Ah, the holidays—it’s the time of year where single girls everywhere get to explain to all of their relatives that, yes, they are “still single…but soooo happy.” Your grandma pats you on the back and says, “It’s OK, sweetie, I’m sure you’ll find someone someday!” Meanwhile, your older sister’s seemingly perfect long-term boyfriend of three years sits across the dining room table and gives you a sympathetic smile. In response, you fill up your glass and make a New Years resolution in your head that maybe this will be your year to lock someone down. Ladies, instead of drowning yourself in spiked eggnog this holiday season, embrace your single girl status.
Since the holidays force us to reflect on why we are single, keep in mind that college is a time to learn from bad relationships and indulge in the good ones. Even if it takes numerous disappointing guys along the way, they all teach you a little more about yourself and your self-worth. Cheers to guys that broke your heart but made you stronger as a result. Every college girl should experience these ups and downs to fully understand what kind of relationship they want as well as what they deserve. Here are some thoughts single girls have during a typical night out that teach them these vital lessons.
1. When you’re at a party and people are coupling up…
2. And then those couples start hooking up in front of you.
3. Just remember how long it took you to get ready and how hot you look.
4. Then you see your ex-hookup across the room.
5. Do not go near him…there is a reason he is an EX-hookup.
6. Well, maybe you need to stop being so picky.
7. Just kidding...you deserve the BEST.
8. Don’t waste your energy on anyone who isn’t worth your time.
9. There are no good prospects…so you call it a night.
10. But first, your best friend offers to buy pizza.
11. You don’t need boys to make you happy.
12. You finally realize that being single is not at all a bad thing.
13. Because you get to learn to love yourself.
14. But one day, you will find that special someone who completes you.
So, all you single ladies, throw your hands UP because you are strong, independent, beautiful, and don’t need a man to fulfill you...I'll cheers to that.
