I Refuse To Feel Bad About Being Single

There's something sad about the world that we, as humans, feel like we have to be in a relationship to be accepted. Why do we constantly seek that kind of approval from people and society? Why is there such a stigma about single people in today's society? Just because someone is single DOES NOT mean that something is wrong with them. It also doesn't mean that someone is unattractive or that they don't have a good personality, usually it just means that someone doesn't want to be in a relationship and that is COMPLETELY FINE.

Personally, I am single. I'm not even sorry about it. Honestly, being single at this point in my life is the best thing for me right now. I have enough problems on my own, I honestly cannot handle dating another person with problems right now. Some people want a relationship and to have a person to share their problems with, but I have a really great support system behind me I can share that with and that I'm happy with.

Instead of spending all of my time with another human, I can sleep for 18 hours straight. I can also go out on a Friday night if I want to. I can go and be free and not have to answer to someone else about what I do or who I do it with. I don't have to fight with someone about where to go eat, I don't have to fight about who's doing the laundry, and I don't have to worry about texting someone back all the time.

Now, I'm not saying that doing these things are bad or being in a relationship is bad, if that is what you want then HAVE AT IT. But it just isn't for me right now in my life. I'll get to a relationship one day, but right now, it just isn't what I want. If you want to be with someone all the time then do it, I'll be happy for you, but it's just not what I want right now. I am completely happy being single at this point in my life, and I refuse to feel bad about it. My point is, do what you want, love who you want, or don't, it's your decision. Just do what makes you happy.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
