20 Reasons I Rather Be Single, From The Girl Whose Always Been In A Relationship
Madalyn Ferrara

I have always been "with" someone or in a relationship. Not that I needed to be, it just kind of happened. After a few bad relationships I found myself in a place where I had no desire to be in a relationship. Crazy? Maybe, but to be frank, these past months without someone have been the most eye opening months I think I have lived. Through these months, I have had moments that I did miss having a person, but yet, I still have not chosen to pursue anything. Why? Because, I have found 20 things that made being single seem oh-so-sweet.

1. I can take up the whole bed.

2. I can eat all my food without sharing.

3. I am free to roam where I please.

4. It's cheaper, duh.

5. No cheating!

6. No need to stress about an anniversary.

7. I can go out with my friends without feeling guilty.

8. Girls night is a regular thing.

9. No meeting parents.

10. Can roll out of bed, sweat pants and all, cause damn who am I impressing?

11. No drama or intense arguments.

12. Don't need to compromise my priorities.

13. Full privacy when/ if needed.

14. I get control of the remote.

15. Have time to invest in my career/ education.

16. I have become more active.

17. More aware of what I want in future relationships.

18. Time to explore ones inner self.

19. Freedom to date freely.

20. Less time on the cellular.

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
