Being single is always fun, especially when you're 20 and it's summer vacay.

There are many reasons why I personally enjoy being single in the summer and here's a few of them:

1. You're not tied down.

Don't get me wrong, I love being able to come home to someone or have someone there to talk to about my day. However, there's something so liberating about not having to worry about a significant other. Being able to do whatever, whenever, with whoever you want is exciting.

2. There's more opportunity for spontaneity.

No one to answer to, be free and spontaneous with your girlfriends. Summer 2017 adventures to come.

3. You have more "girl time."

When you have a boyfriend, you find yourself getting wrapped up in them and your relationship. you tend to stop hanging out with your friends as much. Being single allows you to have copious amounts of girl time. I find that I spend A LOT of time with my girlfriends and my mom, which is so so important.

4. You have time for yourself.

I don't think there's anything more important than taking care of yourself and really focusing on what makes you happy.

5. You get to meet new people.

Being single means you're ready to mingle! You can create all new relationships with new people and the summer is the best time to do that.

6. You save money.

Only having to focus and worry about yourself usually leads you to saving money. You're not always out spending on your man or helping him split the bill. I noticed I wasn't spending as much money when I'm single. Especially with it being summer, gotta have that spending money!

7. It gives you time to figure out what kind of person you want to be with.

When you're single and dating, you get the chance to meet different people and gives you the opportunity to try and figure out what you do and do not want in a partner.

8. There's also more family time.

Not spending time with my boyfriend gives me more family time now that it's summer and I'm not in school.

9. You don't have to worry about a relationship when school gets back in.

Once summer ends, you can start the new semester ready to start fresh!

10. You have way more fun.

Being single is always more fun than being tied down. More room for adventure and spontaneity.


To those who have had a hard time figuring out how to enjoy being single, I hope my few reasons gave you a little bit a confident boost to kill the single game!

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.
