You don't joke around about pizza being your S.O. because, let's be honest, you don't want (need) one.

12 Signs You're Single and Slightly, Absolutely Okay With It
Quote Fancy

Dating is cool, I guess. I'm sure relationships are also quality, but being single is pretty neat. There comes a time when you realize the true joys of being single are better than the stereotypical slump of sadness our generation has turned it into. Here's 12 signs that you're single and rocking every second of it.

1) You feel cool saying you're a strong, confident, independent person and actually meaning and believing it.

2) You get a rush of excitement going to a restaurant and seeing "perfect for sharing" and knowing you can get it all for yourself.

3) Speaking of food, you think it's a blessing when your take out Chinese comes with multiple fortune cookies, because yum more fortune cookies for you!

4) When you start looking at plane tickets and travel ideas, and dance with joy at having to change the "2 adults" to 1. Cheaper seat here I come!

5) Whenever you see a "relationship goals" post you slightly cringe because hard pass on the feels.

6) You find a sense of relief come any major present giving holiday because you don't have to buy another person a gift. Life is hard when you're broke, it's easier though when you don't have another body to buy for.

7) You get excited to be CatDog with your friend for Halloween more than you slump about not being a cute couple costume.

8) The reason you bought a Double Nester Eno was to fit your backpack, snacks and you in it. Not another body, except maybe a dog. Dog can join.

9) Being a third-wheel has become your favorite part of a relationship since you can bounce out at anytime.

10) You don't look at Valentine's Day as a day to mope around, it's a day you get all excited about because you love telling your friends and fam you adore them. Plus it's the eve of heavily reduced priced candy, what a time to be alive.

11) When you imagine spontaneous adventures, it's heading to a picnic by the local lake or going to a museum by yourself. Not some trip that has to go into consideration for another.

12) You love that your Insta and other social media platforms are chock full of you thriving in life as an independent person.

Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
