PSA: Valentine's Day isn't just about you showing off how romantic your boyfriend is... but yes, I still liked the Instagram of you two.

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.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
