If you're like me, you LOVE Valentine's day! However, sometimes the good old dinner and a movie gets boring. This year, I decided that I want to do something different with my boyfriend for Valentine's Day. Here are a few of the ideas I came up with.

1. Go To Painting With A Twist

If you don't know what that is, it's basically like taking a class with Bob Ross. An instructor shows you how to paint, and you follow along and create a masterpiece.

2. Plan your future together

This one might only be for long term couples, but sometimes it's nice to just talk about what you want together.

3. Stay in with a movie

Whether it's a romantic one or not, sometimes staying home and watching movies with your significant other is the best thing to do.

4. Go on a group date

For a change of pace, but still a classic date, try going out with other couples.

5. Make something together

Whether you simply paint together or make a project, crafting together is always fun!

6. Volunteer together

Doing good for someone else together is a great way to spend your day! It will give you great memories for years to come.

7. Go to an arcade

Spending time at an arcade is an innocent, fun thing to do together.

8. Go to a trampoline park

Find the closest Sky Zone (or something similar) and go jump your heart out together!

9. Go ice fishing

Or if you're lucky enough to live where it's warm in February, go regular fishing!

10. Wine or beer tasting

If you're of the age, going wine tasting, or craft beer tasting is always a good option!

11. Get a couples massage

Relaxing together with a massage will set you up for a nice stress-free day together.

12. Play video games together

Sometimes mixing it up with some good old competition is fun! I recommend Mario Kart!

13. Cook dinner together

Whether it's taco's or a five-course meal, cooking together is so fun and a great way to spend your day.

14. Stay in bed all day

If all else fails, staying in bed and relaxing all day is always a good option!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
