Fall Semester Is The LAST Place You Want To Find Yourself In A Serious Relationship
Wikia

You're coming in HOT this semester.

Meaning... you are super motivated to get all A's and plant your feet in a new internship and a new part-time job. You're ready to get your shit together because it's a new year, it's a new you. Fall semester is the last place you want to decide on a serious relationship.

Fall semester is the time to meet new people, meet new friends. Another start to a year closer to graduation, you don't have time for games and heart ache. You don't want any of that. Sure the major holidays are coming up, like Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, where you think you need a boo-thang for to go to cute places and take cute pictures.

BUT HEY YOU DON'T NEED NONE OF THAT.

You got your girlfriends/bros! Go out with your friends for Halloween, screw the cute couple costumes (barf). Have a friends giving instead of going to *meet the parents* (double barf) and TREAT YO' SELF FOR CHRISTMAS! Don't waste your parent's money on gifts for a boo thang.

I'm telling you now, you need to get your grades into perfection once this semester is over.

Then you can have a little fun in the spring semester. Spring break?! Job fairs are going to be happening in the start of the semester, so get your ass in there and find yourself a part-time job. Make some new friends at work, meet even more people at work... and don't forget about finding a new internship! You're going to have so much on your plate, you can't give time to all these guys and girls running around trying to get in your pants. They don't deserve to waste your time on conversations you don't care about, playing mindful games to get under your skin just to see where you stand. You don't need any of that nonsense.

I'm all for love, don't get me wrong.

But come into the school year ready to achieve and succeed! It's amazing to come home to winter break to starting the new year to good grades. It might get lonely at times, but who said you needed a serious relationship. Maybe a little fall fling or whatever, but college is the last place you want a serious relationship in this day in age.

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

Dedicated to February 14

Truman State University
24317
sex and the city
Warner Bros. Television

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Whether you believe astrology is a legitimate "science" or not, we have all found ourselves looking at our horoscopes from time to time. The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.

15 Ridiculous Things College Made Me Do (Part Two)

When you are on your own and tired, things happen.

If you haven't read the first part of this, I would highly suggest to, specifically because the Public Service Announcement placed in the beginning of that article still applies. If you don't feel like reading part one, I will try to cover it quickly. Basically, long story short, I am a pretty boring person and lead a pretty ordinary life. Due to this, please do not expect for the things I consider ridiculous to be what others may deem it. I promise that each of these I have done with a complete sane, mildly bored, brain. With all of this being said, please enjoy the semi-absurd things I have been lead to do in the second semester of my freshman year at college.

College is supposed to be one of the best times of your life. However, it is also one of the toughest transitions to make. There is so much anticipation and excitement leading up to moving into college. It doesn’t truly hit you until move in day when your parents say their final goodbyes and you see their car drive away. You truly are on your own. I was blessed to meet my best friends within the first week of school. Your college friends are so important and here’s why:
