Why Being Single Isn't That Bad

People always ask me where my boyfriend is, if I have one or when I'm going to find one. When I tell them I'm single and I'm proud, they always give me a look like what? Someone can be single and happy? Well, being single, you can do so many things and here's just a quick look into the single life.

Let your freak flag fly


You can do you — you don't have to continuously have to worry about what someone else is doing and vice versa. Time to go out, have a good time and do whatever you want to do.

You can flirt

Whether you're going out on a Friday night or sitting in class, you can flirt with that cute boy across the room with no regrets.

Farting in peace

You pass that gas and be proud.

Eat all you want

No shame in your game. No guy? No problem — eat all you want and have fun while doing it.

No one to bother you

You can actually have a life without your phone blowing up every 5 minutes wondering what you're doing, where you are and who you are with.

More money for yourself

Think of all the cash you'll be saving to spend on yourself! Just remember — TREAT YO SELF!!

No shaving

As a girl, I think it's our natural right to hate shaving. No guy=no reason to shave.

All the Netflix you could want

Being single is the perfect time to binge watch all your favorite shows or shows you want to watch. Get your pajamas on, put your feet up, and grab some popcorn.

Cuddling with your dog is better

Who needs a guy who complains about his arm hurting or your hair in his face?

Single Ladies is your jam

Beyonce know's what she's talking about.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
