As already mentioned, there are a ton of girls on my campus. In fact, across the nation, there are more girls than guys in higher education. And on this earth, there are more females than males: only 51% to 49%; don’t freak out ;) Of course, this can lead to more competition between us for guys and it certainly gives guys their choice of the girl they’d like to be with.
BUT, I recently realized this wonderful turning of the tables: we have the pick of the litter too :) Now, I’m not suggesting we all turn lesbian; what I’m saying is we can shift our perspective.
All these girls are a positive thing. We have the pick of the litter for good girl friends. Those are hard to come by. We don’t have to settle for half-hearted, ill-fitted relationships or acquaintances. We can weed out the girls that grate our nerves or have dissimilar interests and keep the ones who we truly enjoy being with.
These relationships are much more worth our time and attention because lets face it, unless we meet our future husbands, we are not likely to keep in touch with many of our dates from college. However, good girlfriends can last a long time – if we have the opportunity to find those that really suit us.
They are the ones to pour our secrets, ideas, and love into because they are trustworthy and reciprocate it. Not that boys can’t do that BUT we will probably only settle down with one guy and we don’t have to select just one girl friend.
Fortunately, we have the pick of the litter here. So look at it that way ladies, if you don’t currently have a boyfriend (or even if you do) to gush over and give all your time and attention to, SHARE that with a good girl friend. Call her randomly or give her a note or compliment or plan a girl’s night.
Good girl friends are likely to stick around longer than any boy so make a wise investment: sisters before misters!
