Before you go sobbing, watching the new Fifty Shades and drowning yourself in wine, remember, being single on Valentine’s Day is not too bad. In fact, it’s pretty f*cking awesome. Here are five reasons why Valentine's Day isn't the worst for all the single ladies.

1. It’s a great excuse for a girls night out.

While many girls feel like sitting on their couch with a box of chocolate all night, I say it’s the perfect night to get up, get fleeky, and go out with your best friends. There’s no better way to celebrate being single than with your girlfriends.

2. One word; chocolate.

Who needs a boyfriend to give them a box of chocolate when there’s the nearest CVS? In fact, we all win the golden ticket on Valentine’s Day; there’s chocolate, everywhere. So, grab your friends and every box of chocolate you see. Calories are a lot more fun when consumed with your girl friends anyways!

3. No need to post that classic boyfriend Instagram.

While many people think social media should be off limits for single people on V-Day, I say it’s the perfect opportunity for sarcastic humorists like myself to get together and laugh at all the sappy boyfriend posts on Instagram--maybe we’re really laughing at ourselves, but that’s okay.

4. No need to panic about buying the perfect present.

While many people scramble to find the perfect gift for their significant others, all those who are single can relax and watch the chaos. If anything, treat yourself with those shoes you’ve been obsessing over!

5. A reminder you don’t need anyone but yourself.

While it initially may suck waking up to spending yet another Valentine’s Day alone, it really is not the end of the world. In the end, you don’t need anyone but yourself. So, take this time to practice some self-love. You are your own best friend.

So, this isn’t some type of female-empowering pep-talk. It’s just a little harsh reminder that you're not just single on Valentine’s Day, you're single every other day too. So, don’t make Valentine’s Day an excuse to dwell on your lonely misery. These are the best years of your life to be single, so embrace every second of them!

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
