The Pros and Cons of Being Single

The Pros and Cons of Being Single
unzippedtv

I have been single for a really long time and one part of me wants to feel upset about it, and the other part of me has no worries about it whatsoever. Like everything in life, there are always going to be pros and cons.

Being single does not have to be a bad thing. These are pros and cons of why being single is just as cool as being in a relationship.

1. You can better yourself

Take some time to rearrange your room, get a haircut, learn how to sing and dance without a care in the world. Most importantly, learn to love yourself! You cannot give out love if you do not love yourself first.

2. Neflix and chill, literally!

Oh the joys of not bickering over who wants to watch what on neflix, and you actually get to enjoy the movie without being bothered

3. Being quiet doesn't have to be a bad thing

I'm literally going to keep quiet about this simply because no one asks why you are so quiet. The joys of leaving texts unanswered!

4. You can sleep a whole lot better

No arguments, you'll actually love sleeping alone. On the bright side, you'll have more space in your bed

5. You don't have to fight over blankets

All of the cozy, warm blankets are calling your name!

6. Knowing that there is someone that God has made specifically for you

That person is somewhere. Just have patience!

Cons

1. Seeing oh so many couples in love

Being single feels great until you see cute couples. Part of you wishes you were in a relationship too.

2. Being the awkward third wheel because everyone you hang out with is not single

3. Feeling like you're going to be single for the rest of your life

You won't be, I promise!

4. When you randomly think about the fact that you're single when you have not been thinking about it at all

Stupid emotions.

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.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

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.
