Living such a life that is intertwined with so many others, may make it a bit complicated to live at times.

Do you often find yourself moping for not being in a relationship? Or has the idea of being romantically attached to someone been bugging you more often than usual? If your answer to either–or both questions is yes, then guess what: we feel you. Sure, being in a romantic relationship is all the hype these days, and in a way, it puts pressure on those who are currently unattached. You’d want to have someone to hold hands with while strolling in the park, a shoulder to cry on, someone to exchange sweet nothings with, and someone to kiss goodnight.
But while this is an ideal situation for many, we often forget that there’s nothing wrong with being single. Being unattached to a romantic partner offers a lot of opportunities, and rather than wishing for one, you’d opt to celebrate instead, as you are free to explore life and limits, with only your rules and your choices to follow.
There are some things, however that you should stop doing to yourself while you’re single. These are:
1. Being afraid to be single forever.
Girl, you don’t know what the future has in store for you, so stop jumping to conclusions. Maybe you just haven’t found your life partner yet, and who knows, in God’s perfect timing, you’ll find yourself finally settling down.

College life in reality is stressful, there will be a ton of projects that need to be finished on time and a lot of lessons to study. Deadlines and succeeding examinations are here and there and sometimes it is just too hard to handle. However, human as we are, we always tend to procrastinate in doing these things. Thinking that there’s still enough time to do it the next day, or we get distracted over the little things, and perhaps we are just too lazy to do it. So we procrastinate, binge-watch movies or television series, eat, sleep until we forget the deadlines for our school works.
Then comes the hardest part- trying to finish all of your work overnight. You try to study all of your lessons thinking that you will remember it all. Then you get cranky and stressed on the next day because you didn’t get to have enough sleep and you still have to do all your unfinished work at the last minute. Most of the time when we try to finish it, it is not one of our best works.
So why do we procrastinate? For the most part, our reasons for delaying and avoiding are rooted in low self-confidence, lack of motivation, being overwhelmed by the task at hand, fear and anxiety about doing poorly, of looking stupid, of not having control of our outcomes, or perhaps having our sense of self challenged. The point is, procrastination never helps us and it only makes our life more stressful.
That is why here are some effective ways to overcome procrastinating in your college life:
Bitterness does not only happen because of a breakup or when you get dumped by the person you like. You normally feel it whenever you think you are being treated unfairly. Of course, no one wants to feel this way. However, it is an emotion that can easily swallow you up once you don’t feel good about yourself.
So, how can you overcome bitterness or resentment? Can you escape from its poison?
Overcoming resentment is a battle inside you. You’re the only one who can win it. Based on personal experiences, the following ways are proven to be effective in helping anyone who’s being oppressed by resentment. I encourage you to try them.
Losing the person whom your world revolved around for months or years could be devastating. During the first few weeks, you may not be able to eat or sleep. You feel like there’s no more reason to go on in life, and you don’t know how to start living again. If you’re not strong enough, you could experience severe depression or even try to commit suicide — but hopefully, you don’t go this far.
However, no matter how hard you’re going through right now, be assured that the pain will go away. It may take months or years, but surely, time will heal all your wounds.
