I know that there are a lot of people who want to have that special someone for Valentine’s Day (or is that only in the movies?). I would like to share what it is like to be single and how to really enjoy it because you won’t be single forever. First off, how can I tell you it is great to be single? I have never had my first kiss, first date, first boyfriend, Na-Da. I am as single as they come since I haven’t worried about it before. I also think that being single is great in college since I don’t have to worry about a boyfriend.

I see girls who can’t live without their boyfriends and I sincerely hope that I never become like that because I want to be able to enjoy the time I have alone to read a book, paint my nails, etc. fun things that keep me sane.

So how can you enjoy being single?

Read a good book. You can’t go wrong with it. I am a hopeless romantic though since I do read young adult and romance so I always hope for it but don’t see the need this point in my life for love like that.

Okay, am I losing you? I am just an introvert but if you love to party or have fun go have a girl’s night out with your friends. If you want to do a group activity go bowling or ice skating. Just have fun and do what you love to do. If you don’t know what that is start trying out different activities or go somewhere that you haven’t been before.

Overall, though, I love being single because I never have to be someone I am not and never have to put on a good face when it comes to being in public. I just hermit inside my dorm. Sad, but true.
