Being Single Is Much Better Than Settling

The single life is not so bad.

Relationships. It is a scary thing in today's world. At least, I think so anyways.

I have had my heart broken a few times before. However, I have always found a way to heal. Let me tell you though, the getting over it process is not something I would wish on my worst enemy.

As my mom always says, "You will be 'in love' plenty of times before you find the right one." Boy is she right!

The reason I emphasized 'in love' is because some of us are so blinded by a person that we look pass the negative things they do.

It takes losing that person to realize we were never really in love.

With that said, I have recently enjoyed being single. It has allowed me to be more stress free and focus on myself for a change.

I will say, I have been on dates since my previous relationship.

I love meeting new people and making new friends. I have found that going on dates has been a way to meet people and help me see who is all out there.

With that exception, I am not one to just settle for anything or anyone.

The past year of being single has made me realize that being in a relationship keeps things exciting.

You always have a 24/7 person who is down for whatever.

However, being single has made me realize what I really, truly am looking for in someone.

I guess what I am trying to say is don't settle.

You might be tired of being single and want the type of relationship that all of these other couples around you have.

In reality, you need to understand that your 'perfect' someone comes along when you least expect it.

Although you might be tired of waiting, I can promise you it will be so much more worth it in the end.

If you feel that you click with someone after just one date, then give it a try! You never really know until you do.

However, if you are not feeling it from the start, don't try to force those feelings in hopes that something more comes from it.

Even if he seems is the sweetest boy on the face of the earth, some people just have different interests.

Enjoy the single life and let loose. Your 'perfect' person will come along soon!

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
