11 Reasons Why You Can't Let Go Of The Single Life (Because It's Pretty Awesome)

What every girl considers before dating...

1. Being single is pretty amazing.

Getting free reign of Netflix and being your own captain of where to go, what to do, how to dress? All the exclusiveness of being single...freedom is all yours! Who would want to be in a relationship?!

2. You can focus on yourself.

When you're single, you know that all that matters in the world is you. There’s nothing more important on earth than the relationship between you and your favorite ice cream fudge.


3. Heck, you've got no time.

Having a boyfriend could literally cost you more than 24 hours a day. You know life has been pretty rough with your normal schedule of sleeping, Facebooking and dealing with the real-life battle.


4. You LOVE being wild, single and free!

You can’t trade those moments with your girlfriends with anything! With them, you guys could rock the world out of anything from shopping sprees to hot bikini ladies together! The thought of replacing them with a guy...eh...

5. You're totally independent.

You know you don’t need a man backing you up or reminding you that you are beautiful (because you know that you are beautiful a.k.a awesome).

6. You like to perfect things.

Before a relationship, everything has to fall in the right place. Who would want to build a relationship out of drama and failure? Your New Year’s goal has to be accomplished, your friends have to approve him and your life has to be in an optimum stage. Only then you could make a relationship grow perfectly.

7. You've been single forever.

You just don’t get the idea of how you could need a man ever in your life.

8. You are now way stronger than before.

Before when you first had your break up. You have undergone this traumatic process of Taylor’s We-Are-Never-Getting-Back-together-mantra chanting stage to the Shake-It-Off phase now. After hitting life's rock bottom, you eventually leveled up to the new you who will never let guys be mean to you ever again.

From this...

To that:

9. Sometimes it can be lonely though

That cute post with your friend’s new bae? Meh. You don’t need one. You can be alone and have 100 times cooler selfies than that.

10. You've gained the pearls of wisdom.

Nothing is better than having hindsight. Thanks to your previous ex, you’ve learned the typical fake jerky moves of men. God save the next man who tries to repeat that.

11. You are built for the real one.

For some, it could just be a rebound or a fling but for you, a relationship is just a title. You only give your heart to the right one — someone who truly cares about you and accepts who are are. You believe in true love and you deserve it.

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.
