Five Reasons Why You Should Love Being Single

keepcalmandposters

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!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
