14 Things To Do On The 14th Of February

Valentines day is about as useless as the first "R" in February. I've always thought it was more a holiday about love in general than loving a just significant other, but clearly Hallmark and the rest of the consumer driven industry does not agree with me. So here are some things you can do on February 14th instead of feeling sorry for yourself if you're alone, because who really has time for that.

1. Brunch with your best friend. Definitely not dinner because they probably have someone to celebrate a valentines dinner with and you don't.

2. Send your mother some flowers or a plant to remind her that you exist, so maybe you'll actually get a call from her.

3. Make your roommates breakfast. They'll think you were trying to do something nice for them but now so they'll just be forced to clean up the mess you made in the kitchen.

4. Crash your parents valentines date and remind them that you are a product of their love so you deserve to be there too.

5. Buy a box of those valentines day cards that 2nd graders are forced to give to eachother and write the name of a fuckboy you know on each card then burn them/ throw them in the ocean/ out a moving car. Matter of disposal is up to you.

6. Watch a movie with a studly lead and pretend he's professing his love to you and not Rachel McAdams.

7. Treat yo self. By this I mean eat a lot of expensive chocolate and wash it down with a bottle of wine.

8. Go out with one of your guy friends who is also painfully alone. (on this day and every other day) and pretend you're a couple so you don't have to feel the judgement of society anymore.

9. Get out doors and do something active. If you're hyperventilating you can't think about how pathetic your life is.

10. Get a puppy and force it to love you, which isn't that hard. Basically if you feed it, it will love you.

11. Have a massive cheat meal #friesnotguys

12. Send yourself flowers to work so your coworkers think someone loves you, because your mom ultimately forgot about you even though you sent her shit.

13. Get dressed up, slap on some makeup, go out and flirt with some boys.

14. Prepare for all the chocolate you will be eating once it all goes on sale the day after this stupid holiday is over.

If none of this is working for you just remind yourself that this holiday is actually total bullshit. It's just a made up holiday to make people money and you don't really need a day to show your loved ones you care.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

Western New England University

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions.

Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
