10 Reasons Why Valentine's Day Is Overrated

Oh, the dreaded Valentine's Day, a lonely girls worst nightmare. Although some may love it, for most, we've seen better holidays.

1. It's the "season of love."

That's not gonna work. Bae better be loving you everyday.

2. It's overly commercialized.

Pretty positive no one's preparing a month and half in advance, so who knows why the Russell Stovers hit the grounds January 1st.


3. It burns a hole in your pocket.

Roses go from 10 to 26 dollars in the course of a week.....

4. It's for Basic b****es.

Oh you got me a teddy bear and some chocolate? How thoughtful.

5. It kills the Spring Break diet.

And what real boyfriend would ever want to do that to you..


6. Boys are the worst.

This, we already knew. Sometimes they just try to hide it.

7. It's full of show offs.

Candlelit dinner? Tiffany bracelet? Well of course you have to post it on Instagram with a #bestboyfriend tag!!!

8. And fake romantics.

Their one night of the year they put in a bit more effort than usual. Things will go back to normal on the fifteenth, at least it was good while it lasted.

9. It never ends as you hoped.

It's a very stereotypical holiday, one with far too many expectations and obligations.

10. It reminds you you're single AF.

Looks like it's date night with the dogs tonight.


But still, chocolate and flowers would be greatly appreciated. Please and thank you.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
