Valentine's Day can be a doozy to get through, especially if you're single. Just because someone isn't loving you, doesn't excuse you from loving yourself. You can get through this, because if you can't love yourself how in the hell are you gonna love somebody else?

1. "Thank U, Next" by Ariana Grande

Instead of going through your ex's Instagram and Snapchat this Valentine's Day, why not be thankful for what he taught you. Ariana came through with this self-love love song and we could not be more grateful. One taught you love, one taught you patience, one taught you pain. You're so amazing. Always remember that!

2. "Lady Powers" by Vera Blue

This song is so underrated and one of my favorites. Vera Blue's lyrics are so empowering and her voice is so unique. Listen to this song to recognize the power you hold as a woman and celebrate it this Valentine's Day.

3. "Love Myself" by Hailee Steinfeld

This one is pretty self-explanatory.

4. "Independent Women Pt. 1" by Destiny's Child

Before Beyonce was singing about single ladies, she was still empowering girls. This song spreads a message of providing for yourself and being independent. You're doing amazing, sweetie!

5. "Perfect to Me" by Anne-Marie

This song might just perfectly describe your Valentine's Day but, that's perfectly okay. This song spreads a really fantastic message that exceeds one to just get you through this holiday. Listen to this song and feel great about living life the way you want.

6. "Hard Times" by Paramore

Whether you consider the week of Valentine's Day to be full of hard times or the winter months in general, it's important to remember that those times will pass. This song is a great reminder as well as a bop.

7. "Army of Me by Bjork

Bjork is one of my favorite female artists. This song is all about leaving toxic people in your life and standing up for yourself. I mean... how much more empowered can we get?

8. "Seashore" by The Regrettes

This girl band is one of my favorites. This music video was recommended to me on youtube one day and it honestly changed me. I love the message this song spreads and it is a total girl power song. Listen to this and tell me it's not something Kat Stratford from "10 Things I Hate About You" would listen to in her room. Is it asshole day or something?

9. "Armor" by Sara Bareilles

You cannot go wrong with Sara Bareilles. She's been coming through with the girl power bops since "Love Song" and this new release from her is nothing short of fantastic. She's a total force to be reckoned with and so are you!

10. "Pretty Girl Rock" by Keri Hilson

Practice self-love this Valentine's Day like a boss lady. This song is so easy to dance to and its lighthearted lyrics are perfect to dance in your room to as well. This song is still a bop!

11. "Loser Like Me" by The Glee Cast

If you were a "Gleek" in your middle school years, then you definitely remember this song. I must have listened to this song like 200 times in 7th grade. Listening to it now is a nostalgic experience but, it's still a fun song with a good message. And that's what you missed on Glee!

12. "High Horse" by Kacey Musgraves

This disco country bop comes off of the Grammy Award-winning Slow Burn. It's a banger and Kacey Musgraves is the 2019 queen of empowerment. Sister snapped!

13. "You Don't Own Me" by Leslie Gore

The original queen of empowerment was way before her time. This song was redone recently but, nothing will beat the original version of this song.

14. "God is a Woman" by Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande really outdid herself with this one. The powerhouse vocals, the lyrics, the message, everything! I'm so happy that this song exists. Put this song on every day, not just on Valentine's Day. It's too damn good.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
