If you're looking for an article that's about all the beautiful things you can get for your significant other on Valentine's Day, then this is not the article for you. Here are 11 things that you shouldn't do on valentines day.

First things first:

1. Don't show up with an empty heart

You know the saying, "Never Show Up Empty-Handed." Well, this is the same thing, except you just can't come into the day feeling selfish. Leave all selfish tendencies behind and have a good day.

2. Don't be selfish.

I believe this day is for both members of a couple. All people should be treated with the same affection and the day should be happy for everyone.

3. Set the rules

Decide whether gifts are going to be given or not. No one wants to be in the awkward position of one person getting the other a gift while the other is left sitting thinking about how they don't have a gift to give to you.

4. Don't make it about the material possessions

During valentines day it is easy to get caught up in material things we can get. I want a bear, chocolate, and etc... Sometimes it should just be about spending quality time together.

5. Don't come empty handed

If it was talked about and everyone agrees to bring gifts then don't be the one person to ruin it. This isn't Christmas time with Secret Santa, where you can secretly "forget" to buy someone a gift and still receive a pair of socks.

6. Don't hate

For the single ones out there, there are the occasional Valentine's Day haters in the world and we all know who they are. But, however you feel about the day, it's best to mind your own business, keep to your own opinions, and let the lovers have their day.

7. Don't seclude yourself to your room

Spend time with your homies and less time with your bed. It's Valentine's day, but it doesn't necessarily mean it has to be about a couple. It can simply be chilling with your pals, watching a movie, and eating some snacks.

8. Don't be the opposite of adventurous

This is the day to try new things, meet new people, and just have fun. Go outo see a movie by yourself, take a nice long bath, whatever you have to do, just love doing it.

9. Don't be non-appreciative

If someone takes the day out to talk to you, see you, or take you out, you can't show that you didn't appreciate it. Show love to everyone and love will be received. Always be thankful for the things that you have.

10. Don't make any harsh plans

If you've been thinking about leaving your boyfriend for the past week, Valentine's Day may not be the best choice. Keep all rash decisions to a minimum and make good choices.

11. Don't do anything besides relax

If all goes wrong, some simple "me time" should surpass the unwanted time. Kick up your feet and go to sleep.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
