10 Things To Expect When You're Not Expecting Any Dates

Some of us are just perpetually single, whether it's because our standards are too high, our personality is an acquired taste, or because we are crazy brats. The fact still stands that there are certain things, facts of life, shared experiences and emotions that only the perpetually single can truly understand, ten of which are listed below.


1. When your parents try to sell you to guys.

And all you can hear is:

"Oh yes, well my daughter Abby is a writer and a nursing major. Also, she comes with 2 goats and a cow...good deal...many babies."


2. So, why don't you have a boyfriend?

I JUST CA'NT DECIDE FROM THE PLETHORA OF MEN WHO FALL AT MY FEET BEGGING FOR MY AFFECTION.


3. When you see the cute guy you have been crushing on.


4. When you see said cute guy's girlfriend.


5. When your friend sees the cute guy.


6. When the cute guy breaks up with his girlfriend.

HI!


7. Knowing that guys know you exist but seem to forget that you're female.

EHH...well y'all are missing out on this hunk of pure feminine perfection.


8. Having crazy imaginary relationships.

Theodor, Henry, Rosemary, and Titus Gladwin.


9. This question is a constant.


10. But also realizing that being single can be a blessing in disguise.

While all your girlfriends are on dates or crying about failed relationships you're over here studying and getting good grades!

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
