(Legit) Reasons to be Single

Okay, before I begin, I know that there are some questions that need answer and explanation so here we go. First off, last week article, which was supposed to be about the program "ETA4" that I love so much was nowhere to be found. Here is what I have to say. So like, there was... aliens... and zombies, everywhere... and like, power rangers. Okay, okay, truth is, I got caught up in a lot of events and couldn't finish it so right now, it's still just a rough draft that I am so going to work on it in a very very near future. No promises though... Next, the reason why this article came before the one about ETA4 is that I sorta have writer's block and just want to write something funny and light-heart right now. Beside, I figure that people would relate to this and kinda forget about me slacking on that article (I mean, I can totally relate to this. I am so single that the hotel won't let me book a double). Without further a due, here are the (totally, most absolutely legit) reasons to be single.

1. Single, but so not ready to mingle.

I hate it when people act like being single is the worst thing. Okay, admittedly, I sometimes (okay often...but not that much...yeah...) complaint about being single but that doesn't mean you can just talk to me about how terrible being single is, and how I'm probably really lonely and going to die. Alone. Forever. Like, excuse you, I'm just not ready to be in a relationship right now. And what do you mean "lonely?" I have no time to be lonely with 18 credits and 3 jobs. Sorry "lonely" but my schedule is tight and you'll have to wait till... maybe 20 years later when I achieved everything that I ever dreamed of.

Speaking of schedule, this is why I am so not ready to be in a relationship. I'm sorry, you're hell of a cute but I just don't have time to go on dates. My dates are already booked with my tutors, instructors, and adviser. Why? Because I have 18 credits and a date, with destiny, the one where I become successful so ciao!

2. I am waiting for the right person.

As you can see, I am a busy, hardworking person who has been slacking on an article for 2 weeks. Therefore, time is precious to me. I can't just go out and date anybody that I find attractive. I mean, I'm not Ted from "How I met your mother." I don't have 9 years to just confess my undying love to a random strangers in New York City (most certainly do not want to torture my kid(s) with a 9 seasons non-stop marathon either). Thus, I would rather take my time on other important aspects of life, like anime and Netflix for instant!

Ted, I love you a lot but you seriously need to chill. What do you think this is? The Bachelor?

Also, think about it, how many of your exes are psychos or secretly a serial killer? Imagine you're watching the new when suddenly your ex's name pops up, being the main suspect of a serious incident. Like, hey kids, I used to date that creepy kidnapper clown... ah good memories...

3. I am in a committed relationship... with myself.

I mean, I have many nice times with myself. I give me treats, games, books and many nice things without spoiling myself too much. Also, I kinda stuck with me so break up is not a viable option either, which is why it's best to just try and value myself. After all, how can you love someone if you don't love yourself? And loving myself means that I respect me enough to wait for the best person, and to spend time doing the things I love. Love yourself enough to be okay with being single, until it is better to be mingle.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
