Good choice, man.
Higher Education. Nothing can take away every bad thought about dying alone as a cat lady better than a thick pile of reading materials and pending papers and reports. Think about pursuing a post-collegiate education. Or at the very least, ponder on the idea of pursuing it. Is that really what you want regardless of whether or not everyone else seems to be going back to school? Can you handle a full-time job and school at the same time? Going back to school may mean less time for everything else that's going on in your life. But on the up side, getting another degree can land you a better job 2-3 years from now. Think about it.
Business Ventures. If you can't have success in the love department, pine for financial success instead. Money may not buy you happiness (in the truest sense of the word), but it sure can buy a crapload of distractions. There's nothing wrong with wanting to add some hard-earned cash into your bank account. The more, the money-er! But let's not discount that having a business is a great learning experience, too.
Hobbies. Everybody needs something that they enjoy doing. Otherwise, the world would be a bleak, boring, meaningless life. That's where hobbies come it. They must serve as bearers of sunshine and fun and meaning. Whether it be something fun and dynamic like Ultimate Frisbee or something more subdued like baking cookies, or sitting down to a good book, what's important about having a hobby is that you like it. Think about the things that you like to do and imagine what you'd like to do with that in the years to come. Who knows? Maybe that hobby could turn out to be a lifelong passion.
Your Job. An important thing that you should think about to begin with since, well, it keeps you alive. But consider why it's an important thing to think about. What was it that Lady Gaga said about a career?
Your friends' love lives. If you can't have your own love life, live vicariously through theirs. Most likely, if they're not sharing their lovey dovey evening plans with you, they're asking you advice about disagreements they've had with their significant other. That will probably be the only time you'll feel good that you're single because you don't have to deal with the drama. But you can generously lend an ear and offer words of wisdom (that you've carefully thought about, of course).

"Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you're wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn't love you anymore."Thank you, Lady Gaga. Point taken. For some people (like me), thinking about a successful career is more difficult and nerve-wracking than anything else, which is probably an even better reason why you should spend more time using your brainwaves for that.
