Let's face it...

You. Are. Alone.

Or, at least, that's what you've tricked yourself into believing due to the constant reminders of this seemingly depressing reality. Couples, couples everywhere. They surround you, kissing, holding hands, or just laughing and enjoying each other's company. Cute couple pictures pop up everywhere on all your friend's social media feeds as you scroll through at home, feeling as though you have no life, and begrudgingly hit the "like" button (#relationshipgoals).

But you don't have to feel this way. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being single! In fact, there are many benefits to living the single life and I have listed ten of them below.

1. You don't have to worry about someone else.

You're your own person and you make your own decisions!

2. You don't always have to dress to impress.

Jeans or sweatpants and a sweatshirt are always the perfect choice.

3. You don't have to ever feel jealous.


You don't have to worry if someone's hitting on your significant other because you don't have a significant other and you don't need to worry about anyone cheating on you or breaking your heart.

4. You get to spend more time with your BFFs.


And there's not another person competing for your attention.


5. You can date as many people as you want.

You can get to know what you like in a significant other without being bound to just one person who can possible not be the right one for you.


6. You don't have to share your food.


It's all yours to enjoy.


7. You can focus on important things.

You can concentrate on school or your job without having to worry about spending time with someone else.


8. You don't have to worry about having friends of the opposite gender.


And you especially don't have to worry about your significant other complaining about it. There's no jealousy on their part because they're nonexistent.


9. Choices like college or what you can wear is on you.

It's your life and your choice and there's no one there to complain about those choices.


10. You have your own alone time.

...and you're perfectly okay with that! You don't need someone else to complete you. You're comfortable being by yourself at times and you find confidence without someone by your side.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
