You don't joke around about pizza being your S.O. because, let's be honest, you don't want (need) one.

12 Signs You're Single and Slightly, Absolutely Okay With It
Quote Fancy

Dating is cool, I guess. I'm sure relationships are also quality, but being single is pretty neat. There comes a time when you realize the true joys of being single are better than the stereotypical slump of sadness our generation has turned it into. Here's 12 signs that you're single and rocking every second of it.

1) You feel cool saying you're a strong, confident, independent person and actually meaning and believing it.

2) You get a rush of excitement going to a restaurant and seeing "perfect for sharing" and knowing you can get it all for yourself.

3) Speaking of food, you think it's a blessing when your take out Chinese comes with multiple fortune cookies, because yum more fortune cookies for you!

4) When you start looking at plane tickets and travel ideas, and dance with joy at having to change the "2 adults" to 1. Cheaper seat here I come!

5) Whenever you see a "relationship goals" post you slightly cringe because hard pass on the feels.

6) You find a sense of relief come any major present giving holiday because you don't have to buy another person a gift. Life is hard when you're broke, it's easier though when you don't have another body to buy for.

7) You get excited to be CatDog with your friend for Halloween more than you slump about not being a cute couple costume.

8) The reason you bought a Double Nester Eno was to fit your backpack, snacks and you in it. Not another body, except maybe a dog. Dog can join.

9) Being a third-wheel has become your favorite part of a relationship since you can bounce out at anytime.

10) You don't look at Valentine's Day as a day to mope around, it's a day you get all excited about because you love telling your friends and fam you adore them. Plus it's the eve of heavily reduced priced candy, what a time to be alive.

11) When you imagine spontaneous adventures, it's heading to a picnic by the local lake or going to a museum by yourself. Not some trip that has to go into consideration for another.

12) You love that your Insta and other social media platforms are chock full of you thriving in life as an independent person.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
