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.

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.
