I think I’m the only person unaffected by Prince William’s engagement.  Now, if it was James Franco, there would be some serious mourning going on.

Why Being Single Is Awesome

I’ve tried to write this post for a while, but couldn’t get a list together that was longer than “I DO WHAT I WANT.” So when The Frisky wrote a list today I was uber excited thinking I could re-post and be done. Wrong-o, their list sucks. So here it goes, some of the reasons that I think for now, being single is pretty awesome.

1. Every night is girls night.
2. You do what you want, always. No scheduling, no checking in, just do it.
3. Making out with cutie boys just for the hell of it is super fun.
4. You get to know yourself, what YOU want, what YOU like, what YOU are looking for.
5. Learning to do things on your own. I build my own furniture, cook my own meals, fix things, make things, buy things, clean things.
6. A night at home, in sweats with the TV on and a glass of wine, phone off and just RELAXING is pretty amazing… and can be all the time.
7. You fall in love with other things. Like my bag, or the salad I had for lunch, legit. In love with them.
8. A date night of nail painting and watching Drop Dead Diva with Sammy is way more fun than being forced to watch football and deal with farts. Just sayin.
9. Sleeping in a gross college t-shirt, completely spread out, hogging all the covers and snoring/sleeptalking is totally fine - who is there to get annoyed?
10. You make really really hilarious stories, that are going to be amazing to tell your kids, and grandkids about when you were just a crazy, broke, single 20-something in a city.

Let’s be real, I’m a boyfriend-girl. I love having a boyfriend and being in relationships and yeah, if Prince Charming came along tomorrow I wouldn’t tell him to hit the road because I’m having too much fun for him. But talking to my mom and Aunt who got married young always puts things in perspective. They constantly tell me how much they love my stories, and how jealous they are that in their 20s they weren’t enjoying their freedom. This is the one time in life when you can be single, free, selfish and just DO what you want. No questions asked. If I got a huge job offer in a different city, if I want to take a trip and blow money or just hang out with the girls and make silly life decisions, I can just do it. There’s plenty of time left to be committed to one person, right now doing me is suiting me just fine.

Agreed.  It’s nice having a cuddle-buddy, but being single in your 20s is entirely too much fun.

Yes, this was a client’s official title on an email signature.  Because who wants to get the wrong things done?  Can I work there, puh-lease?!  That is just awesome.

Seriously, one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while.  The more you watch, the funnier it gets… 

Yes, that’s right. 9.02.10.  Being that the original Bev Hills is one of my favorite shows ever, this puts me in the best mood (despite the nasty weather).  DONNA MARTIN GRADUATES!

• ME: I'm eating jello with a knife.
• MA: No spoons?
• ME: Too lazy to get a spoon and I had a knife
• MA: Honestly, you could just be a maverick about it and take it like a jell-o shot. You're pretty good at that.
• Sometimes, I crack myself up.
