10 Reasons Being Single Is Actually Awesome

1. You don't have to consult another person before doing something.

Want to take that job across the country? Want to get a cute new pup? Good news, you can! Without having to discuss it with a significant other or receiving any backlash.

2. You can have friends of the opposite sex and it not be a problem.

Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to have a *just* friend of the opposite sex.

3. You save money that you would be spending on presents for them.

You don't have to waste your money on a Valentine's Day card and a Christmas present. You get to save it and spend it on things you want: like wine and food.

4. You get more friend time.

When you're in a relationship, it can be hard finding the balance between friend time and girlfriend/boyfriend time. If you're single, you don't have to worry about this struggle, you get to spend all your time with your friends! Bless.

5. You get to focus on yourself.

Only having to worry about one person is a true blessing. You can devote all of your time and energy toward improving yourself and living your best life.

6. You don't have to share your food with another person.

Order that large pizza with all your favorite toppings and eat the entire thing. Just because you can.

7. You get the chance to grow as an individual.

Explore your interests, your passions, your talents. And go wherever they take you.

8. The whole bed is yours.

And it's absolutely acceptable to sprawl across it from one corner to the other.

9. You can watch whatever you want, no complaints or questions asked.

Feel like watching game show network all day? Cooking shows? A stupid reality show? Go for it.

10. You're spared all of the pointless, random arguments relationships come with.

You don't have to argue about how much wine you drank, or that outfit you wore, or where to eat. Congratulations, you are spared.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
