Despite the many perks of being currently unattached (e.g., no need to shave your legs, extra Netflix watching hours and more time to dedicate to your love/hate relationship with Nutella) it’s safe to say that the single life has its downfalls––especially when all you see around you are grossly happy couples and a plethora of cute, single boys just waiting to be snatched up. It’s not your fault that they just aren’t looking to commit!
Even though we know that you don’t need a boyfriend to be happy, that still doesn’t change the fact that sometimes a girl is just tired of always being the single one in the group. Being single can definitely suck from time to time, but we can’t help but make fun of ourselves for acting like the world will end if we don’t find ourselves a boyfriend. And while we’re all too familiar with the sh*t college guys say, most single girls are known to say the sh*t that’s just as funny when it comes to the never-ending quest to snag that perfect guy.
Chances are, if you’re a single girl in college, you can usually be found saying at least one of these quotes on a daily basis:
- All I want is a cute boy to cuddle and watch Grey’s Anatomy with me. Is that too much to ask for?
- I have a hot date tonight… with my Netflix account.

Even though our nonexistent love lives can make us reach for the Ben and Jerry’s a little too often, we can’t help but laugh at ourselves, because we totally act like this. Maybe our search for a guy who will pay for our fro-yo and watch endless rom-coms with us is at somewhat of a standstill, but at least we have each other!
All the single ladies, put your hands up!
