momentous occasion to write my first blog post. As if some blogging gods were going to come to me in a dream or something and tell me that it’s time to get started. I changed my mind. It’s just a random day, March 21st, 2015; nothing of any particular consequence has happened. But I figured that since my blog is going to be filled with my thoughts, hopes, dreams and random tidbits of my life, no time is like the present. Here are some things that have been consuming my life lately…(in no particular order):

1. Netflix.

2. Securing a job that will eventually lead to my future long term career.

3. Netflix.

4. Networking.

5. Attempting to lead a healthy lifestyle.

6. Faith.

7. Friendships.

8. The Mindy Project.

9. Family Relationships.

10. Netflix.

I figure that my blog is a safe enough space for me to admit that having freetime after college correlates to an insane amount of Netflix. Life isn’t evolving as quickly as I imagined that it would while I was still in school. However, I have no doubt that with a little more time, patience and faith, it’ll all work out in the best way in the end.

But man oh man will I be ecstatic to no longer have to pimp biscuits for the man…(a.k.a. Waitress in a restaurant).
