If you have ever found yourself typing into Google "What to give your boyfriend for Valentine's Day," you've probably come across some strange lists including jetting off on a romantic vacation, buying a useless gift or giving yet another bottle of cologne. While these options are nice if you can afford them, most guys are looking for simple tokens of appreciation on Valentine's Day. Here are 10 things your boyfriend truly wants this February 14th!

1. Candy

You know the candy your bae will gobble up in .5 seconds? Yea, definitely give him that. Sweet treats are a quick and easy gift no matter who you're giving it to. All types of chocolate are easily available in most stores and if your Valentine isn't the chocolate type, opt for their favorite candy!

2. Home made presents

Let's face it, we aren't all DIY gods, but if there is one thing that shows how much you care for someone, it's homemade items. Whether it is something as simple as a card or as elaborate as a scrapbook, the time and thought is what counts. Plus your boyfriend secretly loves cute things you make him.

3. Dinner

Who made dinner plans a guy's job anyway? Food is truly a gift that we can all bond over. Going out for a meal or cooking together means you get to spend part of your day with your boyfriend and enjoy a great meal.

4. Baked goods

You may have noticed food is a trend here. I personally love baking cupcakes or brownies for people on special occasions, and nobody ever resists home cooked treats!

5. A hobby-related item

Does your boyfriend take hours to respond because he's playing video games? It doesn't mean he's ignoring you. He just loves his game almost as much as you. If you have a little extra cash this Valentine's Day, consider getting your boyfriend a gift that relates to one of his hobbies, it shows you really do listen when he talks about things he loves to do.

6. A physical picture of you two

1-hour photo printing? Does that even exist anymore? Yes, yes it does. Most of our photos live on our phones or computers now, but there is something special about having a print out of your favorite pictures. Give your boyfriend a picture of the two of you to put on his desk or a cute wallet sized selfie that he can carry with him.

7. A heartfelt note

If you are like me and struggle to say lovey, mushy things in person, try writing them down. Nobody objects to compliments and hearing what makes them special, so write your boyfriend a nice note or get creative and put it into a poem.

8. A quick trip

You don't need to plan an international vacation across the world to travel. Doing something a little out of the ordinary can make Valentine's Day fun. Hop in your car or on the bus and look up somewhere close to go such as a beach or park.

9. Love

Those three words might seem scary, but it sure feels nice. Love is such an easy gift to give, and chances are you already have it! Express your love for your boyfriend in your own unique way, even if it's just saying "I love you" a few extra times throughout the day. He will surely appreciate your endearment.

10. Time

We live in a busy world and spending quality time with our significant other can be hard. I think most people would agree that getting to spend time with their special someone on Valentine's Day is the most important. So make some time for fun a fun outing or an evening of being lazy and enjoy each others company!

Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret.

Everybody hurts sometimes.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
