42 Things Better Than A Boyfriend

Feeling down about being single? There is NO reason to with all of the little things happening in life. There are so many things that are better than having a boyfriend that make going boyfriend-less the new best thing. Here are 42 things you can celebrate about your single life.

1. A Dog

No boy will ever be able to replace the joy one gets from a new puppy.

2. New Lipstick

And no one to smear it.

3. Netflix Series

Being able to start a series and NOT have to wait for your significant other to watch the next episode.

4. Pizza

This large pepperoni with stuffed crust is not sharing size sorry.

5. Soft Blankets

And not having to share them with anyone.

6. $.54

If you do the math, every time a woman shaves their legs with a razor, it totals out to about $.54. That will add up FAST when you can finally stop shaving every other day.

7. Scented Candles

Because no guy smells as good as a Miami Sunrise.

8. Bubble Baths

The most relaxing and comforting activity.

9. Starbucks

Without buying the obligatory frappe for your other half.

10. A Cat

Even though they are just as attention seeking as a boyfriend.

11. Coupons

A boy can't save you $2.50 on your next purchase.

12. Lava Lamps

You never get bored of looking at a lava lamp, trust me.

13. Fuzzy socks

Nothing beats the warmth and comfort they provide.

14. Listening to your favorite song

Headphones are made for ONE pair of ears at a time.

15. Grey's Anatomy

All of the emotional rollercoaster of a relationship in one tv series.

16. Peanut Butter

You don't need anything judging the amount of spoonfuls you can eat by yourself.

17. Spending Time With Mom

Honestly, no one will ever compare to loving and comforting you like mom.

18. Getting An A On A Test

After a night of cramming, nothing feels more rewarding.

19. A New Victoria's Secret Bra

You do NOT need a man to make you feel sexy.

20. Taking A Perfect Selfie

Without a boy to ruin how good you look.

21. Homemade Bread

This takes time (about the length of a movie date...), but so worth the effort.

22. Sleeping In

No alarm, no problems.

23. A Big Paycheck

Spending long hours at the pet store, or the nursing home, or behind the cash register sure have their benefits.

24. The Gym

Feel good about yourself AND get a free pass to check out the cutie on the treadmill.

25. Makeup Tutorials

No guy would sit through three minutes of "the perfect winged eyeliner".

26. Pancakes

It's hard to rank anything higher than the greatest breakfast food....

27. Bacon

... Except for this one.

28. Oversized Flannels

You can shop in the men's section for YOU for a change.

29. Church

Not only for Sunday mornings, but anytime you're feeling like you're alone.

30. Justin Bieber

You can't talk about your future as Mrs. Bieber to your current boyfriend anyways.

31. Naps

Midday naps are for you and you only.

32. Pink Moscato

A bottle of pink wine with your ladies, there is nothing better.

33. RomComs

Even though we know boys secretly love them...

34. Hiking

You can't beat the open air and solace from the top of a mountain.

35. Messy Buns

It's all about convenience and comfort.

36. Walks At Night

A good time to look up at the stars and appreciate everything life has to offer.

37. Traveling

You can still enjoy Paris without a cliche kissing pic by the Eiffel Tower.

38. Coloring Books For Adults

Bring out the child in you!

39. Baking

And hog the whole pan of brownies for yourself with NO shame.

40. First Snow Fall

There is not much more beautiful than a perfectly white blanket of snow.

41. Freshly Fallen Leaves

And jumping right into a giant pile of them.

42. Girls Night

Let's be real, absolutely nothing compares to the time spent with our girls.

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.
