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!

To those who celebrate, you just spent an entire day cooking an elaborate meal with all of your favorite foods. You probably ate your body weight in pumpkin pie and mashed potatoes. What happens now? Oh yea, Christmas. It’s time to take out all of the decorations and Christmas themed things that have been sitting in the attic since last year; it’s time to make a reappearance. So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.
