It is that time of year again. Time for overpriced heart-shaped candy and pressure to have a significant other. However, not everyone is able to celebrate with a significant other or you may be living the single life. Whatever the case may be, don't let Valentine's Day be a negative experience. Take the opportunity to treat yourself and have a nice day. After all, the most important relationship is the one with yourself and you deserve it.

Buy yourself a bougie Starbucks drink.

Switch out for coconut milk, add a caramel drizzle, add another shot of espresso and make it a venti, you earned it.

Do what you never have time to do, but love doing.

Whether it be painting, reading a book or even baking, do something that makes you smile but you don't always have the chance to do.

Binge watch your favorite comedy show.

Whether it be a classic like "Friends" or your favorite comedian, a good laugh may be exactly what you need. And yes Netflix, I'm still watching, stop asking.

Send yourself flowers.

Whether it be roses, daisy's or even sunflowers, this way, you can be sure you get your favorite kind.

Have a spa day.

Layer on a face mask and put some essential oils in a diffuser. You will feel so refreshed and rejuvenated afterward.

Make yourself a nice dinner.

Who says you need someone else to wine and dine you? Fire up the stove (or call in delivery), pour a glass of wine and enjoy a good meal.

Get some discount chocolate on February 15th.

The only thing better than chocolate is discount chocolate.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
