The Single Friend

This one's for you my single friends.

The Single Friend

A third wheel by definition in the Urban Dictionary is, "One who deters the socialization of a couple, perhaps when being invited out of pitty or through a feeling of duty. The third wheel may feel uncomfortable about watching the couple canoodle on his/her sofa, but none of this is taken into consideration." And if you're lucky, you'll even get to be a fifth wheel, seventh wheel or in my case an eleventh wheel. This one's for the people who are notoriously single surrounded by all their friends and their significant others.

When you're constantly being the third-wheel

You don't need them! You are a unicycle!


When everyone (including your parents) try to set you up.

Seriously though Mom, I'll be okay.


Holidays are extremely fun, especially Valentine's Day.

Yes, I buy chocolates for myself.


Can't forget about New Years Eve!

But it's quite alright, I'd rather kiss my bottle of champagne anyways!


When you're at a party surrounded by couples.

But I'm not bitter about it or anything...


But you never really understand why you're single.

Personally I think I'm a total catch.


Being the "go-to" person for all the relationship problems.

Even though the only real problem I have is when Netflix won't load.


When people ask you what you want in a relationship.

Pizza will never hurt you.


But in the end, in the wise words of Hailee Steinfeld, "I love myself!"

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
