Hey. I have a little bit of time to kill on here before class starts and it's been awhile since I made a list on here so just for the hell of it, I'm going to list the pros of being single and the pros of being in a relationship. I think a lot of people take being single for granted, so I guess I'll list the pros for that one first.

SINGLE:

1. It's a lot easier to not give a damn what anybody thinks and just do your own thing because your behavior doesn't really reflect on anybody but you.

2. You're free to associate and befriend whoever you want without another person's opinion of that person being a significant facter in the development (or lack thereof) in the friendship.

3. Likewise, you won't have to put up with anybody's jackass friends or family if you don't want to.

4. One less person to fight with, pure and simple. Relationships usually lead to extremely high emotions and high emotions can lead to a lot of drama if they're not kept in check, which, if you're a sentimental mess of emotions like me, is such a chore.

5. The freedom to flirt with, ogle, and fantasize about complete strangers and not feel guilty about it.

6. It is SO much easier to stay on task and get things done in regards to school and work. (Although then again, I've known people who do better in school and work when they're in a relationship, so who knows.)

Now, IN A RELATIONSHIP:

1. If the relationship is good, you don't get as lonely as you do when you're single and alone in your room, for whatever reason masochistically reflecting upon the all the guys who rejected or abused you in the past. (If the relationship is REALLY good, you never think about them anyway.)

2. There's always, if not most of the time, someone to talk to and kiss and cuddle with. :)

3. The warm, fluttery feeling you get when he (or she) sends you a sweet letter, text, or voicemail.

4. One more person to tell you you're beautiful on days when you don't feel like you are (and, let's face it, we all have days like that.)And, I'm not sqying all girls should depend on a guys (or anyone else's, for that matter) word to feel beautiful, but, hey, it's a nice thing to have.

5. The possibility of hot, passionate, emotional sex (or even near-sex.)

6. The possibility of real, legit, happily-ever-after, metaphysical, worth-it-even-after-all-the-fights-and-commitment-and-tears love.

Obviously, this isn't a complete list, but they're the first six things that came to my mind and I figure if I didn't write them all down now, I never would, so there you do. What are your favorite things about being single and/or in a relationship?
