The Typical 18 Year Old Mormon Girl


A few days ago I was sitting on my couch and my friend Shawn said something that got me to thinking, and to be quite frank I haven’t stopped thinking about this since. I have also been talking with my two best friends Rachelle and Paisley about this a lot as well.


Today I want to talk about the typical 18-19 year old Mormon girl. If you are LDS you know the stereotype. Lets not pretend that you don’t. First time away from home, marriage and baby hungry. Trying to get that MRS degree as soon as they can. I grew up in Texas so I didn’t really see a lot of that. I thought that the people who said that were crazy. Then… I moved to Utah, and lets be honest it is so true.
Everywhere I turn there is another Mormon girl itching to get married. She is hungry hungry hungry and nothing is going to stop her. Its crazy to me. I mean don’t get me wrong, I want to get married and have kids but SERIOUSLY! I am 19 years old. If I don’t get married for another 2 or 3 years I will be perfectly fine. Even if the 4 year mark rolled around and I was still single, I think that I would be okay. Lets not misunderstand, I like guys. I think that are great. I enjoy going on dates, and I like flirting with them. If I was to get married within the next year and a half I would not have a problem with it, but I am not in any way itching to get married.
Rachelle and Paisley on the other hand are BOY CRAZY! Don’t get me wrong, I love them to death, but they are the perfect example of the typical 18 year old Mormon girl… and guess what they are both 18! Rachelle turns 19 on the 26th so we’ll see if she changes.

Exhibit A- Rachelle Anastasia Terry 
She has a missionary. His name is Jake. He is way cool by the way. Anyhow, she started going boy crazy like the week we got here. He didn’t leave for the MTC till October 16th. We moved in on August 22nd. Boys fall in love with her. All the boys want her. Which is understandable because she is flipping gorgeous. At first this dude named Bob(All names have been switched so she doesn’t kill me in my sleep) liked her. She flirted with Bob for like 2 weeks but then Bob had a roommate named Phil who she really thought was attractive. Bob got super defensive and mad that she had a thing for Phil. Paisley made out with Phil and then Rachelle forgot all about Bob and Phil. Then we met Heath. Heath is suuuppeer attractive, and of course we all love him! Then Heath got a new roommate named Tiki. Tiki instantly fell in love with Rachelle. Rachelle also liked Tiki, a lot. They were a thing for like a month ish. Then Rachelle started to pick out every single little thing that bothered her about Tiki until she finally convinced herself that she doesn’t like him. Then Heath asked Rachelle on a date and she of course flipped out. She was sooo excited!!! And we were excited for her. But then Heath canceled the date because he is best friends with Tiki and he just can’t do that because Tiki still loves Rachelle and that is just totally against the bro code. Rachelle wants Heath but she thinks she can’t have him because he is tying to be a good friend yada yada yada. BUT Today we realized that Heath just wants girls to like him, and he enjoys the attention he gets, which by the way is a lot because he is freaking gorgeous. So now she is at their house flirting with both of them on purpose.


Exhibit B- Paisley Ciera Larson
Paisley has a problem. He problem is that boys like her.                                                                              No she’s not a lesbian. If Paisley likes a boy and he shows any interest what so ever, she instantly looses interest. So first there was this guy named Treg. He lives downstairs in our building. He stopped her in the breezeway like the 4th night we were here and asked for her phone number. She liked him because he could play the guitar. He was actually cool. She liked him and then he started to show that he was interested and she immediately changed her mind about him. She has avoided him like the plague ever since.  Then there was Phil, yes, the same Phil as Rachelle’s Phil. Paisley liked Phil and he sort of showed interest in her too, then she made out with Phil, and she regrets it. Then she just kind of forgot about Phil because he turned out to be an utter jerk. Then there was this guy named Harry, Paisley super liked Harry because he has a British accent and he is super attractive. Harry asked Paisley on a date and she was thrilled! She went on the date and Harry started to show that he liked her and then she completely changed her mind. She avoided him like the plague for like 3 weeks. Paisley thought Tiki was attractive for a day. Then wisened up. Then there is Charlie, Charlie is Tiki’s friend. Charlie isn’t really into Paisley, which is why she likes him so much. She loves him. Then there is Francis. Francis is awesome. He plays the guitar and has the voice of an angel. She liked him for like a week and a half. Sometimes he shows interest and she completely changes her mind, then he stops showing interest and she likes him again. Its kind of interesting actually. So on the shuttle we saw this red head guy named Tyler. Paisley and I both thought he was attractive but she was the only one who really wanted to go for it. Then he asked for her number and she changed her mind. Next is Mr. Almost Right. We saw him on the shuttle. Paisley was so going to go for it. Then we found out the has is married and Rachelle and I almost peed we laughed so hard. Paisley was depressed about it for like 4 days. Then there is Husky. Husky is super cool… and he really likes Paisley. A lot. Like no joke. He is super spiritual, which automatically makes a man more attractive, and he’s super funny and he is a really sweet guy. Paisley has no interest what so ever in Husky, other than to be his friend. Now there is Muffie, he is the exception to the rule. Paisley likes Muffie a whole lot, and Muffie likes Paisley a ton too. He shows it, and it doesn’t bother her. Paisley doesn’t like to text people but she texts Muffie all the time. They will be a couple. I can sense it.

Sooo… my roommates said that since I wrote about them I have to write about me. Mine is a ton simpler though. 
We moved in and I met this guy, his name is Joe. Joe is great. I super liked Joe for a long time. Then we became super close and he is now like one of my best friends. Then there is this guy named mark. Mark is way cool and I have known him for about 2ish years. I like Mark a ton but I am almost a million% sure that he doesn’t like me. So now I kind of like Joe again, and I know that’s bad, and blah blah blah. I don’t hang out with him a lot, and I do that on purpose. I like them both but I kind of don’t really have that strong of feelings for Joe. So I don’t really know what I want. Oh yeah, somewhere in there I liked Francis for like a night. Just one night. That was dumb.

So in conclusion, Shawn is right. 18-19 year old Mormon girls are crazy. You love us though.
