It’s the end of the year. The air is getting colder. Cuffing season is in full swing. Here’s a musical guide to surviving it, no matter what walk of life you’re on.
For The Lonely
Not everyone is getting into relationships during the colder months. In fact, loads of people spend their time envying other couples. Everyone feels a little lonely sometimes, but that feeling gets heightened by seeking that significant other to spend the holidays with.
But being alone isn’t a bad thing, so don’t get discouraged. They will come, and the timing will be perfect.

There’s those certain people that will always put their own success and happiness before a relationship. These people look at cuffing season as a chance to shine on their own (like every other season). These songs will reassure you that focusing on yourself is okay and even empowering during this time of year.

For The Casual
A lot of people just want flings, especially in college. There’s nothing wrong with that. Sometimes, not getting too involved with people is for the best. Listen to songs that motivate you to keep those casual relationships casual, and don’t get too deep in the lovey-dovey hole.

For The Long Distanced
It’s always hard to be away from your significant other. A lot of couples reunite for the holidays, yet some are left hanging due to distance. Let music remind you that you still have that loved one, even if they’re hundreds of miles away, and the time apart will just make seeing each other again more special than ever.
