It's Actually Amazing To Be Alone On Valentine's Day
Huffington Post

Single on Valentines Day? Sure it really does suck being alone on any other holiday but this day was made for love and couples. Don’t let it get to you.There are several reasons why it’s amazing to be unattached on this lovely day.

You have an excuse to go hang out with your single friends

Go watch the new fifty shades darker in theaters with your other single friends, wait a few days after February 14th for those amazing deals on candy, or even spend the day watching cheesy Rom-Coms on Netflix.

You’re going to save money

This romantic holiday can get very expensive with the flowers, gifts, dinner date, and the occasional sexy lingerie, instead spend that money on yourself and pamper yourself guilt free.

You’re not the only one alone on this Valentine’s Day

Just because you’re not with anyone special doesn’t mean you should settle for less just so you’re not alone. There are so many single people on this day, so go out and meet up with someone, don’t sit at home and be miserable all alone.

Dinner dates aren’t all that and a bag of chips

There’s a lot you have to do for dinner dates, you have to make a reservation, get ready, buy a nice outfit, buy dinner, while instead you could be binge watching your favorite show on Netflix in sweatpants and inhaling all the chocolate in sight.

All of the sales at the end of the season, HALF OFF CHOCOLATE

All you had to read was half off chocolate and now this day will go a little better than you thought.

You can roll your eyes at couples

You'll always see those cute couples at dinner, or walking down the street but just remember that they're probably going to be $100 in debt and you're A LOT happier than they are.


Being single isn’t the worst thing in the world, it may seem pretty bad right now but just remember that everything happens for a reason and to always stay positive. Happy Valentine’s Day!

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?
