Feeling down about being single? There is NO reason to with all of the little things happening in life. There are so many things that are better than having a boyfriend that make going boyfriend-less the new best thing. Here are 42 things you can celebrate about your single life.

1. A Dog

No boy will ever be able to replace the joy one gets from a new puppy.

2. New Lipstick

And no one to smear it.

3. Netflix Series

Being able to start a series and NOT have to wait for your significant other to watch the next episode.

4. Pizza

This large pepperoni with stuffed crust is not sharing size sorry.

5. Soft Blankets

And not having to share them with anyone.

6. $.54

If you do the math, every time a woman shaves their legs with a razor, it totals out to about $.54. That will add up FAST when you can finally stop shaving every other day.

7. Scented Candles

Because no guy smells as good as a Miami Sunrise.

8. Bubble Baths

The most relaxing and comforting activity.

9. Starbucks

Without buying the obligatory frappe for your other half.

10. A Cat

Even though they are just as attention seeking as a boyfriend.

11. Coupons

A boy can't save you $2.50 on your next purchase.

12. Lava Lamps

You never get bored of looking at a lava lamp, trust me.

13. Fuzzy socks

Nothing beats the warmth and comfort they provide.

14. Listening to your favorite song

Headphones are made for ONE pair of ears at a time.

15. Grey's Anatomy

All of the emotional rollercoaster of a relationship in one tv series.

16. Peanut Butter

You don't need anything judging the amount of spoonfuls you can eat by yourself.

17. Spending Time With Mom

Honestly, no one will ever compare to loving and comforting you like mom.

18. Getting An A On A Test

After a night of cramming, nothing feels more rewarding.

19. A New Victoria's Secret Bra

You do NOT need a man to make you feel sexy.

20. Taking A Perfect Selfie

Without a boy to ruin how good you look.

21. Homemade Bread

This takes time (about the length of a movie date...), but so worth the effort.

22. Sleeping In

No alarm, no problems.

23. A Big Paycheck

Spending long hours at the pet store, or the nursing home, or behind the cash register sure have their benefits.

24. The Gym

Feel good about yourself AND get a free pass to check out the cutie on the treadmill.

25. Makeup Tutorials

No guy would sit through three minutes of "the perfect winged eyeliner".

26. Pancakes

It's hard to rank anything higher than the greatest breakfast food....

27. Bacon

... Except for this one.

28. Oversized Flannels

You can shop in the men's section for YOU for a change.

29. Church

Not only for Sunday mornings, but anytime you're feeling like you're alone.

30. Justin Bieber

You can't talk about your future as Mrs. Bieber to your current boyfriend anyways.

31. Naps

Midday naps are for you and you only.

32. Pink Moscato

A bottle of pink wine with your ladies, there is nothing better.

33. RomComs

Even though we know boys secretly love them...

34. Hiking

You can't beat the open air and solace from the top of a mountain.

35. Messy Buns

It's all about convenience and comfort.

36. Walks At Night

A good time to look up at the stars and appreciate everything life has to offer.

37. Traveling

You can still enjoy Paris without a cliche kissing pic by the Eiffel Tower.

38. Coloring Books For Adults

Bring out the child in you!

39. Baking

And hog the whole pan of brownies for yourself with NO shame.

40. First Snow Fall

There is not much more beautiful than a perfectly white blanket of snow.

41. Freshly Fallen Leaves

And jumping right into a giant pile of them.

42. Girls Night

Let's be real, absolutely nothing compares to the time spent with our girls.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
