Being Single As Told by Schmidt From 'New Girl'

"You mean I don't have to spend all my money on someone else, and I don't have to shave everyday? What a travesty!"

Being Single As Told by Schmidt From 'New Girl'
Vulture

As a single-pringle, life is very different from that of your taken friends. The dating game is always mildly frustrating, but equally addictive, you don't have to worry about rocking the groufit, and there is so much freedom. Rocking a single status has its perks and definitely some downfalls. Schmidt from the television series New Girl knows better than anyone.

1. Some people look at being single as the end of the world.


But in reality, there are so many bigger problems in the world than not having a significant other.

2. But being single is actually pretty awesome.


"You mean I don't have to spend all my money on someone else, and I don't have to shave everyday? What a travesty!"

3. You can go out and have fun!

4. When it comes to playing it cool, sometimes you have 0 chill.

What are people attracted to anyway?

5. Sometimes you just want to bang the hot guy at the bar.


Because you can!

6. When your family members ask if you're seeing anyone...


The answer always gets a little tricky.

7. You try to be happy for your friends in relationships.

But you're just a teensy-bit jealous of their cuteness.

8. You never have to worry about being tied down, because...

9. Story-time with your friends in relationships is always entertaining.

The love to hear about all your dating escapades.

10. Sometimes you sink into a "forever alone" episode.


Full with crying, ice cream, and rom-coms.

11. And even though they try to comfort you, non-singles don't understand.

12. Looking another couple's PDA, just makes you sick.


Can you please remove the googly-eyes and hand-holding? Some of us are trying to be single in peace.

13. Sometimes you wonder if it's you.


Maybe there's something wrong with you.

14. And watching all your friends in relationships makes you feel lonely.

You miss having someone to talk to and love.

15. But then you remember that you're amazing, and you can do whatever you want!

And without judgment!

16. You can go out basically whenever you want.

And flirt your little heart out!

17. Coming home at the end of the night can be a little sad.


Body pillows are a single gals' best friend.

18. But at the end of the day, you know you are perfectly happy being single...


And absolutely killing it.

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?
