9 Great Advantages Of Being Single During The Holidays
What's That Smell?

The holidays are always pretty great, but they’re especially great when you’re single.

More time with your own family.

Who doesn’t love spending time with your family? Without a significant other, you’re not going to get into arguments about whose family to spend what time with, you just have all the time in the world to spend with your family.

More time to yourself.

You could spend it playing Xbox, or PS4 if you’re that kind of person, or you could spend it sleeping. Or playing with your cat. Or whatever you wanna do. It’s your time.

More food to yourself

You don’t have any limits. You have no one to impress. Eat all the food you want.

More money to yourself.

You have one less person to spend money on. Now you can spend more money on more quality gifts for your family.

Or food…

You could always just spend that extra money on food.

Less fighting.

You already have to deal with your family arguing over the election, why have one more person around to disagree on things with?

More time to sleep

Who doesn’t love to sleep?

Lower stress level.

You don’t have anyone to impress or look nice for, so you’re just yolo-ing by yourself. Look nice if you wanna look nice, or look like a hobo if that’s more your style. With no one here to complain, there’s a lot more freedom. Consequence-less freedom.

Did I say more food?

Let’s be honest, the holidays are all about the food. And let’s be even more honest, you’re gonna dive into your plate headfirst. You don’t need someone sitting there watching you devour your food, plate and all. When you’re single, you can eat like a pig. And no one cares.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
