No, I don't have a boyfriend yet.

So many people are always asking, "When are you going to get a boyfriend?" or "Do you have a boyfriend?" For so long now I have been hearing these questions, and it can be tiring. Here are the reasons why I am okay with being single.

1. I don't have to worry about texting someone back.

Well, except my mom because she gets angry when I don't. Other than that, though, I am golden. No mass of angry texts when I leave my phone for five minutes.

2. I don't have the time to fend for someone else.

I really don't understand how couples are together 24/7 because I can barely find time for sleep. I go to classes, go to work, eat, and sleep. Where do I fit in spending time with another human being?

3. I don't have to spend money on someone.

I mean, I'm a broke college student. Do I really have the funds to be buying my boyfriend some new Nike's or sweatshirts? No, I like to spoil myself too much... and buy food and coffee.

4. I can look at and talk to any guy I want.

I like to be able to look at an attractive guy, or just talk to my guy friends whenever I want to. When I do this I don't want a jealous boyfriend to freak out on me.

5. More food for me.

Let's face it, I love food. The less I have to share, the happier I am.

6. There is no room in my bed for another body.

Basically I can't even fit on my bed because my two dogs have taken it over. So I really don't even have room for me on my bed.

7. I don't have to look nice if I don't want to.

Look, I know that I am never entitled to look nice for anyone, ever, but I see you girls getting all made up to go to a movie. I like to be comfy when I watch a movie, so that's not for me.

8. I'm selfish.

I'm not really going to lie, I am pretty selfish. How fair would it be of me to date someone that wants my attention and to spend time with me. To be honest, I like to be alone way to often and I like to give attention to myself. Especially when I just finish my make up, like "Hello gorgeous."

9. Friends are more important than a guy in my opinion.

I would so much rather spend time with my girls watching movies at three a.m. with pizza and ice cream. They don't care how ugly I look after work or what weird movies or shoes I like, they are going to love it all. I feel like I would not be this comfortable with a guy.


Now I know you all probably think I'm dogging on guys in relationships or girls that choose to be in relationships, but it isn't. It's all just to poke fun and to get people to stop asking me why there is no guy in my life.I mean a few may be true, or maybe all of them but don't take them so seriously. Also, for all of you guys and girls out there, enjoy the single life! You may miss it a little when you get married.

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.
