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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
