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.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
