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.

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?

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.
