There are many articles out there for you to read about what to do if you're single during the holidays, but more of them are geared to single girls. There aren't as many of these for single guysduring the holidays. Let's give them some advice for when they're single during the holidays too. Relationship advice isn't just for the ladies! Men need it just as much as women do.

1. Remember that you're not the only one.

2. Don't ever feel bad about choosing to be single.

3. Don't try to cuff a bae right now.

4. (If you're really feeling it) Go. For. It.

5. Don't be afraid to tell your family that you didn't bring a bae home with you.

6. Go to a speed-dating convention.

7. Do things you enjoy.

8. Hit the guys up for a night out.

9. Don't go on Tinder.

10. Go on a road trip.

11. Go to the gym.

14. Let the girl make a move on you.

15. Buy a new suit.

16. If not 11, eat a bunch of food.

17. Then work it all off.

18. Be a little crazy.

19. Don't be afraid to seek counseling.

20. Apply for a job that you think you can get.

21. Take that job offer (if you get it) and if it makes you happy to want to work there.

22. Let go of things that are holding you back / not worth your time.

23. Get a Netflix subscription if you don't have one.

24. Pick up a new book.

25. Watch a new TV show.

26. Dress up for yourself and nobody else.

27. Remember that you are better than any of the doubts or negative thoughts anybody has about you.

28. There's always somebody who is cuffed during cuffing season but wishes they weren't. You are still in a great spot.

29. Go to the ladies' section in the shoe store late at night (provided that it's still open) and teach yourself how to walk in heels.

30. Remind yourself of what it's like to be a confident man.

31. Shave your facial hair.

37. Never let anybody tell you how to live your life.

38. But be open to advice.

39. Embrace (hug) people when you can.

40. Remember that you don't 'need' to get Christmas gifts for anybody because you are a gift to many people.

41. Put yourself out there.

42. Do the things that most people your age are too lazy to do (e.g. laundry, cleaning the dishes, work out).

43. Don't be afraid to have close female friends. You aren't supposed to just pursue romance.

45. Remember that you are important.

46. Remember that you can have your own guilty-pleasure meal whenever you want.

47. You don't owe anybody anything.

48. Remember that you have so much to learn. Be willing to fail.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
