The Pros Of Being In A Relationship VS. Being Single
JustLikeThat

You ever just wake up one day and think "Man, I love being single"? or "I would really like to be in a relationship"? It's okay to feel that way and I speak for myself when I say that there is nothing wrong with being single or in a relationship. Here are the pros of being in a relationship and being single.

Being in a relationship:

PRO: You will always have company. When you are in a relationship you will always have someone to call and to hang out with so you will not feel so lonely.

PRO: Being in a relationship helps improve your self-esteem. When your partner makes you feel good about yourself it is definitely a bonus to your ego which in turn improves your overall life.

PRO: Your lifespan will increase. There is substantial evidence proving that being in a long-term relationship will reduce your anxiety and blood pressure therefore, adding more years to your life.

PRO: You can be rolling in the cash. It is true that long-term and married couples are wealthier because the sharing of two incomes while divorced and single adults acquire less accumulation.

PRO: Being taken care of is a huge factor in relationships. The thing is, not everyone is equal in a relationship depending on personality differences so either the woman or the man will always be the one to make sure their partner is taken care of physically and emotionally.

PRO: The intimacy of another person beside you whether it is sex or just sitting with your special someone by the fire watching re-runs of "Supernatural" is a major pro.

PRO: Someone will be around to always help out. If you need help moving some furniture around or need a ride because you do not have transportation then that is a plus.

Being Single:

PRO: You can do whatever you want without having to consult with your partner first. If you want to go on a trip with your best buds you wont have to think about staying. Girls: If you want to watch The Bachelor without hearing him complain you can. Guys: You can watch ESPN whenever you want!

PRO: You have the power to weigh your options. If you want to date a few guys a week go ahead, no judgement. If you feel like flirting with the valet or the bartender go for it and have a little fun.

PRO: Being single is a great time to focus more on your goals. What you want in life, career goals and just doing what makes you happy before that full commit.

PRO: You can wear what you want! Have you ever been in a relationship and worried that you didn't have panties to match your bras. Or have you either thought to yourself that you do not feel like shaving or waxing today and you just want to skip it? Well, you can and no one will care.

PRO: You get the whole bed to yourself. Some days you just want to spread out and sleep alone. No one wants to worry about a partner sleeping over, stealing the covers, hogging the bed, and snoring.

There you have it. You decide what you are in the mood for. Do you feel like diving into a relationship or enjoying the single life?

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.
