10 reasons being single rocks--really!

  • The Real Deal: Why guys hate shopping
Stop getting green with envy around couples and start appreciating your independence! From girl time to grades and BGFs, there are tons of reasons why you should be loving the single life. 

 

Not having to listen to guys talk about guy things
Do you really care about how many slices of pizza he can eat, how green the grass is on that baseball field or how many letters he can belch in the alphabet? We didn’t think so.

 

No interruptions 
Being single means not feeling like you have to stop and answer his texts while you’re hanging with your BGF, having a dance sesh with your bestie or watching a movie with your fam. 

 

Never missing girls’ nights
Skip out on gossip and makeovers with your girls to watch your boyfriend and his buds play video games all night? Never!

 

Keeping it comfy
Just feel like lounging in sweats today? You’re not trying to impress anyone; go for comfort.

 

Better grades
No boy distraction means more time for school. So put that free time to good use and go for those straight A’s!

 

You can order onion rings
You’re not kissing anyone anyway, right? Munch away!

 

No BGF drama
You can hang out with your BGF without worrying about your BF getting weird or jealous.

 

Cute boys
Spot a cute guy in gym class? Eyeing that hottie in math? Being single means there’s no reason to hold back, so get flirting.

 

Not being ditched for sports
Single gals don’t get ditched for watching the game on TV after they already did their makeup.

 

More time for you!
Being single means less compromising and less sacrificing! Focus on your interests and goals and do whatever you want whenever you want. Ahh freedom.

MOD!@Meghan D.
Well im thinking of converting an old leotard into the top then add on (its black the shade the original is) BUT my mom said we would look at costumes on monday and see if we can find a similar to either. About the scarfs... my neighborhood is like 1 mile big, and ive heard there's creepers on other blocks that walk around. THEN kidnappings have happened here too. Could i sell at school.? Oh i have the EXACT color purple in yarn, i bought it and i could make the acsessories to go with it. I mean that would be ALOT of knitting. Should i give it a shot?

Hey girl,

I would talk to your school principal or a teacher before selling them at school to see if you're allowed to sell stuff there so you don't get in trouble! If you're good at knitting, Halloween is still more than a month away--why not show the pictures to your mom and ask if it would be feasible to finish the accessories in time? Maybe you could make some of them and buy the others.

i'm feeling sad that it seems like all my friends have better lives than me, what can i do to fix that?

Hey girl,

Don't be so hard on yourself, I'm sure your life is great! Try to see the positive things in your life, whether it's family, friends, your favorite subject in school or things you like about yourself. And if your friends are doing something cool, ask if you can tag along!

so this year i wanna make my holloween costume (cuz the characters costume was 86$) and my mom said unless i use things around the house and its free i can. I dont have cash! I have Michaels gift cards and they dont sell fabric. Its black, and i dont have BLACK clothes! And theres a purple version, NO 2 purples are the same in my closet!
P.S im trying to sell some really cool scarves, a lot of girls like them. How should i do it? Please reply ASAP! Thank you!

Hey girl,

If purple works and you have some purple stuff, it doesn't matter if they're not the exact same shade--people will still get the idea! You could also ask your friends if they have any black or purple clothes you can borrow. As for the scarves, talk to your parents and see if your neighborhood would let you have a yard sale or if you could leave fliers on a community bulletin board!

Hey girl,
