Who Said "Single Sucks?"
TheStyleSymphony

The word, single, not a status, it is merely a description of someone who is perfectly content with their life and enjoy living by themselves. Everyone seems to correlate single and lonely, like they are the same thing. Society has forced the idea of needing to be with someone, so far back in our minds, that it makes us stay in unhealthy relationships. For instance, "The Notebook," teaches us that we are supposed to fall in love, thus we will live happily ever after. Disney movies, also portray this life where girls change everything about themselves, just to be with a guy. We are also socially pressured to date, then we end up getting in another relationship, just after the other one ended.

1. No one takes relationships serious. I'm serious about the future.

You begin to hear more and more stories of individuals having trust issues because their partner is unfaithful. That is not always the case, some people just don't take anything serious. It really seems like people are interested in just casual hookups and not invested in their future, but that is okay.


2. I am an independent woman, who does not need a man.

I am 100% happy and content with just being by myself. I do not need anyone by my side. I already have enough family and friend support. I can still do anything a "typical" man can do. I also love cats, so that's enough for me to be comfortable.

Also, I really get tired of hearing a friend come up and say "Hey I saw *ex-bf's name* with another girl today."


3. I am always trying to achieve goals.

I really do not have time to deal with someone who is going to distract me. Sorry. Being single means you do not have to plan everything around someone else.

4. I have really high standards. I do not have time for drama either. I have nothing against relationships, nor am I a prude.


5. There's a reason why I am single.

One day, you will find Mr. Right and everything will begin to make sense. Do not work on your personality or other characteristics for others. Let's face it, you are always going to have yourself, so invest your time in YOU. Once you know your self worth, you will always have the right people around you.

To all you single ladies out there, for now enjoy being alone. Be adventurous. Live your life. Enjoy the little things in life. Do not feel like you need someone in life to give you happiness. Accomplish your goals. Do things you have always wanted to do. Be happy. Let things happen how and when they are meant to. The right person will come along when the time is right.

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.

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.
