Over the next six days I will be adding pieces of a personal experience of mine. At the end of the story I will have a very thought provoking post that sums up my point in telling the story. Bear with me please, it will be worth it, I promise. You need to know this about me before I can say what I have learned (development). You need to know where I am coming from (research)!

"Grandma, you really don't have to worry about me getting hitched early, I don't plan on dating in college. I plan on waiting until I get my masters degree. I just plan on rejecting the boys who do ask me out. They are a distraction I do not need." Yes, this is what I said to my Grandma and my family as I was preparing to leave for college. You may laugh at this and think, "Oh you naive little girl." I don't mind because I really was. I am not afraid to admit it!
The next day after high school graduation, I moved down to Colorado from South Dakota. I worked as a secretary for my grandparents' glass shop. My cousin Savanna was working for my grandparents as a secretary as well. We became close friends. I remember one time she told me I reminded her of a song, Dierks Bentley "Lot of Leaven Left to Do." I will not protest because she has every right to think this. I didn't date a ton in high school, but when I did it didn't last very long. It got too serious for me too quickly. I LOVED flirting so I didn't like being tied down. It maybe lasted two weeks sometimes three, but I just couldn't handle feeling like I was standing still. I didn't like the feeling of someone claiming that I was "theirs," well maybe for two weeks I did! Right around the two week mark I started panicking. I thought I really liked these boys, but then, I guess you could say, I got cold feet and would break it off.
