12 Struggles Of Being Single During The Holidays

To set the scene, just imagine this. You have been "in love" with the same guy for over a year and all of a sudden things get rough. You cannot handle it anymore so you guys just go your separate ways. A year or more of the same person day in and day out. They know how you like your coffee, they know your favorite things, and how not to talk to you until you have coffee. They understand that there's no argument that a burrito bowl cannot fix and they know how you like them. We all know that starting over can be difficult, most of the time you just want to run back to the person that knows everything about you. But you can't do that to yourself and you know it. I know this can be the ultimate struggle, especially during the holidays. Why not put these single holiday struggles into a list? I hope I'm not the only one struggling.

1. "Who do I go to the zoo lights with?!"

This is a very legit question because you can't go alone and most of the people that go are couples and families. I'll just go by myself? No, I'm not that lonely... Yet..

2. How does one "start over?"

Do I just go up to a random person and ask if they want to drink hot chocolate and make snow angels? I'm not buddy the elf.

3. "Is this guy flirting with me??"

I have no idea what flirting is anymore...Does sarcasm count?

4. "Ew, have I really looked like this for the past year?!"

What has my life come to that I don't actually have makeup on everyday? It's like I have never seen my face without makeup, but I don't want to. It's bad.

5. Those cute couple-ish pictures are a thing of the past.

6. "So when is it acceptable to exchange numbers?"

7. How dressy do you dress for a date?

Can I just be the Grinch?

8. "What do you mean by 'how do you like your coffee?' you don't know?!"

The wrong coffee is seriously the worst.

9. Can you change the music in the car if you don't like it?

Serious question. Not even kidding.

10. When your pets don't even want to snuggle...

11. *Guy asks you out*

12. The struggle of thinking you like someone but not knowing if it's mutual...

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.
