It has been brought to my attention that ladies who attend Christian Universities have been marked with the stereotype of receiving a Ring By Spring, or the infamous Misses Degree.
For those of you (which I’m sure are few) who are not familiar with this term, please allow me to enlighten you. In a nutshell, a female's intention of attending Christian University, Bible school, etc., is to find their soul mate and thus, receive an engagement ring by the spring semester. I admit, before coming to CBU I had no clue what this was. Once informed, I was sure to do everything in my power to cease such nonsense.
Here's my opinion (in hopes of ceasing the nonsense), I’m pretty sure that a large percentage of the female population at these schools are bothered by the whole Ring by Spring deal (abbreviated as RBS).
To regulate for all of the ladies, I’m sure we’d prefer that others believe we’re here at school to work toward our degree first, and everything else, second. I've heard that most married couples meet each other in college... cool. You know what else is cool though? A college degree.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all in favor of engagement excitement. Seriously, P R O P S to those who are married or engaged and in school. How do you do it?
So, common users of the RBS theory, my proposal to you... Let’s keep this one in the 1950’s where it belongs.
I'm interested in your thoughts on this. What do you think?
Finally someone said something! My parents were both in agreement that I would only be here for a little while for my ACTUAL degree and that the rest of my time would be spent getting my MRS degree and eventually I'd leave before actually getting what I came there for. Utter nonsense!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they were just playing around with me though with MAYBE a tiny bit of honesty lol.
Trying to put the RBS back in the '50s!
I like the Ring by Spring idea.
