5 Important Things To Remember This Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is around the corner, and everywhere you look you'll see pink, purple and red hearts, oversized stuffed animals and chocolate. Though the holiday does provide for sweet discounts afterwards, the weeks leading up to (and the day itself) are surrounded by mushy gushy acts of love that many people don't want to see. So, nonetheless, here is a list of important things to remember, no matter your relationship status this Valentine's Day season.

1. You are beautiful.

"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139:14

Your happiness should not be defined by your relationship status; you are a beautiful person and just because you're not with someone right now does not mean otherwise.

2. Valentine's Day is just like any other day.

Though many couples will use it as an excuse to show off their relationship, really, Valentine's Day is just like any other day. There's nothing that innately makes it more Valentine's-y than any other Tuesday.

3. Tell your loved ones that you love them.

Though the holiday focuses on romantic relationships, don't pass up the opportunity to tell the other people in your life that you care about them. Text your mom, your friends, your cousins and tell them that you care about them.

4. Remember who you're talking to.

Some are specifically pointed to say that they don't like Valentine's Day, which is completely fine. But you never know who is excited to spend the day with his/her first Valentine. This season, let's remember to spread love, not hate.

5. Show lots of love...but you should do that every day.

Ultimately, Valentine's Day isn't the only day to show love -- it is a mere reminder of the love we need to demonstrate every single day.

Remember these things as you go throughout your day this Valentine's Day!

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.
