It’s summer. Your newsfeed is probably filled with couples at the beach, while you are alone on the couch. But is being alone on the couch really all that bad? No. No it isn’t. Here’s why:

1. There’s no one to judge your Grey’s Anatomy marathons

2. There’s no one trying to make you watch something other than Grey’s Anatomy

3. You don’t have to share your food with anyone

4. There’s no one to impress: sweats, messy bun, no makeup, food on the face, all that good stuff is more than acceptable

5. You are free to do whatever whenever without having to report back to anyone

6. You don’t have to shower (you probably should though)

7. You don’t have to plan something for date night (because date night is every night with Dr. Derek Shepherd)

8. Without spending money on someone else, you can use that all on yourself (and your favorite charity of course)

9. Your dog is less jealous

10. You can let your freak flag fly and be as weird as you truly are

11. You feel freer than America on the Fourth of July

So put your hair in a ponytail, grab your favorite snack, and turn on Grey’s Anatomy. Because Derek Shepherd is the only boy you need (besides Jesus of course).
