12 Reasons Single People Shouldn’t Hate On Valentine's Day

'Tis the season for the obnoxious amounts of pink and red everything at any store you walk into. You can’t go anywhere without the constant reminder of the ever-so-nearing day that celebrates couples all across the country. We all cringe at that moment when a relative or friend asks us about our plans for the big day, as we know it will most likely revolve around ice cream, pizza, and lots of alcohol (depending on your age!). Even so, instead of hating on this special day, it's time for us single gals and gents to accept it for what it is and cheers those couples that have made it another year. Moreover, here are 12 reasons why being single on Valentines day might actually be a blessing in disguise.

1. You save a lot more money since you won't have to worry about the perfect gift or the expensive dinner.

2. You can splurge on something nice for yourself since you won't be spending money on another person.

3. You don't have to worry about working out excessively before the big day because you don't have anyone to impress.

4. You don't have to dress up and worry about trying to be the perfect mix between sexy and classy.

5. This means that it's completely acceptable for you to lounge around in sweats and a sweatshirt all day.


6. And while you're at it, you might as well grab pizza and ice cream to make yourself comfortable because there is no one you have to impress.

7. Let's not forget about the massive amounts of chocolate that need to be eaten. Since you don't have to worry about getting that special crap that comes in the shape of a heart, you can splurge on excessive amounts and believe for that day that calories don't count.

8. You finally get time to have a day dedicated to Netflix and chilling, but this time, you have no other person to distract you from your binge watching of your latest obsession.

9. While you are treating yo' self, do a spa day in your house where you can do nails, a face mask, and other fun treatsies that can make you feel like you could be in a Cover Girl commercial.


10. While you are giving yourself the royal treatment, you get to pour yourself a big glass of some tasty, sweet wine (or juice for the youngsters!) and sit back and relax without the judgment of others. This is one moment where you will truly be living without a care in the world.


11. You won't be getting all nervous trying to anticipate a date. Odds are, your best friend will be sitting right next to you looking just as un-put-together as you are and you most likely will be speaking without any filter.


12. Lastly, even if you don't have a significant other, Valentine's Day can be used as a day for being thankful and appreciative for those best friends you have in your life. Without those special people, you wouldn't be who you are today.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
