Finding "Mr. Right" in College

Happy Monday, my blessed naturals!
I have been getting the nudge to talk about college relationships and finding "Mr. Right." This article is for any young lady who is expecting to find "Mr. Right" in college.

College can be a very exciting time of your life. It may be a good feeling to study subjects in which you have a real interest. Also, you may be moving on campus and excited about your new found independence. You may also be looking for "Mr. Right" a.k.a "the one." My advice is to avoid setting that expectation for yourself. Although it is not impossible, it is very unlikely that you will find "the one" in college.

In addition, when you keep the expectation in your mind of needing to find "Mr. Right" in college, you set yourself up for disappointment. This may cause you to open up physically, emotionally, and/or mentally to a guy who may have never been designed to even cross your path. While you are getting to know a little more about yourself in college and getting your studies on, your male counterparts may be doing the same. Some of them may also just be looking to have a "good" time.

It may sound like a wack thing, but try to focus on your studies and enjoy your college life. Try things like hanging out with your friends, meeting new people, studying, participating in school groups or clubs etc.  It may not appear so, but your time in college is a small amount out of the bigger picture of your life.

As corny as it may sound, there will be time for meeting "Mr. Right" and falling in love. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, 'To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heavens."Ecclesiastes 3:8 says, 'A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace." So, please believe that when God feels it is the right time, "Mr. Right" will find you. Proverbs 18:22 says, "He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord." Until then, stay focused on your studies and enjoy your college life.


What are your college goals?

Aborigines and Melanesians: Naturally Blonde Hair and Dark Skin

Melanesia: Solomon Island girls (photo courtesy of the -cropped-Flickr- Australian Civil-Military Centre http://www.acmc.gov.au/ ) Naturally blonde hair is often associated with white or Caucasian people. However, there are groups of dark skin people who have naturally blonde hair also. Some of these groups include the Aboriginal Australians (Aborigines) and the Melanesians. I love this fact because it goes against the idea that one group or culture must look a certain way or stay in a certain category.  The Aborigines have dark skin. Some of them also have blonde hair which tends to be straight, but can be curly. Scientists first believed they were descendants of Eurasians. In 2011, scientists found evidence against the theory from a sample of natural hair. The sample of hair, which was said to be more than 100 years old, helped scientists determine that Aborigines were descendants of Africans. The New York Times confirmed this finding: "The Abo...

Sheryl Underwood Wears Natural Hair and Apologizes on The Talk

1BlessedNatural: Sheryl Underwood Wears Natural Hair and Apologizes on The Talk (photo cred: CBS/The Talk) Yesterday, comedian and talk show host, Sheryl Underwood wore her natural hair onstage of the talk show, The Talk. She received a round of applause, and Sharon Osbourne commented that her Teenie Weenie Afro (TWA) was gorgeous. Underwood explained to her fellow co-hosts and audience that she'd done something wrong 2 years ago when she spoke against the actions of Heidi Klum for keeping her sons' Afro hair in a bag as a keepsake. She said the hair was "nasty." Underwood received backlash for her words, especially from the Black community. They were viewed as examples of self-hatred among other things. On Monday's episode of The Talk Sheryl Underwood apologized a second time for her 2013 statement by saying this: I made some statements that were not only wrong, they hurt our community. When I say, "our community," I mean Black ...

Priscilla Shirer Shares Her Natural Hair Story and Tips on IG Live!

Actress and minister of Going Beyond Ministries Priscilla Shirer shared her natural hair story and secrets on IG Live today. After receiving numerous questions about her long thick natural hair, she decided it was time to do a video. Shirer said, "I've decided that sometimes, to a woman, hair = ministry." Shirer started getting a perm at about 13 years old. During previous years, her mother would use the hot comb to straighten her hair. When Shirer was 24 years old, she noticed a circular patch of hair that had broken off on the side of her head. After she visited a doctor and they plucked a few strands from different parts of her hair, the doctor concluded that Shirer's hair was growing in healthy. However, it was something that she was doing to her hair that was making it break off. As a result, her doctor told her to stop relaxing her hair for 6 months. While driving home, Shirer had a breakthrough. She originally had no intention of following the doctor...
