https://www.pexels.com/photo/beverage-chocolate-cocoa-coffee-301650/

1. Bring it back to elementary school and break out the Valentine's

Who didn't love getting Valentine's from their classmates back in elementary school? Tattoos, candy, stickers, and fun little cartoon princesses. What more can a girl ask for?

2. Wear pink

It might not be a Wednesday, but you can celebrate Valentine's Day with your wardrobe this year.

3. Treat yourself to a night out with your friends

Giphy

Go out on the town and have a girl's night! No boys tonight.

4. Chocolate

Who says you can't buy your own chocolate?

5. Pop some popcorn and turn on the romantic comedies

Giphy

Grab your friends. Grab some snacks. Grab some movies. It's time for a romcom.

6. Ice cream

For when the chocolate just isn't getting the job done.

7. Call your parents and tell them you love them

Giphy

Love doesn't have to be romantic. Call your parents and tell them how much they mean to you.

8. And while you're at it call your grandparents too.

Giphy

Your grandparents love to hear from you and you probably don't call them enough as it is. Spread the love and call them too.

9. Brownies

Brownies are another great dessert food that are helpful for celebrating Valentine's Day.

10. Cook yourself a fancy dinner

Giphy

Treat yourself with a nice fancy dinner. Look up your favorite recipe online and give it your best shot. Of course don't forget to cook it with love.

11. Have a dance party

Giphy

Get your friends together and spend the night dancing to the greatest love songs of all time.

12. Cupcakes

Everybody knows that cupcakes are way better than regular cake, which means they are a way better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than regular old boring cake.

13. Get some flowers

Giphy

Who doesn't love roses? Plus when everybody asks who sent them to you you can totally answer just say that Zac Efron bought them for you.

14. Cut out some paper hearts and use them to decorate your room

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

795

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
