10 Truths About Being Single On Valentine's Day As Told By The Cast of 'Friends'
Vignette

Valentine's Day is just one of those holidays where it feels like the world is just aching to remind you that you are alone. While not having someone to love can be kind of sucky at times, it can also be kind of liberating. Here's a couple of truths about being single on Valentine's Day. And of course, I had to use Friends because, hello, what else would I be watching while I enjoy Valentine's Day from the comfort of my bed?

1. This is the one day of the year that makes you think back on all your past relationships

2. Unfortunately, you might have to be the one to buy yourself chocolate and flowers (there's nothing wrong with a little self-appreciation)


3. You might decide that trying to reconnect with an ex-boyfriend is an okay idea (ABORT ABORT ABORT)

4. You have the complete freedom to dress up and party with your single girlfriends...

5. Or stay in for the night and chill with some Netflix


6. The amount of love in the air may seem a little suffocating at times

7. You may feel the urge to have a little pity party


8. You have the liberty to watch the Lifetime movie marathon because, let's get real, those movies are the best

9. With all the money that you don't spend on gifts, you can dive into a little retail therapy

10. At the end of the day, you may not be in love at the moment, but you're in love with the life you have been blessed with and that's all that matters

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
