4 Reasons Being Single In College Is Fun

You don't have to be in a relationship to have a good time.

4 Reasons Being Single In College Is Fun
Huffington Post

Everybody has different opinions on relationships. Some people desperately want them, while other people could not care less about them at all. While I lie somewhere in the middle, I can be the first one to admit that being single in college can be good. Sure, it might not be your ideal experience, but there are good things about it.

1. Homework


It's a lot easier to get homework done when you aren't trying to spend time with a significant other on top of all of the time you want to spend with your friends. Relationships are responsibilities, and having one less responsibility to manage is never a bad thing.

2. Going Out

Going out with your friends is likely to be more fun than going out with just a significant other. There's no pressure to behave a certain way when you're with your friends, and you don't feel obligated to be by one person's side the whole night.

3. Dating

Dating different people is fun, but you obviously can't do it if you're in a monogamous relationship. I'll be the first to admit that I think of swiping on Tinder as more of a game than anything, and it's a fun way to pass the time sometimes. Plus, most people on Tinder are there for fun, not relationships, so it's a good way to find a fun night out.

4. Friends

When you're single, you can spend up to 100 percent of your available social time with your friends. You don't have to plan some of it with your friends and some of it with your significant other, and then more with everyone together. It makes planning way simpler.

While there are other reasons that being single in college can be fun, these four are the most universal. However, this isn't to say that being in a relationship in college isn't fun; it's just that neither is the "right" thing to do unless it's the right thing for you.

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.
