Valentine’s Day is never really anyone’s favorite holiday. If you’re in a relationship, congrats, you have a special someone to spend it with. But now you’re obligated to buy them a gift or do something out of the ordinary in addition to the other commercialized holidays. And if you’re not in a relationship, well that sucks. A lot. Everywhere you look you’re reminded of love and babies in diapers pointing stupid arrows (what's up with that anyway?). It’s not fun. Thankfully, I’ve compiled a list of 14 other February holidays that are much more worth our time.

1. Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day - 4th

I don’t know about you but this is already off to a great start. The 7-year-old in me is currently screaming for joy at this one.

2. Send a Card to a Friend Day- 7th

The best part about this is that you can send them any kind of card. Tell them how much they mean to you, or how much you hate their obsessive need to control everything. Or even send them one of those extra Christmas cards you still have lying around, the world is your oyster.

3. Umbrella Day- 10th

Maybe it will conveniently rain this day, who knows?

4. Don’t Cry Over Spilled Milk Day- 11th

Toughen up, buttercup.

5. Get a Different Name Day- 13th

Who needs the Witness Protection Program when there's a holiday made just for dual identities?

6. Ferris Wheel Day- 14th

Carnivals?! Yes, I am so here for that.

7. Gum Drop Day- 15th

Candy is ALWAYS a good idea

8. Do a Grouch a Favor Day- 16th

No you cannot do yourself a favor, go out and be a selfless human to someone else.

9. Drink Wine Day- 18th

Do I really have to explain this one?

10. Chocolate Mint Day- 19th

An entire day dedicated to an amazing ice cream flavor and the best girl scout cookies ever?? Count me in. Oh and let’s not forget those awesome after dinner mints you get at Olive Garden am I right?

11. Hoodie Hoo Day- 20th

I had to look this one up, apparently, it's a day dedicated to chasing away the winter blues. Nevertheless, I am 100% here for it.

12. Tortilla Chip Day- 24th

Break out the guac because it’s party time!!

13. Tell a Fairy Tale Day- 26th

Embrace your inner Cinderella

14.Tooth Fairy Day- 28th

Maybe when you wake up there will be some money under your pillow. You may be missing a few teeth though..


There you have it, not only are they 14 holidays that are by far much better than plain old Valentine’s Day, they’re 14 amazing excuses to party.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
