Q: Everyone around me is seeing someone or is in a relationship. What are a few things that a single girl can do to not feel completely lonely?
A: As an outsider looking in, having a boyfriend may seem like all a girl needs in college. It’s a person to rely on, to cuddle with, to take cute Instagram pictures with, and to call your best friend. But let’s face it, collegiettes – you’re most likely reading this because you don’t have a boyfriend, so stop fantasizing!
People tend to feel lonely when it comes to being single because they’re only thinking about the pretty side of relationships, or the kind of relationships we all see in movies. What about the ugly side also known as reality? Being in a relationship means that you have to include someone else’s feelings into your decisions, which is something you don’t have to worry about right now.
Therefore, who said being single had to suck? It’s a time in your life where everything is about YOU. You have the time to dedicate all of your energy towards bettering yourself, the relationships you have with your family and girlfriends, and your schoolwork. When you’re content with yourself, it shows, and nothing is sexier than a girl who is confident and stands on her own.
