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!

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
