4 Reasons Why You Should Play The Field
Huff Post

If you're single and not tied down to anyone that is okay. Being single is fun but you have your freedom to go on as many dates as you want with however many guys you want. Here are some reasons why it is okay to play the field.

1. You get to meet new people.

When you are single and looking to date or just looking for friends you get to meet new people. You get to meet all different types of guys or girls whatever your preference is. You get to know them and who these people are. You may be surprised that the "Jock" that you are seeing is more than a sports fan but deep down he is sensitive and sweet maybe even a secret nerd.

2. You're young

You are young so take that time to meet new people and date who you want. Whoever you date may or sometimes may not be the person you marry. But these people will teach you a lesson and show you what you want or do not want when dating.

3. You get to experience different things.


When you meet these people it is more than likely that they will have different likes and dislikes. When you learn this and one of the likes that he enjoys has been one you have been dying to try you should take that opportunity and do that activity. It's not using them for that it just gives you an excuse to experience different things and connect over one thing.

4. You find out what you like or dislike about a potential date.


By dating (not all at once at different times.. unless that is how you roll) different guys you get to figure out what personality types and other things that you prefer or do not want in a guy. Let's say one guy is a gym addict and a movie junkie and another guy you saw is a huge sports fan and his car is his life and you like guy number one's traits better than number two in the future you would look for guys more like number one.

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
