Treat Every Day Like It's Valentine's Day

Your significant other should feel special more than once a year.

Valentine's Day is great. You get to show off your significant other to the world and show him or her how much you care. One entire day of showing off your love for someone.

Why can't we do this every single day? I don't mean the stuffed animals, the candy, the jewelry, or any other nonsense gift. I mean how we're expected to treat our significant others. I don't want to be treated like a princess that's pampered one day a year. I want to be treated like a woman who has a man that cares for her every day.

I don't care if I'm sitting at home in an over sized tee-shirt with greasy hair. Maybe I've had a rough day and I'm in a crappy mood. It could just be an average day. None of that should matter. My boyfriend will look at me randomly when I'm sick and playing on my phone with what probably looks like a quadruple chin and say, "You're cute." Or, he will randomly remind me that he cares for me on any given day, and that makes me feel the kind of special that couples brag about on Valentine's Day.

Go ahead and celebrate Valentine's Day with dates and candies and teddy bears, but don't forget to shower your significant other with affection (the free kind) on a daily basis. The fact that there are couples out there who feel the need to post all over social media only once a year about how special their partner made them feel makes me sad. I don't need someone to buy me something to make me feel appreciated, but I sure as hell enjoy feeling appreciated with words and actions.

Ladies and gentlemen, don't settle for someone who showers you with love and affection on the fourteenth day of February alone. Find the person makes you feel like Valentine's Day isn't some extraordinary event, because they make you feel valued on a regular basis.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
