Bachelorette

Single life sucks, especially when you feel ready to find the one and settle down. But, I guess it is not in the plan for me right now.

When looking around at couples, I have discovered that there are different types. There are the couples that look like they do not go together at all. Like the dangerously gorgeous guy and the simply repulsive chick... or vice versa. The 10 with the -2. Or you have your couples that look more like siblings than a potential spouse and you wonder what their children will look like, or you are certain that their children will be the splitting image of them, because there really is no other option. There are also the couples that are a perfect match. the 10's with the 10's, the 1's with the 1's.

I wonder what kind of couple I will be a part of... I wonder if I will ever have the opportunity to fit into one of these categories. Honestly, I don't care which one I am a part of. I just want t be a part of one of them.

I just want to fall and be fallen for...

Spring Break.. In the Cove

Spring Break is when people are usually out, working on their tans, partying with complete strangers, and making memories, most of which they will not remember. So, I am going to tell you what my Spring Break entailed.

First, I came home, after an easy midterm. The single-life doesn't have much to offer a 22-year-old female during Spring Break. When I should be working on my beach-bod, instead I am filling out application after application, trying to figure out what I am going to be doing within the couple months. Everything I really want to be doing seems so out of my reach. Poeple say they see big things for my future, well, stuck in this small town isn't going to get me much of anywhere. I always thought I would be doing PR for some celebrity or professional athlete.

This year, I got tired of being pushed around and cut some people out of my life, I made some changes, and I have never been better. However, there is a point that you look back on the past and you wonder, "Could I have done something differently to get me to where I want to be now? Was there a short cut?" Truth be told, I don't believe in short cuts. I believe you have to work for what you want. You have to be willing to place yourself on the line for those things, as risky as it may seem. All 5'2'' of me is ready to move on and get to where I need to be. Graduation is quickly approaching, and what am I doing over my Spring Break? Research, research, and did I mention research? I am looking for career opportunities, were I feel my abilities will be most needed and cherished. I want to make a difference and be on a team that I believe in.

So, while others are lying on the beach, I am jumping in my tannig bed for ten minute increments and figuring out my life. So, if you have any adivce, it's welcomed, but until my life is on track toward success, I won't be completely happy.
