Tips to Creating the Perfect Valentine

Every year when February rolls around different attitudes about Valentine's Day start to pop up. Social media becomes flooded with people either totally loved up, or people that wants Valentine's Day to die in a circle of hellfire. With Valentine's Day there always seems to be a competition to show how much you really don't care, like at all, ugh it's stupid, no one cares that Derek got you chocolate roses, CHRISTY!

See what I mean? For all of you single gals/guys/people out there, I have a foolproof solution. Pull a Jan Brady and create a George Glass, but be smarter than Jan (after all, she was a middle child) and actually have a physical guy! "How am I going to a guy this last minute?", you ask. Well, I have the answers!

1. Hot Bod


All pieces of man candy need a hot bod, and I'm talking like Channing Tatumn, or Steve Buscemi hot. Need a man stat? Go to your local mall and grab the best looking mannequin you can find. How do you know he's the one? He has the most vacant, dead-inside stare in the world. This is great because it's so honest. You'll already know he doesn't care about how Lindsey from work didn't clean up her lunch in the kitchen, because he has that dead stare! He will never lie to you, or feign interest! He's even more exotic and hot if it's a headless mannequin! Everyone at your book club will be so jealous you snagged a Mr. Darcy-esque hottie.

2. Cool Threads

Every suave, debonair man needs an AMAZING wardrobe. Take inspirations from legendary hotties like Urkel, Screech, Carlton, Tommy Pickles, and Professor Snape. All of these fashion icons will provide your man with the wardrobe inspiration he needs. Here are some other suggestions:

1. Ed Hardy t-shirts

2. Jeans from Jon Gosselin's "I Have Bills Now" line available at Big Lots

3. Cutoffs (think Tobias from Arrested Development)

4. Anything from Hot Topic

5. Heelies

6. Wallet chains

3. Exotic and Interesting Backstory

Every viable man has a cool backstory. What has your man done? Gone exploring in the Amazon? Built orphanages in the Congo? Or, even better, one time he actually paused his video game when his ex asked him too! All faux beaux need to have a cool backstory to make them authentic. Maybe he has some unsavory business partners, or he doesn't think The Notebook is total garbage. Groundbreaking!

4. Sexy Name


What's in a name? Names are likes the eyes of words, they say something without needing to. Confused? Good. Give your Special Guy a name that no one will ever forget. Pierre, Jean Claude, and Paolo are all exotic European options. But, you need to be DIFFERENT. A name makes a statement! Try names like #NotMyPresident, Midichlorian, Cash Me Outside, or Dale. This George Glass has an ass.... and a name! Before you know it, everyone will be talking about what a beautiful couple you and Windex make.

This Valentine's Day give into the artificial air that surrounds the holiday. After all, it was created by card and candy companies as a marketing ploy, so be as fake and indulgent as possible! And just because I used a man in this article, building a fake significant other applies to all genders, so go wild! Seriously, no one will be to tell you're dating a mannequin.

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.
