25 Things Better Than A Boyfriend

Praise the single life.

Love Affair With Fashion

It's 2016 and no girl needs a guy to make her happy. There are so many things in this world that fill that place, even the little things. Stop dwelling on the single life and appreciate some of the small thing for once.

1. Chocolate

It's not just for Valentine's Day. Chocolate is one of the best candies out there, it should be its own food group. Go out and buy yourself some chocolate, because why not?

2. Netflix

Forget Netflix and Chill. Get into bed with a bag of popcorn and Netflix it up with yourself. You can watch whatever you want at your own pace, perks!

3. Pizza

Ultimate comfort food.

4. Puppies

They are so cute and cuddly. Puppy trumps boyfriend every time.

5. Air Freshener

Nothing like some air freshener to brighten your day! Plus, no guy can smell like a tropical beach as well as your favorite air freshener.

6. Long Showers

Something about taking a long hot shower always puts me in a good mood. Take that time to yourself to relax and clean yourself of your worries.

7. Dance Parties

Dance it out.

8. Fuzzy Socks

They are like a warm puppy hug for your feet!

9. Warm Cookies

The smell, the taste, the smiles. A boyfriend can't beat a warm cookie.

10. Shopping

Boys hate it, girls love it. So take advantage of this.

11. New Jewelry

Do like the independent women do, "I buy my own diamonds and I buy my own rings."

12. Calling Your Mom

Long phone calls with mom are pretty much the highlight of any girls day.

13. Pajamas

The choice of clothing when you have nobody to impress.

14. Cat Videos

LOL

15. Movie Marathons

Equally as amazing as Netflix binging. I would suggest a DCOM or Harry Potter marathon for maximum happiness.

16. Adult Coloring Books

They are a lot more relaxing than you think.

17. Mani Pedis

No explanation needed.

18. Vacations

Escape reality and your thoughts by getting away for a while. It's a great time to lie on the beach and be alone.

19. Tanning

Goes with vacationing. You look good, you feel good. It's as simple as that.

20. GNO

Call the girls, grab a drink, have some fun. Nothing wrong with a random hookup if thats where your night ends.

21. Messy Hair

Messy hair don't care. Who's gunna judge?

22. Jennifer Lawrence

She's the real bae.

23. Spontaneous Car Rides

Something thats always better when its just you and your girls.

24. F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

It's all about the friends.

25. Girl Friends

Hoes before bros.

You know it.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

360

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

16 Secrets Anthropology Majors Never Admit To

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

Washington College

CSU

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

2220

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

13. When it all comes down to it, though, you know that at the end of the day, music is your passion:

Because you need it in your life.
