You are single. Make the most out of it! It's not because you don't deserve someone, it means no one deserves you.

"Oh, why am I alone?"

"I wish I had a great guy."

"Why is everyone in a relationship besides me?"

These are some of the questions you have probably asked yourself while you sit there looking through your Facebook, looking at all of your friends on dates and having a great ole time! Do you think being in a relationship is just going to make you happy? NEWS FLASH: People in relationships sometimes aren't always happy in them and they wish they could be in your position. It's okay to be single because...

You Can Do Whatever You Want - Now, don't get me wrong. Being in a relationship isn't a prison sentence. You can go to that party with your friends and and dance with whoever you want, be with anyone you want and not feel like you are doing something wrong.

You Find Yourself - Before you can even consider getting into a relationship, you have to be able to truly love yourself. Not in a conceited way thinking you are better than everyone on the earth, but in the way that lets you be comfortable in your own skin. Maybe you aren't as tall as everyone else (or in my case, taller than everyone else.) You may not be at the weight you want to be at, or you believe you are attractive. Or maybe it's a more of an "inner" problem. You have to take time in being single to see what you absolutely love yourself. OK, so, maybe you don't look as good as Scarlett Johansson, Not all of us can. But what you can be is that loves who they are even through their imperfections. Trust me. Confidence can be sexy.

Money is Saved - Dates are expensive. Without a significant other, you can do whatever you want with your money! Whether it be buy that game consul you've always wanted, or going across the world and exploring. Yeah, it would be awesome to have someone along for the adventure with you, however you have friends for that. And if you don't have friends, well it's time that you start making them.

If You Want To Go On Dates, You Can! - You want to take that guy/girl that you met at your friend's party on a date? You can! Being single allows you to go on as many dates as you want to with as many people as you want to. If something serious comes out of it, awesome. If not, on to the next one. Dates are enjoyable and always have a different outcome. Are you thinking "How am I going to go on these dates?" Well they aren't going to flock to you. So get out there, meet them and talk to them. Go on as many dates as you want and meet new, interesting people!

Being single isn't a bad thing - Neither is being in a relationship. Having someone you can be with the nights you want to lay in bed and cuddle and watch Netflix is an awesome thing to have. However, it isn't the end of the world when you don't have that person yet. Or if you don't have that person ever.That just means more pizza and ice cream for you!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
