#SingleForLife: 50 Thoughts Every Happily Single Girl Has During Cuffing Season
Ah, it’s fall again. The time of year where the air is crisp, the concoction of caramel and pumpkin is afloat and the leaves are beginning to change.
There’s another thing that comes along with this wonderful interim between those stifling days of summer and bitter snows of winter; something other than Halloween, cozy sweaters and apple picking.
What am I referring to, you may ask? Cuffing season. Fall is also the time of year when people start to realize that those wild sexual escapades of summers passed are no more, but will instead be replaced with Netflix and Seamless.
For whatever reason, this is the time when panic sets in and everyone decides to couple up, desperate not to spend the dragging, freezing months ahead, alone, with last night’s Chinese food.
But, believe it or not, not every girl is looking to find a hubby and kick those single girl days to the curb. There are some girls who aren’t willing to change their relationship status just because they’ve flipped their calendars. Some women prefer to be hauled up in bed with hard cider and their boyfriend, Lip Gallagher.
It can be tough for certain wifed-up friends to understand this mentality -- how on earth can you be happy when you’re alone, right?
Here are 50 thoughts that go through every happily single girl’s mind during cuffing season.
1. Why does every single person have a boyfriend right now?
2. Am I insane?
3. Do I want a boyfriend?
4. Ew, no, I definitely do not want a boyfriend.
