Looking around and seeing happy couples everywhere may leave you wishing you were in a relationship. Being third wheel to your bestie may be getting old but, being single has so many perks that you're missing because you’re thinking of all the great things you find in a relationship. Trust me, single is better!

If this is Your Response When Someone Asks if You're Seeing Anyone

You don't understand how awesome it is to be single. Most people do not see the true blessing. I’m here to remind you of how amazing single can be.

1. Being Independent

'

Independent means doing what you want, when you want, how you want without answering to your boyfriend/girlfriend. Isn't that what college is all about? You don't need anyone to drag you down, you just keep doing you.

2. Partying is Always Better When You're Singe

You can embarrass yourself in front of the whole party and social media without feeling guilty for going a little wild last night.

3. No More Pointless Fights

Everyone hates those fights, you know, the ones that start over something ridiculous and neither of you even know why you're fighting then arguments from months previous get thrown at you from left field and you just can't even deal anymore.

4. You Learn to Love Yourself

Instead of loving someone else, you learn to love yourself which is so important. Who's more amazing than you anyway?

5. You Can Flirt with Anyone You Want

Jess Day says it all in this one. Being free, you are open to meeting everyone, especially the cute ones, without your jealous significant other watching over you all night. Going on dates with different people can help you find what you like and don't like in a relationship partner.

6. What Even is Love?

Love is overrated. Family and friends are who you find true love from.

7. You Know You're Not Settling

Settling for less than the best is the worst thing you can do. You deserve the best and being single you won't have to lower your standards for anyone. In fact, you have more time to higher your standards so when you finally find the person worth your time, they will have everything you're looking for

8. More Time With Friends

Your friends won't miss you all the time because instead of cuddles and sleepover with your bae, you're doing those things with your friends.


9. That Great Feeling After You Break Up With Someone



And you finally get to that point where you ask yourself, "Why did I even date him/her?"

10. Then You're Ready To Get You're Game Face On

You're single and ready to mingle, no strings attached of course because who needs clingy in college.
