14 Reasons Being Single Is Pretty Awesome

If you rang in the New Year without a New Year's kiss, I'm here to tell you that it's OK. Being single is actually pretty rewarding. If you don't believe me, here's a list of reasons why...

1. You can eat whatever you want, whenever you want. And the best part is that no one will judge you.

2. You get to lie in the middle of the bed. And the covers are all yours.

3. Shaving is optional. Enough said.

4. You can watch whatever you want on Netflix for however long you want. Also, you no longer have to pretend to be into shows you don't care about. Your Netflix cue is all yours.

5. Sharing food isn't a thing.

6. You don't have to work your schedule around anyone else.

7. You can go to bed whenever you want and not worry about waking anyone up.

8. You experience way less stress during Halloween because you don't have to dress in typical couples costumes.

9. Pants are optional when you're home.

10. You can hang out with anyone you want and don't have to explain yourself.

11. You can go on as many casual dates as you want.

12. And there's no anxiety about your future together.

13. There's no awkward beginning of a relationship... because there is no relationship.

14. That $50 you could be spending on Valentine's gifts goes straight to the "going-out-on-weekends budget."

So now, you can kiss zero people this new year, or as many as you want. Cheers to the New Year and being single.

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.
