I love being single. Don’t get me wrong, I would also love if I was in a relationship. But for the time being, I want to enjoy being single. I’m still young. I don’t want any drama or get so overworked about being in a relationship. The only thing I have to worry about is school, and that’s already enough for me to handle.

1. You get to spend get to spend all of your money on yourself.

No more spending it on Valentine’s Day, Christmas, anniversaries or birthdays. And those new pair of shoes are now yours.

2. There’s less dates you have to worry about.

You don’t have to worry about things like anniversaries.

3. You can eat whatever you want and whenever you want.

And you won’t be judged.

4. You don’t have to shave as often.

No more cuts on your legs or remembering at the last minute.

5. You don’t have to fight over what to watch on Netflix.

You can have as many "Grey’s Anatomy" marathons as you want.

6. More time to hang with friends.

You can go out and party all you want with them.

7. You don’t have to share your food with them.

That pizza you just ordered is now all yours.

8. Not having to meet the parents.

You won’t be asked awkward questions or have to try to seem perfect.

9. No drama.

From figuring out where to eat or if that guy was flirting with you; you won’t have to deal with it at all.

10. College is already time consuming.

You spend hours and hours studying. Is there really any good time to focus fully on a relationship?

11. Because being single means you become stronger and can work on yourself.

This means you can now learn to love yourself even more and become even more amazing.

I am happy being single for now. Being in a relationship doesn’t make a person happy. Maybe in the future I will be in a nice relationship, but for now, I just want to focus on me, my future career and school.

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.
