11 Ideas for that Special Someone on Valentines Day

For all the men out there that can't figure out what to get that special someone for Valentines Day. I made a list that will hopefully help make up your mind of what to get her.

1. Victoria Secret giftcard

Fun for her and fun for you.

2. Flowers and chocolate

Classic but goodie!

3. Spa day for the two of you

Whats more better then getting pampered with your girl? Watching the smile on her face as she laughs at you in a seaweed wrap.

4. Candle-lit dinner

A more expensive option, but always a good one.

5. Something sweet and sentimental

This can be as little as a mix of all her favorite songs to that diamond rock she was subtle (or not subtlety) hinting at. If I were you, I'd try to pull a Heath Ledger in 10 Things I Hate About You.

6. Tickets to her favorite band or singer

Nothing says I love you like Chance the Rapper tickets *cough*cough*

7. A picnic with homemade food under the stars

Cheesy, but always a winner! Can't go wrong with this one. Stars, food, literally what else could anyone want?

8. A framed picture with something sweet on the front

Think of it as reasons why I love you in letter form.

9. Take her to go play with puppies

Make sure she doesn't leave with one or you will leave with all of them.

10. Love-filled Scavenger Hunt

You can be the final prize! or the location of your Valentine's Day Date!

11. Fill a mason jar with reasons why you love them

Sweet, thoughtful, and kind, trust me she will love it.

Valentine's Day doesn't have to be about a significant other. This holiday is important because its about loving the people around you. So take your mom or grandma on a picnic, or give your dad a jar of the reasons you love him. You don't need to get people expensive gifts to show you care and love them. Its the simple things.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
