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!

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
