Reasons Why Being Single Isn't That Bad

Being single is not as bad as people make it seem. Relationships can be draining and can become extremely boring. There are a lot of ways you can embrace not being "taken." Here are some reasons why being single is not that much of a pain!

You have the entire bed to yourself. Sharing a bed can seriously be so annoying. Someone always takes 80 percent of the blanket and someone is always putting their knee in the other person's back. Living the single life allows you to have the whole bed to yourself. So stretch your body across the mattress and enjoy having 100 percent of your blanket!

You don't have to worry about someone always watching you. When someone is constantly watching you, you feel like you can not do anything! You feel like you can't go out with friends or even use the bathroom without them watching. You can barely post what you want on social media anymore. Being single allows you to breathe without someone constantly watching.

You don't have to worry about what they're doing. Worrying about other people can be so draining. So many thoughts go through your head and you tend to overthink a situation. When you're single the only person you have to worry about is yourself and what's better than that?


You can eat whatever you want and it's all yours. What is sharing food? Why ask the question "What do you want to eat?" When you're single you can pig out on anything you want.

You're free to do anything you want. If you want to go to a party, then go! If you want to do something spontaneous, do it! Nobody is able to tell you no (unless you still live at home, then your parents can).

More time with your girls. There's nothing like spending time with the ladies! When you're single you can have ladies night as much as you want without hearing "why are you always with the girls?" Besides, what guy wants to have girl talk anyways.

Holidays are easy to plan. When you're single, you do not have to pick and choose whose family you're going to be with during the holidays. This saves you stress and your parents a possible heartbreak.


You get to spend time loving and getting to know yourself. The quote above is extremely accurate. We must love ourselves before we can start loving someone else or even before someone else can love us. Being single allows us to get to know ourselves.

You're independent. You can gain independence when you are single. Relying on other people may seem okay at the moment but when things go downhill that stuff is no longer yours. So get everything you want yourself and embrace your independence!

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.
