9 People You Should REALLY Be Showing Love to This Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is enjoyed by few and dreaded by many of us. There is always such an emphasis on sharing the day with your significant other by buying them flowers or chocolates that it kind of makes me sick. It’s like Cupid’s arrows are only meant for romantic relationship, but I don’t believe that’s what that fat baby wants. So, buy a cheesy Valentine’s Day card for your best friend or buy a box of chocolates for your mom because it’s the day to celebrate love, and not just celebrate being in love.

1. Moms.

This woman is a saint. She does everything she can to make sure your life is easy 364 days a year, that you can make the sacrifice to simplify her life for one day. She loves you unconditionally, no matter how many times you use the money that was meant for bills on online shopping.

2. Grandparents.

Shout out to those grandparents slipping you 20 bucks that you definitely “won’t spend on ‘bad things’ this time.” They brag about you to all of their friends and make you look one hundred times better than you really are. Just give them a call today and let your grandma tell you about all of the issues she's having with her new phone.

3. Aunts.

She’s close enough to you to love you and buy you great birthday gifts, but not so close that she gets upset about last semester’s grades. It’s a win-win for both.

4. Best Friend.

Honestly, she might deserve the most love out of anyone. She truly handles you at your worst, and deserves you at your very best. Send her a dozen roses from “Michael.” She’ll love it.

5. Roommates.

Let’s face it: You’re a nightmare dressed like a daydream majority of the time, so you’re lucky they don’t hate you yet. Give them the real gift they really want today: wash your own dishes.

6. Pets.

You can always count on these guys to be happy to see you, even if you’ve only been out of the room for five minutes. Also, we all have to admit that we treat them like people anyways by including them in Christmas cards. They love cuddling, so this Valentine’s Day, throw them a bone, literally.

7. Dads.

This guy seriously pays for you to go out every weekend and you can’t even give him some love today? C’mon, we are all better than that. Just send him a text that says, “You’re pretty cool.” They don’t need expect much.

8. Big/Little.

Your Greek family listens to your every complaint about anything and everything. They’re perfect in every single way, so buy them their favorite Starbucks drink. They are most definitely in need of it after the week they've been having.

9. Yourself.

IT IS TOTALLY OKAY TO LOVE YOURSELF. In moderation, of course. Treat yo’ self today and eat that red velvet cupcake.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
