Is it really that bad?

The Pros And Cons Of Being Single During The Holiday Season
Love Sujeiry

Surprise, surprise. It's the holiday season, and I'm single, again. But, is this really a bad thing? I've created a pros and cons list to assist me in this assessment, and here is what I have come-up with.

Pro: You don't have to worry if your gift will please your significant other.

Con: You won't receive gift(s) from a very special person.

Pro: You'll save money.

Con: You won't have anyone to snuggle/cuddle with next to the fire.

Pro: More holiday food for you.

Con: When any of your relatives ask if you're dating, you will always be triggered.

Pro: You don't have to worry about impressing your significant other's parents.

Con: Not being able to do fun activities with that special person.

Pro/Con: Going to holiday parties alone.

Pro: You can spend your break from work/school by doing whatever the hell you want.

Based on this, I believe that it is better to be single for the holiday season. Sure, you may feel lonelier; however, you can save money, eat more food, and do you. Who wouldn't want that?

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.
