Let's get one thing straight, being single is not the worst thing in the world, but apparently, some of you can't be without a significant other. I'm here to tell you why it isn't bad to be single because, newsflash, you don't need a relationship to be happy.

1. You don't have to worry about making sure you reply to someone

Texting takes A LOT of time, and so do phone calls... No partner, no problem!!

2. You can basically do whatever you want

Giphy

I'm not saying go and sleep with the entire world, but you can talk and meet as many people as you want. You don't have to worry about hurting your S.O. by flirting or talking to anyone else.

3. You don't have to worry about anyone getting mad at you

Giphy

Fighting with anyone sucks, but fighting with your significant other is worse, especially if what the fight about is 'stupid' to the other person, they don't care.

4. You can work on yourself

Giphy

You can concentrate on improving yourself mentally and physically, both of these are important to maintain in your body. Compromise is important and all but you have the freedom to figure out what you really want for yourself and go out and live it.

5. You can sleep peacefully and quietly

Giphy

Don't like being kicked in the middle of the night or having no covers??? No worries, you're single!!!

6. You can stay in touch with friends

Giphy

These major life decisions require the sacrifice of free time and personal freedom. It's hard to find the time to do much when you have a partner to consider. If you aren't ready for such a commitment, then singlehood might be for you.

7. You can avoid settling for a bad match

Giphy

It's easy to settle for a bad match when you're feeling lonely, don't let the devil stray you away.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
