In college, having a boyfriend is fun and all, and it’s really great if you find the right person who can be your best friend and your boyfriend, and loves you 100 percent. But, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being single, and sometimes being independent and not having to rely or worry about someone else is an awesome feeling too, especially in college when you have 9,000 things to worry about everyday. So, ladies, when you’re feelin’ a little lonely, or think for a second that you are not good enough for someone, here is a list of things that are better than a boyfriend.
1. Chipotle
Chipotle will always be there for you. Even if you’re having a bad night, or you think that the whole world is against you, it can be just a short drive away. Eating Chipotle gives you all of the satisfaction that you could be looking for, and it will always be a constant in your life. There are so many options so you never have to get bored. Also, GUAC.
2. Puppies
Can we be honest for a second? Can anyone else give you that warm fuzzy feeling in your stomach when you see a puppy or you see a puppy video on Facebook? Boys can be pretty easy to resist, but when you see a cute puppy there is no way that you are just going to walk away from that. Puppies give unconditional love, and they never get tired of you wanting their attention because they want just as much as you. Pet a dog and your day gets 1000 times better… can you say the same thing about a boyfriend?
3. Naps
If you have a bad day, take a nap. If you don’t want to think about something, take a nap. Naps have the perfect way of making you feel refreshed, or the perfect way to avoid priorities. I love a good nap, and it’s an amazing feeling when you lay down after a long day just to sleep all your worries off. Boyfriends are cool, but naps make everyday a little better.
4. New Makeup
Buying makeup is one of the most difficult yet exciting processes in life, but once you find that new eye shadow palette, or that new lip color your life is changed. Especially if it is some nice makeup that you spent hours in Sephora just to find. New makeup is like opening the door to an even prettier you… lets think about it, a boyfriend or a Anastasia contour kit?
5. Shopping
Getting new clothes, or shoes, or even a new bikini can you make you feel like a whole new person. Wearing your new clothes for the first time makes your confidence level shoot up, and showing it off is one of the best parts. The compliments that come with your cute new clothes are definitely a bonus too. No one can deny a little retail therapy.
6. Girls Nights
Nothing compares to a night out with your best girl friends, AM I RIGHT, LADIES? You don’t have to worry about turning around and seeing the boy who you are with flirting with someone else, and you can just dance and have fun, without a care in the world. Your girl friends don’t care about how silly you are, and they will be your cheerleaders when you want to get a little flirty. A night out with your girlfriends is incomparable to nights out with anyone else, and they’ll always have your back or hold up your hair.
7. Getting Your Hair Done
Going to the salon and getting your hair done, whether it’s getting a haircut or getting your roots fixed is one of the most satisfying feelings in the world. Once your hairdresser is finished blow drying your hair and you look at yourself in the mirror at your new look, it can make you feel so much better about yourself. The process of treating yourself to getting your hair done, and the feeling afterwards is like no other that a boyfriend could give you…just sayin’.
Of course I’m not saying that boyfriends are awful and you should never have one. But for the ladies that feel a little down about being single, or are thinking badly about themselves because they’re not in a relationship or don’t have anyone to talk to, these are some things that will give you the same satisfaction, if not more.
