16 Things You Can Do Instead Of Worrying About A Boy

Boys in college are typically more interested in having fun rather than settling down. While I'm the type of girl who is looking for a long-lasting love, every boy that I find seem to want more of a fling. But you know what, if you're like me and you feel like you're worried about finding a worthwhile boy, here is a list of things you can focus your energy on instead of boys.

1. Go on a bike ride.

Literally biking is SO FUN!

2. Get lunch with friends.

Giphy

Call up some of your best friends and spend the afternoon together! Take cute pictures while you're all dressed up and the sun is shining so you can post them and he can eat his heart out, you're welcome.

3. Spend time with your sisters.

Giphy

Your sisters are there to support and love you! Go spend some time with them!

4. Exercise.

Giphy

Exercising doesn't just tone up your body, it also cleanses your mind and gives you a more positive mood change! Exercising is so good for you in so many ways!

5. Join a club.

Giphy

Getting involved is a great way to maximize your time and an amazing opportunity to make new friends! I have gotten myself involved in Student Government, Greek Life, and so many more organizations and I have never looked back!

6. Write.

Giphy

I've always found writing out how I'm feeling or what I am thinking about to be very therapeutic!

7. Read a book.

Giphy

BOOKS ROCK!!! HUFFLEPUFF FOREVER!!!

8. Pet a dog.

Giphy

A dog will love you just for being you! Dogs show you what true love really feels like by getting excited when they meet you and giving you little kisses when you're near them. Dogs are honestly sooooo much better than boys. #DogMom4Life

9. Start binge-watching a new show.

Giphy

One time I got ghosted by this guy I really liked and to help ease the pain and get my mind off of him, I binge watched How I Met Your Mother and now it's my favorite show!

10. Eat chicken nuggets.

Giphy

Chicken nuggets don't care if you aren't wearing makeup while you're with them and chicken nuggets will give you that warm feeling inside that a man won't.

11. Do some karaoke.

Giphy

There's nothing like getting your emotions out like singing Carrie Underwood at the top of your lungs!

12. Go shopping.

Giphy

Retail therapy always helps! ;)

13. Change your hair.

Giphy

Getting a haircut or a color change makes you feel like a new person and can really boost your self esteem!

14. Get a job.

Giphy

This probably sounds like the least fun thing to do on this list but actually I think it's a good way to pass the time. No phone, making new friends, and you're getting paid for it!

15. Watch a romcom.

Giphy

Dirty Dancing and How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days have always been my go-to movies.

16. Treat yo self to a night out.

Giphy

I always enjoy getting all dolled up to go to a fancy restaurant, so take yourself out on a nice date! It's a great way of showing appreciation and love for yourself rather than relying on someone else to do that for you.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
