Chrissy: I got the ring!

But not really, of course

.

At BYU there is this ridiculous pressure to be in a relationship.

Although its not always spoken, it seems to weigh heavily in the atmosphere.

And sometimes I get a little overwhelmed by it.

But then my amazing roomies from Delaware tell me, "Girl, you are a strong independent black woman. And you do not need a man. WWOMJD. What would Opra Winfrey, Michelle Obama, and Jada Pinkett Smith do?"

And then I'm ok :)

As a joke I always carry a fake wedding ring I bought a long time ago from Claire's in my coat pocket. So that if some creeper guy, who also feels the pressure to get married, comes and hits on me I can slip it on and flash it in his direction.

Oh the cleverness of me!
