Five Reasons Why You Should Love Being Single

All the single ladies, all the single ladies! If Beyoncé wrote a song about being single, it's obviously amazing. Who cares if all of your friends have boyfriends or your parents are constantly questioning why you never bring a guy to family dinner? Being single is way more fun and here are the five reasons why!

1. Perfect opportunity to find out who you are.

Being single is a great opportunity to find yourself. Are you the hipster or the fashionista? Are you the nice girl or the "DO NOT MESS WITH ME!" girl. Are you fun and flirty or shy and cute? The sporty chick or the stoner? Health nut or fatty? Smart or dumb? Honest or fake? What are you interested in? What do you want to do with your life? WHO ARE YOU!?

These are the questions you need to ask yourself while being alone. Ladies, you can't love someone unless you love yourself first. That means you need to know exactly who you are.

2. Way more free time!

Having a boyfriend can be fun and all, but they seriously tie you down. Not having a relationship gives you plenty of time to focus on schoolwork, friends, family, or maybe even pick up a new hobby or two. If you take away anything from this article...no boyfriend = no problem.

3. No commitments.

Sometimes your boyfriend can be seriously crazy. Maybe he doesn't want you to go out to parties or drink or even restricts you from hanging out with your guy friends. First of all, if this is happening, dump him ASAP. Second, after you dump him or if you are currently single, this means time for some frican fun. If you want to make out with a random guy at a party, you go Glen Coco!

4. No heartbreaks.

The first cut is the deepest. (Yes, I did just quote Sheryl Crow.) Getting your heart broken hurts like a b*tch. But, how can someone break your heart if you don't have a boyfriend? Sounds so simple...

5. Single people have more fun.

Single people are more social. They don't have to pick between their friends and their boyfriends. They also don't have to compromise their priorities. You can pretty much do whatever and whoever you want!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
