I'm a huge advocate for being single in college. It's a belief I hold near and dear to my single heart for numerous reasons. First of all, whoever said that girls bring drama has never met college boys. It's pretty crazy that these "macho men" can be so emotional and inconsiderate when it comes to treating their girlfriends, or even girls in general, right. If I had a dollar for ever night I sat with my girlfriends crying over ex's... well you know the rest. These boys (yes, I said boys) need to come to the understanding that they need us way more than we will ever need them.

Now, I'm not bashing the entire Y chromosome species here on earth, but I definitely am bashing the cheaters, liars, and heartbreakers. Let's look at some actual science, shall we? Oxytocin, vasopressin, and estrogen, oh my! These lovely neuropeptides and hormones react differently in the female body than in the male body... leaving us prone to early, on-set attachment. I'm not going to get into the details, but let's just blame it on the bio. So boys, next time you're loving us for our beauty, both inside and out, remember what is inside before calling us "psycho" and "obsessed," because we biologically cannot help ourselves.

My momma always says, "If he comes back, it means no one else wanted him." Think about that. There is a reason you and your boyfriend broke up, right? Have you ever heard someone say, "Oh, we broke up because everything was simply perfect!"? Probably not. So after our little science lesson and motherly advice, I think it's safe to say that it's a good rule of thumb to move on after you break up. As a college student, I know that I am too young to waste the best years of my life worried about my ex-boyfriends. Don't get me wrong, if you found a boy that makes you want to walk outside and scream, "Chivalry is not dead!" by all means hold onto him, but if you find yourself, at any point, crying over a boy... as my sister would say, "It's time to go." Take this time to recover from the heartbreak, to focus on and find yourself, and to do what makes you happy. It's crazy the things you can learn about yourself when you take some time to focus on you.

There are many fish in the sea, darling.
