We spend so much time caught up with the idea that we need a significant other to spend Valentine's Day with, or else it is a sad and depressing holiday. All the stores make us feel like we need to have someone to buy chocolates and teddy bears for. PSA: you don't need a lover to have a great, satisfying Valentine's Day. There are many other ways to spend the day, and appreciating yourself is definitely a great thing to do! Here's a list of things you can do to appreciate yourself and show yourself some love.

1. Take yourself to a coffee shop

It's really relaxing to go sit in a coffee shop and get work done. This may be a great time to catch up on your favorite book or evaluate your goals.

2. Treat yourself to a spa day!

A massage or facial will definitely help you feel better! Even if you can't make it to a spa, make your own by having a nice bath and peel-off facial.

3. Go for a walk

Exercising is a great way to spend time with yourself, and being outside is nice, as well. Taking some time to yourself to appreciate nature is a great way to spend your day.

4. Explore a museum

Museums are a great way to learn new things and be alone.

5. Learn to cook some new foods!

It's always good to try new things, and you never know what you'll end up liking!

6. Get a head start on spring cleaning

Cleaning out your closet and getting rid of clutter can be very liberating! Having a clean environment can also help you feel better and more motivated.

7. YouTube tutorials

Ever wanted to try something new but were hesitant or unsure? Well now's the perfect time to explore your interests and try something new! You never know what you could learn.

8. End the day by binge watching your favorite show

It's a great feeling when you can watch TV for hours without feeling guilty, and there's no better way to end the day!

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.
