15 Times 'New Girl' Perfectly Described Being Alone On Valentine's Day
pogdesign.co

Even though Valentine's Day is a made up holiday created by Hallmark to scam you out of money, being alone on the holiday's can be a rough time. Not that we are bitter or anything. While your friends are all out, loving on their significant other's, you'll be in bed hugging a bottle of merlot and binge watching the episodes of "New Girl" where Nick and Jess fall and love. Not to worry, they all had their struggles with love too. So while you sit in your bed wallowing in self-pity, think about being alone on Valentine's Day as told by the cast of "New Girl."


1. Waking up alone on Valentine's Day realizing that you will be alone all day is the icing on the cake.

2. When your mom asks you what your plans for Valentine's Day are.

3. When your friends who have a significant other tell you that they'd love to have a "Galentine's Day" with you the next day.

As if that makes up for it.

4. You start to realize that you might be the only person you have to rely on for attention so you decide to love yourself.

5. The awkward moment when you realize that the entire week before Valentine's Day you became extremely desperate in hopes of finding true love.

6. After day spending the last couple of months questioning why you can't find someone to love you, you realize that maybe it's you.

7. You think that maybe throwing a pity party would be great because it's all about your feelings today.

8. But instead of wallowing in self pity, maybe you decide to go out because...

9. When another friend who now has a significant other tries to tell you that she knows how you are feeling because last year she was single on Valentine's Day.

10. When you try going to that anti-Valentine's Day party and the first person you see becomes your new prey.

11. But then you remember that's a terrible idea because you are a hopeless romantic on a quest for love and fate and alcohol will not mitigate your pain.

12. You lay in bed snuggled between two body pillows and realize you've hit rock bottom.

13. As you scroll through Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, you see everyone's cute couple posts about how much they love each other and what their significant other got them for Valentine's Day.

14. When you finally convince yourself that you are the prize and that it's everyone else who can't see your inner beauty.

15. But at the end of the day, it is all fine because Valentine's Day sucks and is a made up Hallmark Holiday. *bitter sobs*

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
