Freaking News

There are many reasons to pay attention to politics these days. It seems like every time one turns on the television or logs onto Facebook (and of course, Twitter), politics is all anyone ever wants to talk about. It makes people aggressive, frustrated, and sometimes overwhelmed. Many discussions end in arguments and people just get upset.

Today, is your lucky day. This article has nothing to do with politics whatsoever.

Instead, I have compiled a list of things that you can direct your attention to, instead of the current political climate, and let me tell you, there are many marvelous things in store for you.

10. Alternately, deciding how to NOT celebrate Valentine's Day.

You can just express love for yourself.
