5 Quick Answers To That Favorite Question: “Why Are You Single?”

If you're single I am sure you can relate to at least one awkward moment in your life when you've been asked, "So...any special someone in your life?" This is an especially popular topic at family gatherings. Then after you respond, you are challenged with the question, "Why!" like there is something wrong with you.

If you didn't already know, I am here to tell you.... it is OK to be single! Sometimes there are more important things to worry about than changing your relationship status on Facebook.

Here is a quick list of completely reasonable and logical answers to clear up anyone's confusion about your love life.

1. I am too busy. I have to focus all my energy on so many things, like work and school. Often I feel as if there is not enough time in the day to get everything done. I want to be able to have time and effort to devote to a relationship.

2. I need to focus on myself. My body and mind need some work right now. I don't feel ready to share my world with anyone. I want to be in love with myself before I try and love somebody else.

3. I haven't met the right one. I don't want to date someone just to say that I am in a relationship. To me that seems like a waste. I want to take my time and find someone I'm compatible with. Someone I have a connection with.

4. I want to be single. I'm having fun and being carefree. By no means do I feel alone. I have everything I need right now in this moment and time. My friends and family are all I need right now to make me happy.

5. I love my freedom. I enjoy being independent and on my own. I like being able to make decisions without having to consult anyone. For example, I could get up and travel right now without having the guilt or worry leaving my significant other.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
