The Single’s Playlist: The Pros and Cons of Being Single in College

Under Control x The InternetAcademic Performance

When you’re in a relationship, all you want to do is spend time with each other. Typically, your grades are going to drop because hanging out is way more intriguing than the Calculus homework that’s due the next day. When you’re single, there are no worries of your GPA suffering because you didn’t have to pull an all-nighter studying after being with bae all day. The single life allows you to take the time needed to focus on why you’re here in the first place… to get an education!

Know yourself x DrakeLearning about yourself

It’s kind of difficult to tend to someone else’s needs when you don’t know your own… wouldn’t you agree? College is the time to figure out who you are and what makes you, YOU. Being single grants you more time dedicated to learning about yourself.

Options x PartynextdoorTime to explore

You can take the time to find the right person. There’s no rush to be in a relationship while you’re young and still evaluating your needs. College is the perfect time for trial and error. Explore and wait for the right person who turns your dreams into reality. 

Poppin’ x French Montana, Meek Mill, Chris BrownSave money

As a college student, funds are at a minimum. We barely have money to spend on ourselves, so it’s definitely difficult to support two people with pocket change.  No worries because when you’re single, you don’t have to spoil your significant other; you don’t have one! So while the “cuffed” ones are spending their refunds on their significant others, you can spoil yourself or maybe start paying those student loans back.

Forever Don’t Last x Jazmine SullivanStress Free

You can do what you want when you want! When you’re single, there’s no checking in with someone for confirmation. You can just come and go as you please. You have more time to enjoy the things that make you happy. Also, you don’t have to map out how the relationship is going to function after graduation. Most importantly, you won’t get hurt because you’re not committed to anyone. The single life is less stressful!

Again x Fetty WapLonely

Eventually, it gets tiring seeing couples strolling down the promenade and flaunting their relationships on social media, and you’ll start longing for love. It gets wearisome when you want someone who makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside, but all you have is food.

Where Ya At? x FutureNo more friends

When you’re the single friend, all of your friends in relationships slowly vanish. You’ll find yourself continuously making plans that will get cancelled because of Tyrone. Get use to over eating and binge watching Netflix.

Drama x Roy Woods ft DrakeThird wheel

When time finally comes to hang out with your friends that neglected you, it’s not a girl’s day like you thought. She has turned into them. How wonderful to be around two people who are either too into each other or absolutely despise one another. Awkward.

Don’t x Bryson TillerYour friends try to set you up with people

After a while your friends will get tired of you being “Debbie Downer” and will try to hook you up with people. They will resort to the lowest of lows just to find you someone, giving you terrible advice like, “Maybe you should make a Tinder.” This is the absolute worst part of being single!
