50 Things Better Than Having A Boyfriend

Having a boyfriend is great and all, but think of all the other amazing things in life you could be doing instead of looking for a relationship. If you’re single AF, don’t worry. There are so many things that are way better than having a boyfriend.

1. Wine

Drinking an entire bottle of wine (or two) all by yourself.

2. Ben and Jerrys

Phish food B&J > dudes.

3. Sleeping in

Sleeping in late with no obligations or distractions to worry about.

4. Binge watching an entire Netflix series in one sitting

Finishing the entire Shameless series in less than 48 hours is considered to be a talent in your eyes.

5. Finding a new talent.

Discovering that you’re good at something other than sleeping and sex. Who would have known?

6. Drunken taxi rides.

Telling the cab driver your entire life story within the 30-minute drive home. A classic.

7. Advice from your best friend.

She always knows exactly what to say and when to say it.

8. Eating an entire pizza yourself.

Food baby status and no shame about it whatsoever.

9. Buying a new vibrator.

Because they always do the trick and guys don’t.

10. Cheese.

Cheese. Enough said.

11. Wine (again)

Wine drunk > any other kind of drunk.

12. Having an unexpected day off .

And spending it doing absolutely nothing in your bed because you can.

13. Taking your bra off.

Taking off your bra on your drive home from work is the most liberating feeling in the world.

14. Taking your makeup off at night.

The best feeling EVER.

15. Freshly cleaned sheets.

Silk sheets FTW.

16. Bubble baths.

With extra bubbles, please.

17. Lily Pulitzer planners

Worth EVERY penny spent.

18. Getting good grades

And then wondering why I couldn’t be this studious back in High School?

19. Getting day drunk

Day drinking and passing out cold by 7pm. Those are the best kind of days.

20. Dancing the night away

Spending your Friday night dropping it low on the dance floor with your girl is totally worth every single painful blister.

21. Kicking ass in your career

Being a boss a*% bitch and taking names.

22. Shoe shopping

Self explanatory.

23. Makeup shopping sprees

Ulta and Sephora make the world a better place.

24. Victoria’s Secret semi annual sale

8 for $28 panty sale?! I’m there.

25. Eating whatever the hell you want

Not having to worry about being seen naked on the reg. It basically is a passage of freedom to eat anything and everything you want.

26. Having the whole bed to yourself

Being able to sprawl out in your Queen sized bed, like the queen you are.

27. Moisturizing your skin

Getting out of the shower and exfoliating from head to toe immediately.

28. Lazy Sundays

Doing absolutely nothing besides lay in bed on a rainy Sunday.

29. Or Sunday Funday

Spending your Sunday at the bar for happy hour deals.

30. Having a full tank of gas.

It’s an extremely rare occasion, but it’s an incredible one when it does happen.

31. Unplanned road trips.

Driving without a set destination. Music up, windows down, and the open road.

32. Sleeping to the sound of rain

The best sound to sleep to.

33. Spending money on yourself because you earned it

You work your butt off. You deserve the side of guac, even when it costs extra.

34. Wearing your pajamas all day

Laziness at its very finest.

35. Laughing until you cry

Laughing so hard you become a mute and tears start accumulating from your eyes. The best kind of laughter.

36. Fitting into your “skinny” jeans

Finding an old pair of jeans you kept in case they fit you again someday. Winning.

37. Not having to worry what time you’ll be home.

Never having to answer to a nagging boyfriend about where you are and when you’re coming home.

38. Meeting new people.

Getting to know people with similar interests.

39. Food.

When food is life.

And never feeling guilty for it, either.

41. Following through with a plan.

Setting a plan and actually following through with it.

42. Chocolate.

Enough said.

43. Coffee.

You can never have too much caffeine, am I right?

44. Target.

Walking aimlessly around Target and buying a bunch of random sh*t you don’t even need because Target is amazing.

45. Pinterest.

Rearranging your boards on a Saturday night is totally OK with you.

46. Online shopping.

Even if you don’t plan on actually buying anything. Filling up a cart of stuff and clicking X is somehow extremely satisfying.

47. Reading a good book.

Reading because you want to, not because you have to.

48. Trying something new and spontaneous.

Living life on the edge, because YOLO.

49.  BOGO deals.

Buy-1-get-1 deals will always win you over.

Realizing that there’s more to life than worrying about having a boyfriend or finding love.
