For All The Single Ladies

It's not so bad being single.

For All The Single Ladies

Being single is not so bad, it just means every time you say no to a guy or it doesn’t work out, you’re one step closer to finding the right guy. If you know what you want, don’t settle. You know how you should be treated and a guy should treat you that way if he’s for real. I am no expert and I’ve never been in love or found the right guy yet, but I believe in everything I’m telling you.

Don’t focus on wanting to be in a relationship, enjoy your time being single. Go out with friends, flirt, dance, drink, and enjoy yourself. Do what makes you happy. This is the time to focus on yourself, if you want to get in shape or work on a project you keep putting off, now is your chance! Being single is a time to get to know yourself better and to put your wants and needs first. It is important to be independent and find happiness on your own, you can't rely on someone else to do that for you.

Being single does not mean you are lonely. You have friends and family. Be grateful for the people who are closest to you because they will always be there and care for you. Don’t keep thinking being in a relationship will make your life better. That person is not the missing piece. If you keep putting negative energy out there and are so desperate for someone to come along, people will sense that and it’s a turn off. So stay confident and embrace being independent.

Going on dates and meeting new people is fun. Dating is a time to get to know someone and do new things. Don't be afraid to put yourself out there! Not every date is going to be great, but it's the effort that counts and you never know what will happen when you take the risk. Just always have standards on how you want to be treated because the last thing you want to do is waste your time with a jerk and ruin the dating world for you.

Just remember, when the time is right and the person is right, he will pursue you. He will do anything to get your attention and prove he is worthy of your time. In the mean time, enjoy being single. Do what feels right, never settle, don’t change who you are or the things you want because of someone else, it just proves already that he is not the person for you. Remember to keep busy, have fun, learn new things, put yourself into your work, be passionate about what you do, and things will eventually work out.

All I know is, being single is not the end of the world, it’s all about how you perceive it. And the dating world is never easy, but have fun with it and the right guy will come along.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
