10 Things You Can Relate To If You're Living A 10/10 Single Girl Life

Your favorite Ellement here!

Let's just talk a minute about the dreaded single girl life. Because if you're single, chances are you can definitely relate to these things 10 things about living your life solo. So pull on your leggings, ladies* and let's conquer this together! Or, at the very least, let's empower each other so it doesn't feel so bad.

You talk to your pets more than people

Let's be real. Your cat/dog/hamster/fish or WHATEVER pet you love and hold dear, has listened to your sob story on more than one occasion (and we both know that you probably are talking to them about this very post... I won't tell).

You have take-out on standby daily

You know those menus those Chinese food places give you when you get carry out? Yeaaahhhh... how many do you have lying around or accessible to you via SS?

You ALWAYS sleep in the dead center of the bed

You don't have to share your space, so why in the hell would you do anything other than sleeping in the middle of your cozy bed. HELLO, more room for activities and comfort.

Dating bores you — or pretend dating

You've got the tinder, the coffee meets bagel, the bumble and meetme... but let's be real af right meow - you are so bored of dudes trying to get in your pants that it's LITERALLY becoming a game.

Your binge-watch everything on Netflix with your pet

You're sitting there watching the new "To All The Boys I Loved Before" for the 10th time in a row - because you can't help yourself.

You've DEFINITELY eaten an entire box of Mac and Cheese with no shame

We don't need to tell anyone they were dino-shaped... unless you want to share with me because I would love you forever.

You watch cry movies & shows because you hate yourself (but also love the pain)

The notebook, party of your feels being sucker-punched in the face.

You've resigned your wardrobe to black leggings and whatever shirt is clean

On the plus side - you don't have to think about your outfits too much. Grab and go baby, you deserve the good life!

Date night for you consists of an entire bottle of vino and a nap

You know what I'm talking about - bubble bath, netflix, an entire bottle of bubbly and the inevitable nap until your water is cold (does life get any better honestly?)

You've forgotten what it was like to share with people

Your food, the blankets when you're cozy and it's cold - the hot water when you shower, and the list goes on and on. Why share when you can have it all? (totes sobbing rn... NBD)

*Note: The term "ladies" is referring to all individuals who identify as females/femmes regardless of their genitalia (FUCK your gender normalities)!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
