We are NOT mutants
I dedicate this post to all my awesome single friends who are over the age of 22.
A few days ago I was sitting at SBs studing the exciting world of autonomic drugs. I was there for around 3 hours & had around six groups of people sitting in the next few tables. . .most of them are meeting to do a type of Bible Study - and yet after a few minutes of plesantries, each group has gotten into a discussion about the opposite sex - one girl swears she met the guy that God has planned for her to marry (I think she's known him for 2 weeks, but I'm not sure he knows her name yet. . .) one girl is having second thoughts about a recent break-up, and so forth, and so on. The overriding theme of these young college people kept being "I have to find 'the one' before I get out of college - because everyone else is getting married - so obviosuly I have to or I'll be some weird reject or something."
If that weren't enough - any time I go back home to a wedding or wedding shower, I get asked, "so when is your big day?" or "are you dating someone?" or "do you want to get married?" Again - the church society has the same overriding theme as the 21 year olds. . .people - chill out!
Just over the course of this past week I have studied with, ate dinner with, talked on the phone with, watched TV with, or just hung out with 11 different single people (five guys, six girls) ages 22-26. Each and every single one of them is smart, pretty/cute/hot, has an awesome personality, and each of them is wanting to dedicate their lives to giving back to this world we live in. None of these people are mutants - and they have all survived the graudation from college without a trip down the aisle. . .so dear all of you panicing undergrads at SBs. . .STOP. . .take a deep breath. . .trust God & QUIT worrying about it! Just think, I AM your worst case scenario (I'm 25 & single) - but unlike you - I have five HOT guys, and you only have one. . .so it is I who feel sorry for you.
P.S. Ms. Debbie, Rachel, Kaci & Lina - I know, I know, each of you have taken the plung over the past few months and have either started dating someone or are getting engaged. . .I'm happy for each of you. . .you are all also smart/pretty/great personality/dedicating your lives.
