Feb. 14: Single People Awareness Day?

Cupid can suck it this Valentine's Day because you're going to have the best single day ever. Here are a few things you can do on this holiday, the whole purpose of which is to boost Hallmark's stock.

1. An "I hate Valentine's Day" party.

Invite all of your single friends and gather at your favorite restaurant. Celebrate and enjoy the company of your best friends! It's okay to be alone. Your plus one will be the bottle of wine.

2. (Boo)ze boyfriend bonfire.

Don't lie to yourself, we all know you still have that little box that holds everything your ex ever gave you. This Valentine's Day, grab your best friends, that little horrible reminder box and a big box of wine and burn every memory of that pesky ex.

3. Order your mom flowers.

Regardless of how miserable and lonely you may be on Valentine's Day, you always have someone who loves you. Your mom. Honor the wonderful woman who brought you into this world and send her a nice bouquet of flowers!

4. Order yourself something from Edible Arrangements from Mr. Right.

Edible arrangements are gorgeous to look at and delicious to eat. This Valentine's Day, have some fun being single and order yourself an arrangement. Take it to the next level and write a nice love letter from Mr. Right.

5. A "wine about it" party.

Invite all the single ladies over and w(h)ine about how much you hate being single and indulge in some expensive wine.

6. Sweets and sweats.

Binge-eat some sweets with your friends or by yourself. Disclaimer: must wear sweat pants to indulge in this activity. Tight pants will rip instantly.

7. Pinterest party.

Get cozy, light some candles and open up your Pinterest app and have a DIY (Do it Yourself) night!

8. Have a G.N.O (Girls Night Out).

This is great for all single ladies! Grab your girls, go get all dolled up and have a great night out! Who needs an expensive dinner with your significant other when you can just go out with your girls?

9. Go See "How To Be Single" in theaters.

The hilarious Rebel Wilson stars in this comedy, obviously, about how to be single. Tune in and learn how to be single! Disclaimer: An oversize bag is a must in order to bring in the box of wine discreetly.

10. Third-wheel on a date. Just kidding. Spend the money that you would spend on a date on yourself.

Don't sweat it this Valentine's Day. Being alone might be the best thing for you. While everyone else is out stressing about something stupid, you'll be home watching your favorite movie with your favorite bottle of wine.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
