Singleness isn't a bad thing.

So often being content with singleness is something that can have a weird stigma. In a world where being in a relationship is so highly expected, singleness can be looked at in a bad view. There is nothing wrong with either of those options. Whether you are in a relationship, single, or wherever you are in life, it is perfectly fine. Especially when we have just started the new school semester and "Ring by Spring" is just around the corner.

Let's be real, saying that you are content with being single is something that can be a really weird feeling, especially when you've been single for awhile. I just went through this, but seriously, being content with singleness is such a beautiful thing. There are so many things that you can experience when you are single, especially a wonderful relationship with God.

So often we worry about all things and our focus can be elsewhere, but being single allows for some wonderful adventures with God. Personally, I have a mission trip that I am going on over summer and I am so excited to just spend all of that with God and experiencing that with him and not having to worry about leaving behind a relationship is going to be such a wonderful experience. Now don't get me wrong, being in a relationship can be just as fun and amazing, but that is another story.

Another thing with being content is the joy that can come from it. Worrying about whether a relationship is right around the corner or who the guy is going to be or trying too hard for someone who just wants to be friends is so common. All of it doesn't matter because you're good with where you are at. In addition to this, you can gain so much joy in seeing your friends in a relationship without that small voice wishing you were in one too.

Overall, singleness is great; it is weird when you first experience that contentment, but in the end, it is a wonderful stage of life. No matter what you feel about relationships, being content in anything is a really cool experience because you aren't trying to get more than you need. Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with striving for things in life and working towards goals but don't let that consume you.

Go have fun, try new things, enjoy this period of contentment with singleness that you are in because hopefully, you won't have to go through this once you have entered into a relationship. It's like when people tell you that you only get the college experience once. Enjoy where you are and go on an adventure. One can't find as many adventures if they never go out and explore.

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.
