I used to think that these types of girls were a mythical creature. I thought that they were something that people joked around about but never actually existed. unfortunately for you and me, these girls are alive and well.
They are called M.R.S. degrees, they are women who pay to go to college, who are really only interested in obtaining a "degree" in getting married to the man of their dreams.
They prowl about campus seeking poor and unsuspecting men to hunt down and capture for themselves, they are quite obvious about flirtation with their prey, and they usually wear enough perfume to kill small animals.
They are the M.R.S. degrees.
It is unfathomable to me that a young, and seemingly intelligent young woman would pay $31,000, move to college, begin to get a degree, only to have the end goal of getting married?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING. REALLY. WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIVES?!
Us as women have spent centuries getting our rights, pursuing our dreams, kicking butt in the workplace, and you're over here just hoping to get married?
Listen, It's awesome if you happen to find Mr. Right while you're attending college, but to go to college solely for that purpose? That's something short of crazy.
Every girl dreams of marrying "the one" that will put up with our drama, morning breath, and PMS. You aren't alone in that. We all want that guy we like to like us back and then get married and have 30 children. But the thing is- it'll all come when the time is right. You're in college. Enjoy your friends, family, classes, and adventures of being single before it's too late and you have children hanging onto every limb that you have screaming for food!
Also, let me get this straight, I don't think that there is anything wrong with a woman pursuing a guy...TO A CERTAIN EXTENT. Yes, flirt with him, make him think you're adorable- whatever. But when it comes down to it- don't be dragging him down the aisle like you know how he feels about you. Let the guy pursue you! There is nothing better than a guy asking YOU out on a date or telling YOU how he feels. Guys have heard enough of our feelings, we tell them our feelings every time they come up. That's how we roll.
What I'm trying to say is that you are a beautiful woman whether you have a guy on your arm or not. YOU DON'T NEED NO MAN to make you feel like you're worth something. Because you already are. You're worth being pursued, you're worth being discovered by Mr. Right at the right time, and you are worth dying for. So, M.R.S. degrees, don't let me catch you with your tongues hanging out on campus chasing boys, Mr. Right will come riding by on his horse eventually, but for now- enjoy college.
End Rant.
Oh my goodness. THIS. Thank you for writing this. :)
