Singleness is an amazing opportunity for young people to get the most out of their relationship with the Lord. God uses our singleness to help others and to care for those around us. It's also the time for us to grow with Christ and love him fully. If you aren't content with God's love while you're single then going into a relationship isn't going to make you feel whole. People often describe an emptiness they feel that they don't know how to fill but the hole is Christ that you've been trying to fill with earthly things. No matter how godly the other person is they will never be able to fill the hole meant for Jesus.
Sometimes being single can feel like a chain weighing you down from opportunities and you might feel like you're lagging behind your other friends but take this time to develop an undying devotion to God. Develop who God is in your life and who he isn't. You realize the truths he has for you and the love that will never leave you. You have to be faithful where you are. Be present in your conversations and let Christ's love shine through you. Don't waste your singleness by looking for a partner, when you're ready the Lord will provide you a spouse.
Being single is the time for you to lay the foundation for the rest of your life. It's a time to live for God and not yourself. Develop your prayer life, talk to Jesus like he's your best friend, and find friends who will hold you accountable. Gain a drive and direction that will lead you to the feet of Jesus. Care more about other people's eternity rather then your temporary life. Take the time during your singleness to change yourself for the better. Live for Christ everyday and with his purpose in mind. If you're not willing to make God number one now you won't after college. Go all in for the Lord.

Living for Christ is something I've personally been struggling with a lot. I focused on school and my other relationships rather then the only one that would truly sustain me. No matter the season you're in, you have to continue to seek the Lord or you other relationships will fall apart. My goal is to live for the plan that the Lord has for me and trust that he knows best even though things are hard right now.
"I am the daughter of a king who is not moved by the world for my God is with me and goes before me. I do not fear because I am His."
