Reasons Why I'm Glad I'm Single

It's easy to get the no-boyfriend blues. Sitting at home, wishing you had a snuggle buddy, really makes you yearn for that male companion. But I would like to take this moment to rejoice in NOT having a boyfriend, because I've thought of a lot of reasons why it's better to be single:

You're only responsible for yourself, only yourself.
Life is pretty tough in your post-graduate year/early twenties. I have a hard enough time figuring out what I'M going to be doing next. Imagine having to plan with someone else.. BLAHH.. I rather not.. Therefore, I am very glad to have to only plan for my future, and not OUR future.

You're not ashamed of all the trashy reality shows you watch.
Teen mom? check! Real housewives? double check! Bridezillas? oh, you betcha! nothing beats being able to have a round up of your favorite vag-tastic reality shows and not hear any criticism. If I got patronized every time I tried to watch Teen Mom's Farrah say something stupid, then that would just take all the fun out of watching my trashy shows. Which leads me to my next point..

Full remote control access
Nothing is worse than having a man commandeer the remote to put on lame sports/ shoot-em-up shows all day. I like sports and guns a little bit, but only if I am multitasking/ drunk.

Every night is fun night when you're single
It's true, every night IS fun night when you're single. You can do whatever you want! And you won't have any one guilt tripping you on the other end, saying you should be doing this, or you should be doing that. I make my own decisions!

The bed is all mine.
I don't know about you but I loooove to sprawl out in my bed. I've actually had guests complain about my bed hogging when they sleepover. Oh well! My bed is my sanctuary and no one else's, and if that makes me a selfish bitch, then so be it. My bed loves me back.

I've seen what's out there..
No offense to any of my friends who are in relationships, but by the looks of things, the grass isn't really greener on the other side. Yes you have that great companionship and all, but a lot of the boyfriends I witness/encounter aren't my cup of tea. So therefore, I rather be alone than bound to a man who isn't even that great to begin with...

The world is MY oyster.. and I intend to explore it...
The adventure is mine! Think of all the possibilities you have before you as a single gal. You don't have to have anyone else in mind. Trip to Bali? Okay! New Years in Miami? I'm down! The only person you have to think about is yourself, and that, my friends, is what I call freedom!

I would really love any comments from anyone who agrees/disagrees with my post.
