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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
