10 Reasons Being Single Is Actually Awesome

1. You don't have to consult another person before doing something.

Want to take that job across the country? Want to get a cute new pup? Good news, you can! Without having to discuss it with a significant other or receiving any backlash.

2. You can have friends of the opposite sex and it not be a problem.

Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to have a *just* friend of the opposite sex.

3. You save money that you would be spending on presents for them.

You don't have to waste your money on a Valentine's Day card and a Christmas present. You get to save it and spend it on things you want: like wine and food.

4. You get more friend time.

When you're in a relationship, it can be hard finding the balance between friend time and girlfriend/boyfriend time. If you're single, you don't have to worry about this struggle, you get to spend all your time with your friends! Bless.

5. You get to focus on yourself.

Only having to worry about one person is a true blessing. You can devote all of your time and energy toward improving yourself and living your best life.

6. You don't have to share your food with another person.

Order that large pizza with all your favorite toppings and eat the entire thing. Just because you can.

7. You get the chance to grow as an individual.

Explore your interests, your passions, your talents. And go wherever they take you.

8. The whole bed is yours.

And it's absolutely acceptable to sprawl across it from one corner to the other.

9. You can watch whatever you want, no complaints or questions asked.

Feel like watching game show network all day? Cooking shows? A stupid reality show? Go for it.

10. You're spared all of the pointless, random arguments relationships come with.

You don't have to argue about how much wine you drank, or that outfit you wore, or where to eat. Congratulations, you are spared.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
