Being Single Is Much Better Than Settling

Relationships. It is a scary thing in today's world. At least, I think so anyways.

I have had my heart broken a few times before. However, I have always found a way to heal. Let me tell you though, the getting over it process is not something I would wish on my worst enemy.

As my mom always says, "You will be 'in love' plenty of times before you find the right one." Boy is she right!

The reason I emphasized 'in love' is because some of us are so blinded by a person that we look pass the negative things they do.

It takes losing that person to realize we were never really in love.

With that said, I have recently enjoyed being single. It has allowed me to be more stress free and focus on myself for a change.

I will say, I have been on dates since my previous relationship.

I love meeting new people and making new friends. I have found that going on dates has been a way to meet people and help me see who is all out there.

With that exception, I am not one to just settle for anything or anyone.

The past year of being single has made me realize that being in a relationship keeps things exciting.

You always have a 24/7 person who is down for whatever.

However, being single has made me realize what I really, truly am looking for in someone.

I guess what I am trying to say is don't settle.

You might be tired of being single and want the type of relationship that all of these other couples around you have.

In reality, you need to understand that your 'perfect' someone comes along when you least expect it.

Although you might be tired of waiting, I can promise you it will be so much more worth it in the end.

If you feel that you click with someone after just one date, then give it a try! You never really know until you do.

However, if you are not feeling it from the start, don't try to force those feelings in hopes that something more comes from it.

Even if he seems is the sweetest boy on the face of the earth, some people just have different interests.

Enjoy the single life and let loose. Your 'perfect' person will come along soon!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
