Some people think being without a significant other makes them a complete loner, but I am here to tell you there is so many good attributes that come with being single! Here are a few great benefits of the riding solo life.

Time for Yourself

Every person needs time to enjoy life on their own. This is the point where you can reach out and discover your own personality. You get to find out the things that make you happy and also find out the things that really tick you off. You get to do anything you want and make decisions only for yourself.

Get to Spend More Time With Your Friends

Usually if you gain a significant other, you have to spend less time with your fun and kooky friends. If you are single, you can pretty much spend as much time as you want with them. You do not have to worry about trying to please both parties or being fought over.

You’re Not Tied Down

Being single means you are on the market right? This means you can go out on a Friday night and run into an attractive person, and you can totally flirt with him. Without the strings attached, you are free to just get out and be your crazy self around anyone. You also get to meet a variety of people, which in return, gives you an opportunity to find out what kind of people you mesh with well.

You Don’t Have to Shave

That’s right, you see it. You do not really have anyone you want to impress. So, who cares if you have hairy body parts? No one, you can feel free to rock the nasty unkempt beard or flaunt the prickly cactus legs. Either way, it is ultimately whatever makes you comfortable.

You Can Wear Anything You Want

Like stated previously, you are not trying to impress anyone. If you want to dress lazy and wear sweat pants, go for it! If you want to dress classy with a suit and tie, do it! Let say you want to wear that slim, sexy, red dress you’ve got tucked away in your closet, wear it! It is your decision and no one is going to challenge your own individuality.

You Can Jam to Songs About being Single

Many celebrities have written songs about the joys of being single. You can pretty much listen to those on repeat. For instance, when you go on a road trip with some of your closest friends, you can blast these kinds of songs and sing along. Some of the songs are: “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” by Cindy Lauper, “Single ladies” by Beyonce, “It’s my Life” by Bon Jovi, “Single” by Natasha Bedingfield, “I Don’t Wanna Be in Love” by Good Charlotte, "Ridin’ Solo" by Jason Derulo, “U + Ur Hand" by P!nk, and many more.

With that said, go out and get your dance on. Enjoy your freedom while you have it!

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.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
