Let's get one thing straight, being single is not the worst thing in the world, but apparently, some of you can't be without a significant other. I'm here to tell you why it isn't bad to be single because, newsflash, you don't need a relationship to be happy.

1. You don't have to worry about making sure you reply to someone

Texting takes A LOT of time, and so do phone calls... No partner, no problem!!

2. You can basically do whatever you want

I'm not saying go and sleep with the entire world, but you can talk and meet as many people as you want. You don't have to worry about hurting your S.O. by flirting or talking to anyone else.

3. You don't have to worry about anyone getting mad at you

Fighting with anyone sucks, but fighting with your significant other is worse, especially if what the fight about is 'stupid' to the other person, they don't care.

4. You can work on yourself

You can concentrate on improving yourself mentally and physically, both of these are important to maintain in your body. Compromise is important and all but you have the freedom to figure out what you really want for yourself and go out and live it.

5. You can sleep peacefully and quietly

Don't like being kicked in the middle of the night or having no covers??? No worries, you're single!!!

6. You can stay in touch with friends

These major life decisions require the sacrifice of free time and personal freedom. It's hard to find the time to do much when you have a partner to consider. If you aren't ready for such a commitment, then singlehood might be for you.

7. You can avoid settling for a bad match

It's easy to settle for a bad match when you're feeling lonely, don't let the devil stray you away.

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.
