12 Reasons It's OK To Be Single During The Holidays
Where To Get It

Don't stress, feel blessed! Cuffing season is among you but that's no reason to feel down about your relationship status. There are many reasons why being single throughout the holiday season is 110 percent acceptable...

1) You don't have to share your holiday treats.

You do not have to face the pressure of sharing your box of Ferrero Rocher Fine Hazelnut Chocolates. They are all yours.

2) You also don't have to share your holiday drinks.


3) You get to watch “12 Dates of Christmas” as many times as you want

It's Netflix’s way of saying “We’ve got your back, we’re not going anywhere.”

4) You don't have to buy a significant other some sort of lavish gift.

You just saved a bunch of money on Christmas gifts by switching to single.

5) You can take the money you save from buying a significant other a gift and buy yourself a gift.

6) Cuddling is overrated.

You know what no one ever complains about? Having the whole bed to themselves.

7) You can listen to as much or as little holiday music as you like.

No need to accommodate anyone's Christmas spirit.

8) You can sit back and enjoy the Christmas themed Tinder pick-up lines.

"Shouldn't you be sitting on top of the tree, angel?" Yikes.



9) You only have to worry about accommodating one schedule.

It's ME o'clock.

10) You have complete say over what type of holiday card you are going to send.

11) You can do more important things this holiday season.

Like lay around in your Rudolph onesie, stalking people on Instagram, and drinking eggnog.

12) Get in shape... Or don't.

It’s sweater season. No one can tell anyway.

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.

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.
