As I was sitting on the futon, watching an episode of Friends (yay for Friends), I realized how much time I had on my hands today. It was quite wonderful. I finished my homework right after I got done with classes and so by 6:00, I had absolutely nothing to do.

 And since I had absolutely nothing to do, I made some time to just think. And so between episodes of absolute hilarity, I thought.

Which brings me to the actual point of this blog. Yeah, it isn’t really about Friends (although someday I would like to devote an entire 3 page blog entry to that genius idea of a show and its humor that is applicable to everyday life.)

I was thinking about being single. And how much I like it. It’s relaxing to not have to worry about whether your hair is frizzy or not… whether your breath is awful or not… You don’t have to take a half an hour to an hour out of your day for phone calls. You don’t have plan what to wear on dates. You don’t have to worry about a boyfriend being angry about you talking with other guy friends.

I may tell myself this in order to keep from getting lonely…

But the thing that is really great….the thing that I don’t have to convince myself of… is the fact that  I just have time. I have time to sit down and have a Friends marathon with my bag of Craisins. I have time to go to Starbucks with the girls on my floor. I have time to study. I have to time to read books just for fun. I have time to sit and talk to my friends about absolutely nothing at all and everything at the same time.

And most importantly… I have time to spend with God. I have time to focus on my relationship with the Lover of my Soul.

So when my roommate makes plans to go hang out with her boyfriend, and I get this twinge of loneliness…..I remember that my time will come. haha. Soon she’ll be jealous of me and my super-hot boyfriend. Just kidding. Anyway. Seriously. I’m happy for right now. I’m  content.
