The holidays are upon us and these are some of the things that you experience as a single person:
1. Happy Couples
They are just. Everywhere during the holidays. It's like they like each other or something....
2. Seeing Cute Holiday Couple Pictures. EVERYWHERE.
We really just wish we could take those pictures. I mean, if we're third wheeling, we literally take the pictures.
3. Family Questions About Our Loneliness (I Mean Love Life)
Thank you, Aunt Sharron, for reminding me that "It's time for me to get out there" and that I'm a "marketable young man any girl would be lucky to date." I will be sure to hand my business card out at parties and small social gatherings.
4. Happy Couples
SO. MANY. HAPPY PEOPLE.
5. Being Offered to Third Wheel Constantly
Sure! But let me find a fellow single person to tag along because. No third wheels.
6. Watching Romantic Holiday Movies. By Yourself.
Nobody knows why the single person does this. But they do it anyway.
7. People Under the Mistletoe
This goes back to number 2. We. Wish.
8. Being the Only One Without a New Year's Kiss
We'll stick to the sparkling cider. Or Champagne. Or vomiting a little in our mouths.
9. Happy Couples
They say when you are in a relationship, you only see happy singles and when you are single you only see happy couples. They understated that last part.
10. Hanging Out With Your Dog Over Break Because You're the Only Single Friend
Who needs a relationship when you have a furry friend that can't refuse to watch a movie with you and costs no money?
11. Day Dreaming About Being in a Relationship During the Holidays
It happens to every single person, don't deny it.
12. Did I Mention, Happy Couples
The single crowd really is happy for our relationship counterparts, but that doesn't mean we can't be jealous of them. Happy Holidays to everyone, single, in a relationship or anyone in between!
