15 Reasons To Love Being Single

Every memory I have from high school includes my friends having a significant other while I end up being a third wheel. If I invited my best friend to the movie, I somehow invited her boyfriend. Don't get me wrong; I don't dislike people in relationships. But sometimes you just need some girl time away from the guys. It seems like everywhere I look there is someone in a relationship and good for them, but here are some of the best things about not being in a relationship.

1. No shaving

Skipping a few days here and there is no problem when the only person who touches your legs is you and you just wanna take a quick shower.

2. Binge-watching Netflix

Being single means you can watch what you want when you want without someone else butting in. Eight straight hours of "Supernatural"? No problem.

3. Clothing is optional at home

After a long day, there is no better feeling than taking off your pants. Enjoy it while you can.

4. Experimenting with food

If you wanna eat a burger with honey or some combination of food, eat away without care.

5. More cats = more fun

Let's begin this transition to crazy cat lady early.

6. Saving money

But in reality, you're gonna spend it elsewhere, either on clothing, gas, or food.

7. Sleeping in on the weekend

No significant other means more time to sleep and no one to wake you up.

8. Eating what you want when you want

There's always that one day when you're still hungry no matter how much you eat so eat away.

9. No drama or random fights

I may not have these with a significant other but I definitely have them with my roommates and my mother. Not always avoidable, and it's typically over who didn't put the new roll of toilet paper on the roll.

10. No awkward conversation starters

Unless you're planning on going on dates, there will be no awkwardly sitting across from someone else and not knowing what to say. If I wanted to stare at a wall, I would have stayed at home.

11. A day off really means a day off

You can relax instead of rushing around to go out and be with someone (unless that's what you want to do). I like reading a book or sleeping.

12. Leaving your apartment or room a mess

I somehow always end up running behind at least one day during the week because I lost track of time and clothes end up on my floor with all the other collections of items I've pushed off my desk and bed and I don't care because I'm proud of my mess and it's organized in some weird way.

13. Eating a whole pizza

Not going to lie. I've come close to eating a whole pizza myself before.

14. You are committed to one person: yourself

Take this single time to pamper yourself and enjoy the no-strings-attached lifestyle.

15. Blasting "Single Ladies"

You are only single for a period of your life, so blast this while it's true and release your inner Beyonce.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
