Valentine's Day is literally right around the corner, and if you're not riding solo this year, that means you're celebrating it with the one you love. However, your bank account doesn't love your S.O. nearly as much as you do, so getting something meaningful without breaking the bank is kinda the only option you have. What to do? Well, take a look, and see which idea best suits your relationship!

1. Write them a love letter and then read it to them

Not just any love letter, but one where you pour your heart out and lay it all on the line. Let this be the one day you get completely mushy-gushy.

2. Cook them a homemade meal

There really isn't something more impersonal than sitting in a stuffy, crowded restaurant with a thousand other lovebirds all competing to pop the question first. Plan a nice, home cooked meal and some wine and enjoy a low-key night together.

3. Build a fort together and watch movies all day

Grab some twinkly lights, load up your arsenal of romantic movies and get cuddled up together!

4.Throw your own "Painting with a twist" night

Grab a couple bottles of paint and a couple canvases and let the creative juices flow! Paint portraits of each other or splatter that paint for a fun and slightly messy but never forgettable Valentine's Day.

5. Plan a board game night

There's nothing wrong with a little friendly competition to get sparks flying on Valentine's Day. Make it interesting and every time someone loses a turn, the loser owes the winner a kiss, or, ya know, whatever rules you wanna enforce.

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.
