Perks Of Being Single

Go ahead, eat the last slice of pizza, you deserve it!

Dec 12, 2016

With the holiday season upon us, (or as some like to call it, cuffing season) it's hard not to get that loathsome feeling feeling in your chest that makes you want to binge watch Hallmark Christmas movies and cry of loneliness, trust me, I've been there. But why is every single person I know, including myself at times, letting this be what defines them this time of year, or anytime of year for that matter?! Being single around Christmas time, or at all, is really never without its perks and its time we all started realizing it!

1. It Saves Money!

One less present to buy WOHOO!

2. More "Me" Time.

Who doesn't love alone time! So much time to sit and do what ever the heck you want! Go ahead eat the entire bag of Doritos, no one else will know!

3. You Never Have to Share The Covers!

Say goodbye to waking up shivering because you thought using one blanket was totally going to be enough.

4. Never have to compromise on where to eat.

Gone are the times when figuring out where to eat was a never ending choice that always seems to end an argument anyway.

5. Personal Hygiene Isn't Top Priority

Shaving, laundry, and morning breath? Don't worry about it!

6. Flirt With Whoever You Want

Go ahead get your wink on!

7. Celebrity Crushes Are Still Serious Possibilities

8. Be As Gross and Lazy As You Want

9. Free To Make Big Life Decisions

Who says you can't move across the country or move to Guam for a year?

10. Falling in Love With You.

It is often said that the best relationships are when you fall in love with your best friend, but how can you do that until you learn to truly love you for you?

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
