11 Things To Do Instead Of Dwelling On Being Single

Whether you're a fan of relationships or you're single and proud, it's hard to completely escape the reality of single life. There is always at less one person in your immediate vicinity, whether a friend or yourself even, with the single blues. But hey, this is the time to have fun, not mope around. I mean if you must, flex on your ex briefly, but once that's done it's time to think about other things. Here are a few fun ones that are guaranteed to always cheer you up.

1. Flex

Because clearly—who are we kidding—that's always the first step.

2. Eat

Food is the best fix—always.

3. Shop

I swear everyone feels better with a new pair of shoes.

4. Do something artsy

Creative outlets are exactly that—outlets. So sing, dance, or pick up a paint brush. Whatever it is will definitely help you escape those negative thoughts.

5. Go on an adventure

Have a new experience you'll never forget.

6. Ride in a convertible

Feel the wind blow through your hair and just live. Or find a car with a big sun roof and create that illusion.

7. Binge watch a TV show

Some of those original series really are fire, trust me.

8. Try some of those Tasty videos on Facebook

Because you're going to have to cook the food and master a new skill.

9. Hang with the boys

Because you wouldn't dare talk about relationships around them.

10. Buy a bath bomb

You'll be mesmerized by its beauty.

11. Woman up

Because you should know that you don't need a man to make you happy, and everything always turns out for the best in the long run.


Whatever you do, just avoid a wine night with the girls—unless you want to sob yourself to sleep after watching a romantic movie...no thanks.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
