45 Things You Can Do Without a Boyfriend
Medical Daily

My friend (hopefully jokingly) asked me one day, "What do you even do since you don't have a boyfriend?"

So I decided to answer the question, here is a list of ideas for those who don't have boyfriends.

1. Read

2. Run

3. Workout

4. Write

5. Hangout with your friends

6. Learn a new instrument

7. Get a pet

8. Go for a hike

9. Explore poetry

10. Become a food critic (on your own of course)

11. Get your nails done

12. Dance

13. Explore the touristy activities in your area

14. Catch up on chores

15. Do your laundry

16. Garden

17. Have a picnic

18. Visit a local coffee shop with friends

19. Learn the art of photography

20. Go to an art class

21. Learn to juggle

22. Bike

23. Go swimming

24. Become organized

25. Learn how to do hair

26. Bond with your parents

27. Take a relaxation day

28. Buy some new clothes

29. Take a bubble bath

30. Get a gym membership

31. Travel

32. Hammock

33. Make a bucket list and complete it

34. Go dirt-biking

35. Volunteer at places you think need help

36. Research a topic that you've always wanted to know more about

37. Attend an open-mic some place

38. Do some karaoke

39. Go skiing

40. Eat some dark chocolate

41. Take your parents out to dinner

42. Spend time with your siblings

43. Get a new piercing

44. Start a new TV series

45. Learn what you want in your next relationship and the next guy you date

This is a list of 45 things that can be done without a boyfriend. My point is not to rag those who have boyfriends, but to prove that almost anything can be done without a boyfriend (or with a boyfriend). Having a boyfriend is not essential to learning how to live or love. Rather, you should be with someone who makes you happy but does not take time away from the things you love to do. A boyfriend is not someone who completes you, but compliments you. Dating is normal, being interested in guys is not bad, but forgetting your friends, replacing your friends, forgetting who you are, and losing pieces of who you were is wrong. Go on and date, but those who are single are okay being who they are without having to compromise on what they want to do or who they share the bed with.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
