You haven't just heard it once, but you've heard it a million times. So called "cuffing season" is upon us, and suddenly everyone is freaking out over being single the closer we get to the holiday season. Instead of sitting around and feeling sorry for yourself, think about all the things you need instead of a boyfriend.

A good night's sleep

A vacation

A snack

Pizza

 A night hanging out with your friends in pajamas

 Brunch

 To start keeping a journal

 A whole box of your favorite chocolate

 A spa-like bath

New lipstick

 A date with your mom

 To play your music as loud as possible

 Ben & Jerrys

 A Mexican food themed night

Giphy

 A nap

 To dance around in your room

 A new Pinterest board

 A new hair do

 Another credit card

 To live your life

 To have fun

The ability to not have to share food

 A date night with yourself

 A picnic

 Taco Tuesday

 A stroll through Target

 To go to a farmer's market

 A new book to read

 A savings account

 To go on a walk

 Concert Tickets

 To rearrange your room

 To purge your closet

 A budget plan

To go grocery shopping

 To take up yoga

 To try new cuisines

 A throwback playlist 

 The confidence to not depend on someone for happiness 

Instead of freaking out as the weather gets cooler, think about the more important things you need than that guy who won't text you back.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
