Some people think being without a significant other makes them a complete loner, but I am here to tell you there is so many good attributes that come with being single! Here are a few great benefits of the riding solo life.

Time for Yourself

Every person needs time to enjoy life on their own. This is the point where you can reach out and discover your own personality. You get to find out the things that make you happy and also find out the things that really tick you off. You get to do anything you want and make decisions only for yourself.

Get to Spend More Time With Your Friends

Usually if you gain a significant other, you have to spend less time with your fun and kooky friends. If you are single, you can pretty much spend as much time as you want with them. You do not have to worry about trying to please both parties or being fought over.

You’re Not Tied Down

Being single means you are on the market right? This means you can go out on a Friday night and run into an attractive person, and you can totally flirt with him. Without the strings attached, you are free to just get out and be your crazy self around anyone. You also get to meet a variety of people, which in return, gives you an opportunity to find out what kind of people you mesh with well.

You Don’t Have to Shave

That’s right, you see it. You do not really have anyone you want to impress. So, who cares if you have hairy body parts? No one, you can feel free to rock the nasty unkempt beard or flaunt the prickly cactus legs. Either way, it is ultimately whatever makes you comfortable.

You Can Wear Anything You Want

Like stated previously, you are not trying to impress anyone. If you want to dress lazy and wear sweat pants, go for it! If you want to dress classy with a suit and tie, do it! Let say you want to wear that slim, sexy, red dress you’ve got tucked away in your closet, wear it! It is your decision and no one is going to challenge your own individuality.

You Can Jam to Songs About being Single

Many celebrities have written songs about the joys of being single. You can pretty much listen to those on repeat. For instance, when you go on a road trip with some of your closest friends, you can blast these kinds of songs and sing along. Some of the songs are: “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” by Cindy Lauper, “Single ladies” by Beyonce, “It’s my Life” by Bon Jovi, “Single” by Natasha Bedingfield, “I Don’t Wanna Be in Love” by Good Charlotte, "Ridin’ Solo" by Jason Derulo, “U + Ur Hand" by P!nk, and many more.

With that said, go out and get your dance on. Enjoy your freedom while you have it!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
