College is one of the best times of your life. Whether you choose to date someone during the ride or not will not change that fact. On the side of rolling solo let’s cover 4 important perks of being single in college.
1. More Time
Don’t want to choose between a lunch date and studying? You don’t have to! Want to spend the entire night finishing that book you just can’t put down? Or every season of Breaking Bad on Netflix? Or your entire board of recipes on Pinterest? Go ahead. Do it. All of it.
2. More Comfort
Ladies, don’t be afraid to go on a shaving hiatus until spring. Do you understand how much time this will save? While you’re at it, wear literally whatever you want without having a somewhat significant other pester you on your appearance. “Really? You’re wearing that?”
3. More Freedom
Hang out with anyone you want. Talk to anyone you want. Flirt with anyone you want. Dance with anyone you want. This is the perfect time to meet different kinds of people and figure out what kind of people you like spending time with.
4. Find yourself
I left the most important one for last: figure out who you are. It’s easy to get wrapped up in a relationship and become “John Smith’s Girlfriend” or “Jane Doe’s Boyfriend” and forget who you are. The most important perk of being single is to learn how to be completely self-reliant and comfortable with being exactly who you are by yourself without having to define yourself or determine your worth based on your significant other.
