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.

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
