(Legit) Reasons to be Single

Okay, before I begin, I know that there are some questions that need answer and explanation so here we go. First off, last week article, which was supposed to be about the program "ETA4" that I love so much was nowhere to be found. Here is what I have to say. So like, there was... aliens... and zombies, everywhere... and like, power rangers. Okay, okay, truth is, I got caught up in a lot of events and couldn't finish it so right now, it's still just a rough draft that I am so going to work on it in a very very near future. No promises though... Next, the reason why this article came before the one about ETA4 is that I sorta have writer's block and just want to write something funny and light-heart right now. Beside, I figure that people would relate to this and kinda forget about me slacking on that article (I mean, I can totally relate to this. I am so single that the hotel won't let me book a double). Without further a due, here are the (totally, most absolutely legit) reasons to be single.

1. Single, but so not ready to mingle.

I hate it when people act like being single is the worst thing. Okay, admittedly, I sometimes (okay often...but not that much...yeah...) complaint about being single but that doesn't mean you can just talk to me about how terrible being single is, and how I'm probably really lonely and going to die. Alone. Forever. Like, excuse you, I'm just not ready to be in a relationship right now. And what do you mean "lonely?" I have no time to be lonely with 18 credits and 3 jobs. Sorry "lonely" but my schedule is tight and you'll have to wait till... maybe 20 years later when I achieved everything that I ever dreamed of.

Speaking of schedule, this is why I am so not ready to be in a relationship. I'm sorry, you're hell of a cute but I just don't have time to go on dates. My dates are already booked with my tutors, instructors, and adviser. Why? Because I have 18 credits and a date, with destiny, the one where I become successful so ciao!

2. I am waiting for the right person.

As you can see, I am a busy, hardworking person who has been slacking on an article for 2 weeks. Therefore, time is precious to me. I can't just go out and date anybody that I find attractive. I mean, I'm not Ted from "How I met your mother." I don't have 9 years to just confess my undying love to a random strangers in New York City (most certainly do not want to torture my kid(s) with a 9 seasons non-stop marathon either). Thus, I would rather take my time on other important aspects of life, like anime and Netflix for instant!

Ted, I love you a lot but you seriously need to chill. What do you think this is? The Bachelor?

Also, think about it, how many of your exes are psychos or secretly a serial killer? Imagine you're watching the new when suddenly your ex's name pops up, being the main suspect of a serious incident. Like, hey kids, I used to date that creepy kidnapper clown... ah good memories...

3. I am in a committed relationship... with myself.

I mean, I have many nice times with myself. I give me treats, games, books and many nice things without spoiling myself too much. Also, I kinda stuck with me so break up is not a viable option either, which is why it's best to just try and value myself. After all, how can you love someone if you don't love yourself? And loving myself means that I respect me enough to wait for the best person, and to spend time doing the things I love. Love yourself enough to be okay with being single, until it is better to be mingle.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
