8 Things You Can Buy If You Didn't Have To Waste Money On A Valentine

Thank sweet baby Jesus that Valentine's Day is over for another 300+ days. Now that you've suffered through watching other couples be all lovey-dovey at fancy restaurants and show their love for each other through oversized teddy bears and Pandora bracelets, you can finally put that money to use that you saved from not having to spend it on a Valentine. In case you need some ideas on where to blow through your single money, try some of the ideas below.

1. Sale candy from Valentines Day

Half off is great but give it a few more days and it will be 75% off. Just like patience is key in finding love, patience is key in finding the best sales for chocolate. Besides, pink and red wrapped Reese's taste just as good as the regular ones.

2. The new Beyonce album

It's coming people, mark my words. I mean, she is the creator of the single girl anthem so it's only right to buy her album when it's released.

3. A puppy

If you're still really upset that you don't have a life companion, this is the answer for you.

4. An oversized teddy bear

Okay, so I may have hated on people buying this for their significant other earlier, but it's totally fine if you buy one for yourself. Right? Right.

5. A very regular, not heart shaped pizza

It totally looked like there was less pizza in that box for the same price anyway. Single people like us know how to find a good pizza.

6. A very regular, not heart shaped doughnut

Okay, these were cute but totally unnecessary. They would have been better if they were cold, heart shaped doughnuts. Much more relatable.

7. New shoes

Nothing in this world can make a girl feel better than a new pair of shoes. Tennis shoes, heels, flats, boots. There are plenty of fish in the shoe sea.

8. Pajamas

Since you didn't have anywhere to go, chances are you probably stayed in bed in your pajamas. You might as well use some of that money you saved from not having a Valentine to buy yourself a nice new pair. Besides, you'll need them for next year anyway.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

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.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
