We all dream of that guy who will hold us while we cry, laugh at our stupid jokes, and spoil us on every holiday and anniversary - and there’s nothing wrong with having this fantasy. There’s nothing wrong with thinking about how your life could be better with a guy, and you definitely are not alone in doing it. But I’m gonna list out to you why you are (or could be) happier now, single, than in a relationship.

1. You have no commitments

No weekly date-nights, no duty to tend to another person’s feelings, nada. It’s all about YOU.

2. You see your girlfriends WAY more

And be honest, you have more fun with them anyway.

3. There’s no pressure to look good all the time

No makeup, no jeans, no combing of the hair, no problem. Let your gross, nasty self-free.

4. Fewer pregnancy scares

Notice how I said FEWER and not ZERO if you’re still freaking in the streets then there’s still a chance sweetie, just a smaller one.

5. Landscaping is optional

If fewer hands are entering the cookie jar, then why can’t the cookie jar grow a carpet.

6. You never have to share your food

You never were gonna do this anyway, now you don’t have to feel guilty about your selfish eating habits.

7. You don’t have to fake liking that Netflix shows that makes you wanna gauge your eyes out

And not only Netflix, any movie you go see is your choice too.

8. Christmas is a whole lot cheaper

Who doesn’t want a few more dollars in their pocket?

9. Freedom at a frat party

Four guys in one night? Have at it, hunny.

10. Less drama

One less person in your life to argue with.

11. No In-Laws to impress

Three fewer people to impress and prove yourself to even though you had nothing to prove in the first place.

12. NO FORTNITE

That’s right, you’re no longer number to in a man’s life.

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.
