If you are like me, being single on Valentine's Day is really nothing out of the ordinary. February 14th is just another day to us. I've only had a boyfriend for one Valentine's Day in my entire life actually. Although it was nice to have flowers delivered to me at school, and someone to hang out with, I honestly don't feel like I'm missing out on anything extraordinary.

I think most of us can say that as a little kid, Valentine's Day was absolutely spectacular and something we definitely looked forward to every year. The day before we would spend so much time with our classmates constructing and decorating our cute little mailboxes and writing out cards to hand out to everyone in the class.

Then the day of, I always remember the classroom being decorated so exquisitely, and stocked with cookies and candy. If I were a teacher, I would definitely go ham on Valentine's decorations. At some point in the day, we would have our class party where we had the chance to pass out our cards to all of our friends and eat candy. Lets be honest, this was the chance to shoot your shot at your elementary school crush - I'm talking about you, Carl.

But as the years passed, and I lost all hope in true love - ok that's a little dramatic, but lets be honest - the day just didn't seem special to me. Every year my social media is flooded with tons of couples pictures, and long sappy posts about how they love their significant other, and that's fine! I am so happy for those couples, I truly am!

For me though, I am perfectly content with getting food, putting on a good show, and snuggling up with my cat for the night. I would rather do that than to waste my time on a guy who would probably ghost me in less than a month anyways.

Don't get me wrong though, when the right guy comes into my life I would totally be down for celebrating this so called holiday. I'm just not going to go out of my way to find another lonely and bored soul to spend it with.

So if you're like me and single as a Pringle, don't worry! Theres always next year, so for now just embrace your single status and cuddle up on the couch with your favorite show. Next thing you know it'll be St. Patricks Day and we can drink our sorrows away, if you're into that kind of thing.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
