Hey y’all! Today is the first day of the bar exam so Shane has sweetly agreed to guest post for me and I am SO glad she did! Seriously, this girl is awesome and so is this post!
8 Reasons Why It’s Great To Be Single!
As the weather cools down, and the holiday season approaches, those who would normally be single find themselves desiring to be “cuffed” or involved in a relationship. Not this girl!
1. You are allowed to have cereal for dinner and pizza for breakfast
Some nights, I just want pop-tarts and milk for dinner. Some mornings, I crave left-over pizza. This is one of the biggest reasons I love single life. I can eat what I want, when I want, and not answer any judgmental questions.
2. You don’t have a “side” of the bed
My queen-sized bed is mine, unless I choose to share it. I tend to sleep on the side closest to my bedroom door, but most nights, I spread out, arms and legs tangled in the sheets, one end to the other, and I use all of the pillows. Hooray for NOT sharing my bed with a snoring, gassy man!
3. You can smooch as you choose when you are single
There’s nothing wrong with kissing every guy you like, unless of course, you’re married or in a relationship. I love single life because I can flirt with or smooch whomever I want.
4. Flirting is fun!
And by the way, flirting is fun! I love the thrill of the chase, making eye contact and fluttering my lashes at a handsome stranger on the train, in line at the shop, wherever! It’s fun to see how many smiles and appreciative stares I can get on an afternoon when I’m feeling on top of my game.
5. Far less Facebook drama
I can’t even begin to tell you how much Facebook (and real-life) drama there is when you’re in a couple. Your ex’s. His ex’s. Your mutual friends. All of your own little lover’s quarrels. I’m so loving single life because there’s so much less drama!
6. More time with friends
We all need our quality girl time. You get to enjoy it without feeling guilty of leaving your poor man at home.
7. It’s okay to skip a day of shaving when you are single
Or two, or three, or hey why not a week? Listen, if I’m extra-sleepy, or just feeling lazy, I don’t have to take the extra ten minutes in the morning to shave my legs.
8. You don’t have to rely on someone else for your happiness and sense of self-worth
By far the most important. You don’t need a man, strut your stuff and show us what you’re made of sistah!
Thanks so much Shane! I LOVED this post! Now, stop what you are doing and say a prayer for me – specifically that I remember all the law they decide to test today and that if I don’t, God blesses me with some really good BS to write!

I love flirting, not having to share my bed & the whole skipping a shaving day thing!
