Being Single in College Is Not a Bad Thing

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UTM chapter.

By the time girls reach college, they are already on the lookout for their dream guy. There are some girls who are already in long-term relationships and others who are as single as can be. If you’re like me, then you may have wondered why you’re still single while all of your friends are on the fast track to marriage. However, I’m here to tell you that there is absolutely nothing wrong with being single while in college.

Being single is a way for you to figure out exactly who you are now and who you plan to be in the future. Is it really best for you to get into a relationship before you consider what your goals and dreams are in life? I’m sure we can all agree that focusing on ourselves is way more important than stressing over why a guy has not called or texted you back, yet.

Staying single during your college years is also a plus because you can literally do whatever you want. If you want to go out for the night with your friends, you can do that without having someone constantly bothering you asking where you are and who you’re with. There would be no problems with you having a girls’ night every weekend. You wouldn’t have to sacrifice your time with your friends or your favorite television shows. If you want to kiss a random guy at a party or a bar, you can! You can do anything you want while you’re single.

Having freedom is a must while you’re college. Use college as a way to find the girls who will be your bridesmaids, and don’t spend your time searching for your groom. Enjoy your college years. Let that perfect relationship find you. Don’t go through college looking and searching for your soulmate and miss out on all the great things college has to offer. Don’t end your college life asking “what if” questions.

If you already have found that perfect someone, then congratulations. You’ve found the person you are going to spend the rest of your life with. I’m in no way telling you to dump your sweetheart. If you are truly happy and in love, then embrace it. You’re lucky! However, don’t be upset if you haven’t found that someone, yet. Enjoy your single years while you still can, and prepare to enjoy the years with your perfect someone when they come along.
