5 Reasons You Should Feel Bright On Saint Valentine's Day
Suvan Chowdhury

ENOUGH with your foul accusations, and cruel assassinations on the character of Saint Valentine's day. TRULY!

Every single (pun intended) Saint Valentine’s Day there's someone who complains about how the day breaks their heart- How there's a gaping hole in their lives and this holiday is a mere reminder to them of it.

That is particularly why I've drafted a list of reasons to enjoy the holiday for anyone:

1. If you're taken

See what I did there?! In all seriousness- good for you. Haters will say that EVERY day should be Saint Valentine's, but that's an absolutely rubbish notion. Pink will go out of style too quickly! Also, it's a fact that not every day will be happy, perfect, or romantic- but this day of all the days of the year should be. Enjoy your love and celebrate it.

2. If Saint Valentine's isn't going as well as you expected

Did you really think this was going to be an only-happy list?

Sometimes, for Saint Valentine's we might end up with someone we aren't the happiest with. Sometimes it's not the most magical of days. That's okay too.

Well no, it's not. Don't feel so alone! Cuffing season peaks at around February (Huffington post even made some cuffing season graphs to prove my point!) and you wouldn't be alone. To that I say, I'm sorry, and I hope you reignite your spark on this wonderful day.

Or not.

3. If you're single

You have a choice to decide whether you're going to complain and hate on others, or be glad and happy for others and write an article telling people not to hate on Valentine's day. Truthfully, the choice is yours.
Valentine's Day can also be a chance for you to drop a hint for someone you fancy OR get in those swell sales that happen at donut shops or what not. If that doesn't make you feel better, remember everyone will eventually die and be alone! Maybe you got out of a relationship and don't want one, or something along the lines of that story- your feelings of missing out are valid, but don't let them get to you.

4. If you're in between

A Saint Valentine's day is a GREAT time to go steady with someone you've been seeing on and off. Remember, a relationship isn't a remote control, it can't switch between off and on!

5. If you like to complain

Regarding "Saint Valentine's day is too materialistic", "every day should be saint valentine's day", "people need to stop lambasting about their S/O and how in love they are"...

I think we've all done that regardless of our relationship status at one point or another because it's simply easy and entertaining to criticize something. Most things said aren't useful, they teach or accomplish nothing. Why be a cloud when you can be a ray of sunshine, honestly!?

Moral of the story: let people enjoy things. Let people love each other.

If you see someone unhappy- try to make their day (watch their favorite film with some ice cream or something!)

Most importantly,

Don’t cry because you’ve got no one to moon over- for you, you are a star.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
