Alright, alright, slow down.

In the last two weeks, I've found out about two more people from my graduating class that are now engaged. Plus one from the class below me. Add to that the ever-growing list of peers that I know who are already married or engaged...

Am I the only one who is a litle creeped out here?

I can't help but wonder...what's the rush?

We are nineteen, twenty, twenty-one. We have the rest of our lives to make good decisions, as a close friend once said. Why settle down now?

Of course, another friend once told me that when you find the right person, it doesn't feel like settling down. So maybe that's what's happening for those people, I don't know. But how can you honestly know that it's the right person after six or twelve months? Or even if you've only known him or her for two years...and now you're ready for the rest of your lives? It just doesn't make sense to me.

Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm less of a romantic than I thought. If that's the case, well...I hope it won't always be that way.
