9 Great Advantages Of Being Single During The Holidays
What's That Smell?

The holidays are always pretty great, but they’re especially great when you’re single.

More time with your own family.

Who doesn’t love spending time with your family? Without a significant other, you’re not going to get into arguments about whose family to spend what time with, you just have all the time in the world to spend with your family.

More time to yourself.

You could spend it playing Xbox, or PS4 if you’re that kind of person, or you could spend it sleeping. Or playing with your cat. Or whatever you wanna do. It’s your time.

More food to yourself

You don’t have any limits. You have no one to impress. Eat all the food you want.

More money to yourself.

You have one less person to spend money on. Now you can spend more money on more quality gifts for your family.

Or food…

You could always just spend that extra money on food.

Less fighting.

You already have to deal with your family arguing over the election, why have one more person around to disagree on things with?

More time to sleep

Who doesn’t love to sleep?

Lower stress level.

You don’t have anyone to impress or look nice for, so you’re just yolo-ing by yourself. Look nice if you wanna look nice, or look like a hobo if that’s more your style. With no one here to complain, there’s a lot more freedom. Consequence-less freedom.

Did I say more food?

Let’s be honest, the holidays are all about the food. And let’s be even more honest, you’re gonna dive into your plate headfirst. You don’t need someone sitting there watching you devour your food, plate and all. When you’re single, you can eat like a pig. And no one cares.

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.
