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.

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.
