8 Reasons Why I'm Single: As Told By Jess Day

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.

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.
