My title is: Marriage is the New Young
Remember back in high school, that first day? You hesitantly step off the bus and look around, the building towers over you. Squeezing through the front door, you hope to find your locker with ease. Upperclassmen wiz by you with years of experience, and eventually you make it. Books in hand and bag in locker, you set out on a quest to find your first class. Walking nearly a mile, you see those golden numbers by the door that signifies that you’ve made it. You stumble inside and the cacophony from the hall way leaves you. You look around at the young faces like you, just as frightened. Half the seats already taken, you pick one at random. You look over at the person you’re going to be sharing a desk with for the next 3 months. “Hey, they’re kind of cute,” you think.
The rest of the semester becomes a blur. All you think is, “this person is great; they’re perfect for me.” You go on your first date, and quickly it becomes ‘Facebook’ official. After two months, you’re convinced. You plan to marry.
Teenagers are constantly getting married, and for good reason. You’re head-over-heels for them, right? Why wouldn’t you want to spend the rest of your life with them? And this way, you know you always have someone with you in case that pimple gets abnormally large.
It seems like I have a lot of friends who were dating in high school, are going to college but still together, and hope to get married when they are done. I keep wondering how they can know they are with the right person if they never really meet new people to compare him or her to. Sometimes I think they are so insecure about themselves that they are afraid to be by themselves.
ReplyDeleteI really like that introduction. Its extremely well written and pretty interesting also.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to read your paper today but I sadly didn't get to. It seems fun and interesting to read. It is weird how young people are marrying. I know a lot who have done that and quickly divorced. People should just wait and not rush!
