Single and loving it

Last August, I was #drunkInLove and wrote a post about why being having a boyfriend is the greatest thing ever. Single sunshiney Rach here, to counteract that statement.

Why having a boyfriend rocks being single is the better option. As told to you by me.

They are required to clean off your cars from the snow. In the cold. With no gloves. Like shit, am I not independent? It's pretty much known that an independent woman is sexier than one that relies on her boyfriend for all her problem solving skills (at least he was good for math help). Being independent is great, you also don't have to share food

They pretend or learn to appreciate the things you give many craps about. I mean isn't that what blog friends and instagram followers are for?

You can laugh about ugly pictures of you two together from when you were younger/before dating (if applicable) I got nothing for this one. Take shot. And snapchat about it.

You can dress them how you want. LIKE A REAL LIFE KEN DOLL. It's safe to say we like guys who aren't so much mama's boys. They can do their own laundry, cook for themselves, and know to say no to zip off cargo pants. Sure when I have a boyfriend I don't mind spending money on him, but now? It's all about more retail therapy for moi *evil laugh here*.

You now have a reason to give someone pointless DIY crafts. and they accept them. Again, entering blog world has been a tremendous thing in my life because you appreciate the art shenans I get myself into. I wonder where his 9(?) month picture frame I made him featuring a "HAPPY 9 MONTHS I LOVE YOU" is. Trash? Probably. His room? Dear lord, I'd be needing a new pair of pants for that one. Brb, laughing uncontrollably. 

Boom. You now have someone by your side to dance with at frat parties. Or parties in general. THIS IS WHAT A BEST FRIEND IS FOR. You also don't have to worry about jersey turnpiking. Stick to the merp-system.

You can take dumb pictures with them, and people still think you guys are the cutest. Well, atleast thats what they comment........ Being a human in 2014, I can reassure you you can do this with Pluto or Ryan Gosling and it would be considered cute. Boom.

You can see how much you've both changed. Or not changed. Does becoming more cynical count?

You can dance like absolute loons together. and it's still damn cute. Silly relation shipped Rachel, you can do that with a shot of tequila.

They look cute when playing with puppies. and babies. You just can't help but sort of get all googly-eyed and go "awwwwwwwww". Puppies > boyfriends. Seriously, they will love you unconditionally and not break up with you and jump up and down and do wrestling matches with them. 

The best part? They still choose to go near you after you throw up on them. Aka that happened to me in 2010. On a bus. Sitting next to B. Well we broke up, so clearly the vom thing was too close to comfort. CYA!

To my dearest Rachel when she's in a relationship, don't forget about your day 1 homies (i.e. Pizza Lunchables, Chocolate ice cream, and your iPhone portable charger). They really can't ever leave your side (which is a-okay by them), so don't neglect them! Guys will break your heart, tell you you're crazy (...but I'm not Taylor Swift..?), and enjoy your drunk snapchats, but at the end of the day will they be there when your looking for someone to love? LOL no.  Xox, Single (and sort of lovin' it) Rachel.

A humorous post not to offend anyone in a relationship (more power to ya)!
