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.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
