I am a firm believer in showing your love for someone year 'round, so when Valentine's Day comes around you shouldn't have to go above and beyond to show the love you should have been showing all year.

Being a broke college student, I also know the struggle of wanting to do something sweet for your significant other and not having the funds. So, I comprised this list to help you out.

1. "Open when" cards

Open when cards are an inexpensive and thoughtful gift that are sure to make your S.O. feel the love every day of the year.

2. A bear made of roses

The bear itself is roughly $20. But it's artificial flowers so they will last forever. It's a sweet idea that can brighten your love's day every time they see it. Check it out here.

3. A date jar

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

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.
