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.

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.
