Every January, America's longest lasting reality television show, The Bachelor, debuts with a new dream guy, and twenty-some even dreamier women. The show, centered around finding a potential spouse, falls over the most important holiday to celebrate love: Valentine's Day.

February 14th is a strange day in society. It's loved by many but also extremely dreaded. Let's be honest, walking down those drugstore aisles, filled with giant, fuzzy stuffed animals, and looking at people buying their significant other heart-shaped boxes of chocolate kind of sucks, but if you're the recipient of that giant stuffed teddy bear and those delicious chocolate truffles, you probably love V-Day.

In the world, and in the Bachelor Nation, not everyone is going to be the recipient of chocolates, flowers, nice dinners, and teddy bears on Valentine's Days, but that doesn't mean that you still can't have a great February 14th! Here are the do's, and the don'ts, of Valentine's Day, as told by everyone's favorite Bachelor 21contestant, Corrine Olympios!

1. Don't hang out with couples

Just don't do it. It's going to be uncomfortable for everyone involved.

2. Don't go on a date, just to have a date for V-Day

Don't settle for a free dinner and an awkward kiss at the end of the night.

3. Don't be jealous of other people and their relationships just because it's Valentine's Day

Remember, jealousy is the ugliest color someone can wear!

4. Don't hook up with someone

Just trust me on this one.

5. Don't text your ex


Just trust me on this one, too.

6. Don't be sad if you don't have a Valentine

You're you, and everyone around you loves that!

Now, just because there's some don'ts, doesn't mean you can't have a few do's. Once again, here's Corrine, telling you how to have a successful V-Day!

1. Do treat yourself

Get some sushi, get some wine, rent a movie, and snuggle up with that fuzzy blanket you couldn't resist picking up when you were at Target.

2. Do drink that wine


This V-Day is technically Wine Wednesday, so that's a good excuse to drink my whole bottle of rosé, right?

3. Do go on a date with the right person

Don't settle, but if it's the right person, why not?

4. Do show affection to those who deserve it

A smooch-smooch here and a smooch-smooch there!

5. Do tell everyone that you love and care about them, even if they're not your significant other

Everyone deserves to hear this on the day of love!

6. Do remember your worth

Remember that self-love is the best love!

So thank you Corrine Olympios. Thank you for showing us the do's and the don'ts of Valentine's Day and thank you for making Nick's season so entertaining!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
