The holidays can be a rough time for singles. Everyone around you is kissing under the mistletoe while you’re kissing the eggnog your mom made for you. Not to worry, though. Buddy the ELF understands what you’re going through and he is here to put some light into your single life!

First off, it’s December. December is supposed to be the most cheerful month of the year!


You get invited to your first holiday party, you're so excited to spread all of the Holiday cheer. Then you come in, what do you see?


You're pretty much the only one without a date.


Now...everyone around you is not only coupled up...but...everyone is now kissing under the mistletoe.


What do you do? Be super hard on yourself because there is probably a reason why you're dateless.



Then you realize, maybe you should make the best of the situation and try to have fun with that one other friend who is single.



Oh yeah, and the table of food, that's ALL you.


Plus, that holiday wine and tequila doesn't look so bad either.


Until, you have a bit too much of it.


Now, your single friend is making out with someone.


Once you have officially lost all hope in your single life, you look across the room and there is another miserable person.


You get to talking and now you're both kissing under the mistletoe.


The night has officially ended, and you're so happy you didn't end up alone the WHOLE time.


You wake up the next morning, with a hangover that hit you a bit too hard.


Then you remember that you met someone as miserable as you last night.


You wait for their call, checking your phone every five seconds.



Now you're thinking that this was all supposed to happen. This was the reason you went to that party, to meet another miserable single person!


Seriously, you guys really hit it off.


You even start thinking about your next date.


Then, they don't call.



You drink some more alcohol so you can stop looking at your phone, cuz a watched pot never boils.


Of course, now you're drunk and sad again because you're single and they didn't call. You start thinking it's you.


As soon as you realize that you're going to be forever alone, YOU GET A CALL! AND GUESS WHO IT IS!


You run to the phone like:


You just think about how perfect this is.


Just to realize that they aren't at all what you thought.


Back to square one and you remember you're still single.


And you have another Christmas party tomorrow.


No date either.


But be happy because it's the holidays!


And it's the best time to be single, you know why? Because there is no need to spend money on anybody.


So go to that next party with a smile on your face.


Take every situation that comes your way, positively!


And remember, there is always next holiday season to meet somebody new.


Somebody who will make you forget all of the holidays you spent alone.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
