Might be a rant, but that's really what our thoughts are anyway
I cannot believe the amount of girls I go to school with that are engaged. I thought women marrying young was something of the past. Something your mom did. When did getting married right after collage become the trend? I never imagined I would see so many diamond rings on girls hands at college. All of Todd's close friends are engaged or married except for one, but she really wants to he is just not as eager. Did I miss the young dating couple phase? Going out as couples to the bar or club is fun right? But when they are all married they have bed times and jobs early in the morning.
They are are like old couples who don't do anything "crazy" and make me think they are in their 30s. I'm young, dating and want to hang out with other young people who are dating. Not people who are engaged or married. They do not have the same priorities as me. They are thinking about "us" and I am thinking about "me". There is never one without the other. But I am an independent woman. I can stand on my own. I am not just the girlfriend, but Aimee. I can talk to his parents when he is not around and it is not awkward.
If one of his friends shows up without the sig. other the very first question asked ot them is "Where is so and so?" As if they should be attached at the hip and together for every social occasion. Is it my fault that I didn't meet my bf until college that I have to pass right over the young and off the cuff stage? Do whatever we want whenever we want. No mutual bills to pay, no fixing up the house, no having to work a job we don't want because we are supporting each other. Is that a phase noone thinks is fun? Is that why everyone passes it by so fast? Others who are single can probably agree with what I am saying. It may sound strange to others that I am feeling this way and do have a bf. I want to be young and have the world at my fingertips and enjoy that before I "settle down".
That actually does not sound like a very fun phrase and if you haven't discovered by now I want to have fun! Why are people skipping their 20s and going straight to their 30s? It is just not fair for those of us who have not had out sig. other since high school. There have been more people than I would like asking me when and if I'm getting married? Are you crazy? I'm like 22. I can barely take care of myself.I have spiderman shoelaces that always come untied because they are made for little kids. I just went to see my fav band The All American Rejects where most of the crowd looked like they were 16. I consider myself to still be a kid and I want to be that for as long as possible. Now I know after I graduate that I will have to get a full time job which which will be not fun but I don't have to answer to anybody. I can find a job and move away to a different state whenever I want. Yes a diamond ring is a beautiful thing. But marriage is not all fairy tale lands like the movies make it out to be.
Bottom line. Is there anyone with a significant other who is graduating college who is not getting married? The odds are really discouraging.
