Plot twist: it's mostly food.

25 Things That Are Better Than A Boyfriend
Club 1201

Even as cuffing season (slowly) starts to die down, it can still be easy to get sucked down into the Forever Alone vortex. Honestly, boyfriends are overrated, and I can think of so many things I'd much rather have in my life.

1. An amazing group of friends.



Hoes over bros any day. Good guy friends count too, especially if they help you look for your lost cell phone in the middle of Mexico or walk you home from frat parties.

2. Pizza.

3. Garlic Bread.


4.) Fettuccine Alfredo.


5. Carbs in general.



Bread has always been there for me, can't say the same about boys.

6. Clean sheets and freshly shaved legs.

There is no better feeling

7. Wine.


Pink Moscato won’t wake up one day and decide not to love me anymore

8. A bomb playlist.


The creators of the TGIF and Guilty Pleasure Spotify deserve a raise.

9. Diner food.

I’ll take greasy grilled cheeses and milkshakes with my friends over a romantic candlelit dinner any day.

10. Beach days.


If you don’t live an hour or less from a beach.... I feel bad for ya son.

11. Puppies.

“Calling boys dogs is an insult. Dogs are loyal”

12. Dage weather.


I would still choose lukewarm keg beer over a natty fratty who may or may not have a Xanax addiction

13. Lunch dates with my parents.

Those two have my heart forever.

14. Coffee.


I run on Dunkin.

15. Burritos.

Panch, Chipotle, Qdoba, I do not discriminate.

16. Country music.

And for those who disagree…

17. “Class is canceled” emails.

I would rather be woken up at 8 am with “Sorry to do this but I can’t make it to class today” than a 3 am “Heyyyy wyd” text.

18. QT with my brother and sister.

And you best believe I have and will continue to teach my brother how to not act like a toolbag and be genuine to girls

19. Hearing my favorite song at parties.

AKA, The Chainsmokers and Come on Eileen.

20. Getting an A on a paper in your hardest class.

Lookin’ at you, Contemporary Child

21. Discovering new music.


I stumbled across New Politics and Mod Sun while procrastinating studying for tests in high school, their music makes me happier than any surprise dinner from a bf.

22. Going on vacation in a country where you are legal.

Viva Mexico!!!


23. Ranch dressing.

I put ranch on my pizza, fries. grilled cheese, you name it. And it tastes good every time.

24. Syllabus week.

Even though I may feel dead by the end of it.

25. Self-love.

I am so over the idea of a significant other being your “other half”. I 100% believe that people are complete on their own, and your boyfriend or girlfriend should be someone that brings out the best qualities in yourself that you had all along.



Maybe one day, I’ll meet a boy that loves me the way I love Pizza with ranch and dancing to “Closer” in frat basements with my best friends. Maybe. Until then, I think I’m covered.

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?
