It's Okay To Be Single
Boundless

In a world full of cute couples and romantic films, it is hard to feel comfortable being single. I have been single my whole life, which may be hard to believe. It's not like I am not interested, I just haven't found "Mr. Right." My message to all the single people out there is that it is okay to be single!

You may feel like you are the "only one" or that you'll be single forever, but that's okay. In today's society, it feels like we must find someone to spend the rest of our lives with right at this very moment. That thought seems crazy to me right now. I am still trying to find myself, how am I supposed to find the person to spend forever with?

To all the people out there who feel pressured to be in a relationship, just know that it is okay to be on your own for a while. There are many benefits to a relationship, but there are also benefits to being single. You get to find yourself in this crazy mess of a world. You have the opportunity to constantly meet new, interesting people. There are so many positive things to go along with not having a romantic relationship.

I'm sure it's awesome to be in a relationship, but it is also awesome to be single. Everyone is different. Whether you are single for right now, married, dating, single for life, or just seeing where life goes, it is all okay! Be who you want to be at this moment in time. No one can tell you who to be. So be single, be married, go on dates, or don't. It's up to you.

Take it from me, the girl who is okay with being single.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
