For some reason, it seems like everyone around you is dating. You listen to the stories of your friends talking about their boyfriends and you can't add anything relevant. Nights get lonely when everyone couples off for their one-on-one time and you ultimately end up on a hot date with your dog and Netflix.

Instead of sitting in envy and whining about how you're destined to die alone, you should remember why being single is the greatest gift that anyone could ever give you.

1. You never have to worry about what he's doing.

You will never have to anxiously await his reply messages as he parties it up with the boys or jealously wonder who the girl in his Snapchat story is.

2. You can wear what you want where you want and no one can judge you

There is no boy in your life telling you that he's annoyed about what you're wearing because it may attract the opposite sex. You have every right to show yourself off while feeling confident and looking hot.

3. Your grades will improve drastically.

Daydreaming about a boy and constantly wishing that you were hanging out with him instead of sitting at the library can really have an effect on your grades. Without that significant other in your life, you can really crack down on those books and maybe pass that organic chemistry exam.

4. You save a ton of money that you can now spend on yourself.

Birthdays, anniversaries, and date night are only some of the events that you, the participating girlfriend, must attend, which ultimately puts a dent on your credit card bill. With none of these obligations, you are free to spend that money on the most important person in your life: you.

5. Keeping up with shaving is not a necessity.

There's no explanation needed.

6. You can make bad decisions and not feel bad about them

You flirted with the bartender and your skirt accidentally rolled up while you were flipping your hair while dancing on an elevated surface. Who cares?

7. You can take another shot with that boy at the end of the bar.

The best part about being single is getting boys to buy you drinks at the bar while shamelessly flirting with them. Use your powers while you can.

8. Party as hard as you want.

If that boy who you've been flirting with is actually really cute, go for it. There's nothing stopping you. If not, just have a blast and do whatever you want.

9. You can wear whatever type of underwear you want.

Those lacy bras and thongs that you wear when you know that you're hanging out with your boyfriend cannot compare to the comfort of a sports bra and boy shorts.

10. You can focus on yourself.

You are the most important person in your life and you don't need anyone else to be there for you to be happy. Be independent and love yourself first.
