The Pros Of Being In A Relationship VS. Being Single
JustLikeThat

You ever just wake up one day and think "Man, I love being single"? or "I would really like to be in a relationship"? It's okay to feel that way and I speak for myself when I say that there is nothing wrong with being single or in a relationship. Here are the pros of being in a relationship and being single.

Being in a relationship:

PRO: You will always have company. When you are in a relationship you will always have someone to call and to hang out with so you will not feel so lonely.

PRO: Being in a relationship helps improve your self-esteem. When your partner makes you feel good about yourself it is definitely a bonus to your ego which in turn improves your overall life.

PRO: Your lifespan will increase. There is substantial evidence proving that being in a long-term relationship will reduce your anxiety and blood pressure therefore, adding more years to your life.

PRO: You can be rolling in the cash. It is true that long-term and married couples are wealthier because the sharing of two incomes while divorced and single adults acquire less accumulation.

PRO: Being taken care of is a huge factor in relationships. The thing is, not everyone is equal in a relationship depending on personality differences so either the woman or the man will always be the one to make sure their partner is taken care of physically and emotionally.

PRO: The intimacy of another person beside you whether it is sex or just sitting with your special someone by the fire watching re-runs of "Supernatural" is a major pro.

PRO: Someone will be around to always help out. If you need help moving some furniture around or need a ride because you do not have transportation then that is a plus.

Being Single:

PRO: You can do whatever you want without having to consult with your partner first. If you want to go on a trip with your best buds you wont have to think about staying. Girls: If you want to watch The Bachelor without hearing him complain you can. Guys: You can watch ESPN whenever you want!

PRO: You have the power to weigh your options. If you want to date a few guys a week go ahead, no judgement. If you feel like flirting with the valet or the bartender go for it and have a little fun.

PRO: Being single is a great time to focus more on your goals. What you want in life, career goals and just doing what makes you happy before that full commit.

PRO: You can wear what you want! Have you ever been in a relationship and worried that you didn't have panties to match your bras. Or have you either thought to yourself that you do not feel like shaving or waxing today and you just want to skip it? Well, you can and no one will care.

PRO: You get the whole bed to yourself. Some days you just want to spread out and sleep alone. No one wants to worry about a partner sleeping over, stealing the covers, hogging the bed, and snoring.

There you have it. You decide what you are in the mood for. Do you feel like diving into a relationship or enjoying the single life?

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
