Perks Of Being Single

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?

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
