25 Ways To Celebrate Everyone You Love On Valentine's Day

Little Rock Air Force Base

My memories of Valentine's Day are trying to get all the candy possible in elementary/middle school. In high school, it turned into "Single's Awareness Day" according to one of my friends. As I've gotten older, and even though I've met a significant other, I have realized Valentine's Day is about love as a whole, not just romantic love.

Here are 25 ways you can love EVERYONE including your significant other on Valentines Day:

1. Send your grandma a handmade card from the heart.

2. Call your mom, she misses you and wants to know what you're up to.

3. Have a romantic comedy movie marathon with your BFF and have a good laugh.

4. Treat yourself to a nice meal.

5. Netflix and chill with your significant other.

6. Talk about the latest football game with your dad.

7. Ask your sister what's been going on in her life and how school is.

8. Ask your brother how his life is going and how work is.

9. Go bowling with your significant other. Friendly competition is fun!

10. Pet dogs you see on your college campus and ask the owners about them.

11. Take advantage of Valentine's Day sales and treat yourself.

12. Take care of yourself and get a new look to boost your self confidence.

13. See how your little cousin's new puppy is doing.

14. Play 21 questions with a new friend.

15. Go on a walk with a group of friends to the bookstore, but with no phones.

16. Treat your friend to food or coffee.

17. Go to the movies this weekend and watch a non-romantic themed movie.

18. Or watch a romance movie.

19. Be creative! Make cards for all your friends but make them personal to each friend.

20. Make a home cooked meal and have all your loved ones over.

21. If you can't have loved ones over, cook dinner for you and your roommates.

22. Write a list on everything you love about a family member, friend, or significant other and give it to them as a present.

23. Write a list on what you love about yourself, Valentine's Day is about you too.

24. If you really don't want to celebrate Valentine's Day, you can take the holiday to get your homework done and get ahead of everyone else on your homework.

25. Love yourself! After all, as the drag queen Ru Paul always says, "If you can't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else? Can I get an amen?"

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

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.

7. And really hungry.

8. Suddenly, it's 2 a.m. and you have only written three sentences and your paper is due in the morning.

9. You've made it to Friday... somehow.

10. Then Sunday hits and you find yourself back at the Lib.

11. So you cry some more.

12. But, you fight through the tears to get everything done because you're determined.
