4 Reasons Why You Might Be Single


Please turn the dramatic music off. It's 12 a.m., you should be sleeping and not swiping left and right on Tinder. It's not you. It's them. Are you comparing yourself to your local classmates who got married at the age of 15, had kids at 17, and bought a house at 19? Yeah, you know who I'm talking about. Well, STOP. Also, are you just sick of BEING SINGLE? Well, you're single for a reason, and it's not exactly a bad thing..

You want more than just a FWB

Okay, let's be VERY clear, it can be really cute to have a Netflix and Chill session occasionally but after a while, you want something more, and right now you're at that POINT. It's okay that you want more for yourself, because you value different things, you're discovering who you are, and you're also realizing what you don't want in a MAN. It's okay that you would rather be Michelle Obama, than Monica Lewinsky. I mean….unless you received a large lump sum from Bill, then Mrs. Lewinsky it is.

You might be picking the wrong guy

This is a simple mistake that a lot of girls and guys make. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU. BUT SIS.. HIM.. REALLY? I'm rolling my eyes through the screen because you know better! We tend to look at the Balenciaga's, the likes or even the stupid, idiotic shirtless pictures in the mirror. OR EVEN WORSE the very 'bro-douchebag' personality. My 9th grade teacher also told me 'you have fun with the bad guys, you marry the good guys.' Here's a tip- if he has his fraternity letters in his BIO, log off.. throw your phone and run away as fast as you can because he's about to ruin your life.

You're not 'putting out' like some

We've all been there before. You see her, she has all the guys and you say to yourself 'wait a minute how does this happen.. I'm Beyoncé." GIRL IT'S BECAUSE SHE'S PUTTING OUT. and some people will say 'oh it's because she has confidence.' AS IF!!! If that's what confidence looks like, then just call me Amy Winehouse because I said NO NO NO. Girl, stick to being you. Don't do something that's not genuine because you want male attention. Yes, we all want male attention but at what expense?? Whoever is meant for you will come. Sis, I'm not saying tomorrow but he's COMING. My friend told me something so beautiful one day. She said 'God has you hidden, and whoever doesn't see your glory isn't meant for you.' Okay but seriously God, can you take me out of hiding for at least 5 minutes? That's another conversation for another sad day.

You're in the wrong state

Pack your bags and go find your man. Just kidding, we're in a pandemic! Maybe just maybe, you're not in the right state. Maybe your man isn't in Mississippi, or Alabama. Maybe he's in Alaska or even Utah. Idk, he's somewhere. If your hometown guys are deplorable, then that's a sign. I don't know how you're going to get there, but get there fast because he might be with 'HER' in a bar. But don't worry, you're Michelle Obama, and doesn't Michelle have Barrack? Okay, NEXT CASE.

You're single because damn you just want to be single

Sometimes, it's really not that deep. There's no mathematical equation as to why you're SINGLE. You could just simply like being single. You love sleeping peacefully at night knowing you don't have to worry about if your boyfriend is cheating on you. You love wearing what you want, going where you want, and DOING WHAT YOU WANT. You're self sufficient. I find that beautiful. A man doesn't make or break who you are, they just add. You don't need a man, you want a man. Ask yourself this if you're ever in a dilemma about a guy 'is he a liability or is he an asset to my life?" If the answer is he's a liability, then peace and love shawty.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
