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.

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.
