9 Reasons Why Being a Third-Wheel Is Actually Awesome

Relationship? LOL never heard of it but I third-wheel a lot

9 Reasons Why Being a Third-Wheel Is Actually Awesome
CollegeHumor

At least once in your life, you have to third-wheel. It's a given. If you have third-wheeled, then you know that it can make you feel pretty uncomfortable and awkward sometimes. However, if you're forever alone and have a bunch of friends in relationships like me, you tend to find some positives in being a third-wheel. So, I present the greatest things about chronic third-wheeling:

1. You never have to drive anywhere

It's just kind of an unwritten rule for third-wheelers to ride backseat because driving the couple in the backseat would be super weird.

2. You always have people to go get food with

"Oh, you two are going to get pizza?! Count me in!"

3. You never actually have to look for a S.O. because they do all the work for you by trying to set you up with their friends for double dates

Even though 99% of the time it's a major disaster.

4. Free relationship advice from both a guy and a girl’s perspective

Except it's often unsolicited and unwanted, and their advice often contradicts each other so all you get out of it is giant ball of confusion.

5. You don’t have to worry about impressing them or looking good

Chances are, they don't look good either so you all just look like trash bags together, like three ugly peas in a pod.

6. You have two best friends smashed into one relationship

It gives the term "love triangle" a beautifully wonderful new meaning.

7. You literally always have somewhere to go/something to do on the weekend

Just because you're "a loner", it doesn't mean you have to be "a-lone"!

8. If they fight, it’s a reminder why you’re glad you’re single

I got 99 problems but a relationship ain't one.

9. JK, you’re pretty much not even single… because you’re basically dating both of them

Polygamy is still illegal around here, right? Asking for a friend....

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.
