Yes, having a significant other is great and all. However, the single perks are absolutely worth some of those "in your feels" moments. I am not a bitter single person, in fact, I quite enjoy it. This is meant to be humorous. Enjoy!

1. You don't have to share.

Covers, food, money, time, gas, you name it. It is singularly yours. And it is a great concept of life.

2. Holidays are cheaper.

Just think about it. Less gift buying. Being giving is great, but saving those extra dollars here and there will make up for the fact that other people have cute Instagram posts.

3. More time for self care.

This is not to say that while in a relationship you have no time to care for yourself. It's just that when not in a relationship, you have more time to do and might get better at it so that you are capable of maintaining as life goes on.

4. All food/activity decisions are made by you.

No need for this age-old argument/ discussion. If you want something, you don't have to ask your significant other for their opinion. You can just go for it!

5. You don't feel any sense of guilt when going out.

GIRLS NIGHT OUT (or boys) EVERY NIGHT! Too many times have I had friends who can't go out because of their significant other. Again, when in a relationship you can still hang out with friends. BUT when you're single, you have absolutely no guilt in going out and having fun without your SO.

6. Singular schedule.

Your plans are based on you and you alone! No need to worry about working around someone else's schedule. It is all on you and you get to make the decisions for how your time is spent.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
