4 Ways To Treat Yo' Self This Valentine's Day
Best Day Ever Banners

Valentine's Day is the most romantic day of the year. Unless, you know, you happen to be single. Even if you enjoy being on your own, it can be a little nerve-wracking to see all of the happy couples celebrating their love so conspicuously. If you think you don't have somebody to love this Valentine's Day, just remember you always have yourself. Here are four ways to "treat yo' self" this Valentine's Day.

1. Celebrate Galentine's Day

What better way to enjoy one Parks and Recreation reference than by celebrating another? Take your closest gal pals out to dinner, a movie, or just have them over to exchange small gifts and sip some wine. Sometimes there's nothing more enjoyable than the company of your best friends.

2. Buy Yourself a New Outfit

Everyone tends to get dressed up for Valentine's Day. The pink dresses and heart earrings come out for dinner with that special someone. But since you're a strong, independent single, you don't need anyone to dress up for but yourself. So go ahead and buy that snazzy new outfit, you deserve it!


3. Take Yourself Out on Your Dream Date

Have you always pictured a romantic night stargazing or a picnic watching a sunset? Maybe you just dream of going on a date where nothing goes wrong. The beauty of being single is that you can make that happen, without any of the nasty disappointments that go along with being in the presence of another person. This Valentine's Day, treat yo' self to a nice night out.


4. Discover Self Love

Learning how to love yourself is one of the hardest things to do. Sometimes we feel like we need the validation of others in our lives, but in reality, we don't. It's so important to know how to accept and appreciate yourself. Of course it's nice to have someone to hold and cherish on Valentine's Day, but always remember that at the end of the day, you're all you have. Take care of yourself and watch your self-esteem soar.


Around this time of year, it's easy to get caught up in the longing for a significant other. It honestly can seem like this holiday is out to prove to us just how alone we really are. This Valentine's Day, be sure to treat yo' self because you're a strong, independent single that doesn't need no S.O.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
