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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
