Why Cuffing Season Sucks

Just because it's the holidays doesn't mean you have to rush to find someone to bring home to mom and dad.

If you don't know what cuffing season is, you're lucky, but you should keep reading just to see what us young folk have to deal with.

Cuffing season is basically a time of the year where all us single people start feeling like there's a deadline to find someone and that deadline is right now. For some odd reason, we feel this immense pressure to bring someone home for the holidays or just to be able to answer that annoying question of "hey do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend" with a yes. Of course, this always occurs during the holiday season which sucks if you love the holidays but then getting asked that question every single year is a real buzz kill.

There's really no rush for relationships, yet November hits and suddenly we all feel the need to jump into things to have someone. The way I see it, cuffing season is ridiculous. There's no set time or date you have to have someone by. When something is right you'll both know and it'll just naturally happen with time.

It's crazy because you'll find someone you find one thing in common with and boom you start thinking about dating them. It's so easy to find people you can talk to but it's really hard to find those genuine connections and I promise you that by rushing into things you won't really know if it's genuine or just about the need to cuff.

Every relationship, if you even want to call it that, that I've had was rushed and never amounted to anything big. Why? For the simple fact that I'm a person who isn't really hard to get along with and I just mistake getting along with someone as me being attracted or connecting with them.

So ladies and gents, stop desperately looking for someone just to fill that void and I promise you when the time is right someone great will come into your life. Or maybe they're already in your life but you're just not ready to see that yet and that's okay too. Take time and when you're ready, you'll know. Fight cuffing season away, there's literally no rush to find someone.

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.

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.
