I'm getting engaged in the fall. I'll be a junior. I'm getting engaged because I WANT to be engaged. We're getting engaged because we want our lives together to start now, not after all my homework is turned in. I'm getting engaged because we're both ready for it, not because I want some stupid ring.

This was an awful opinion to publish as an article. I'll think twice before I come to this website again.

All the bitterness and hate, for what? Some people really can meet in college, get engaged in it, and live happily ever after. I know several such couples who have lasted 10+ years. Sure, plenty of people are young, inexperienced, and stupid at 21, but some have actually been through more than the average 30-something and are mature and ready to make important life decisions. Some people feel that starting a life right after college with the person you love more than anything and can depend on like no one else in your life is a beautiful thing to do, and feel that the committment of marriage makes it meaningful on a level totally different than merely shacking for a few years after earning your degree. It's not about easy access to sex or a big ring to everybody.

Everyone is different. Don't make such harsh generalizations. And maybe let go of the jealousy of the happy married couples out there. ;)

That's me exactly. I wish people would realize that is possible. Sure, it's stupid to marry some person you just met in college, but we have known we were going to get married since we were 15… is that so unnecessary?
