Being single is A-Ok. Don't believe me? Just see what Jess Day has to say about being single.

1. I'm cool.


Really, though. I'm cool. I listen to different music, I eat interesting foods, I love art museums. I like cool things. And sometimes when you're cool, like me, people tend to not be into you. They can't deal with all the coolness. Especially if they're cool, too. It's like way too much cool for one couple to handle. And because i'm cool, I one-hundred-and-ten percent understand that.

2. I sing to myself ... a lot

In the car, the shower, sometimes in the grocery store. Basically, I'm always jamming out, whether I'm alone or with others. I'd like to think I'm doing the male population a favor by staying single.

3. To put it frankly, I'm batshit crazy.

Not even just towards males or relationships, but in ever aspect of my life. I'm crazy about working out. Crazy about getting good grades. Crazy (in love) with my dog. Basically, I'm a crazy person. And that tends to not work out too well in relationships. So I steer clear.

4. I can drink

It's a Tuesday and I've got nowhere to be until tomorrow at noon. I am going to have a drink. Or three. And no one can stop me.

I've noticed that, when you're in a relationship, you have to tend to your partner's wants and needs as well as yours. Sure, some of that is easy. But I want to do what I want to do. And I don't need another person holding me back from doing that.

5. I like being alone

Breakups suck. And when you've invested a lot into them, they suck even more. I'd prefer to stay alone and happy than run the risk of getting my feelings hurt over a boy again.

6. Public affection annoy me

PDA is not in my forte.

7. I have the hots for everyone.

And I'd really like to keep it that way. I want to be able to go out for Sunday brunch and look all I want at the males surrounding me. Maybe even go introduce myself. Having that opportunity always open is a nice way to live.

8. I'm really, truly blessed with being happy and being single.


Some people don't have the pleasure of loving themselves and the confidence to be happy about being single. I do, and I couldn't ask for much more out of life.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
