10 Things Girls Actually Want For Valentine's Day This Year

Keep the teddy bears, puppies, roses, and chocolates..... actually we want the chocolates, but we also want these things:

1. The Kardashians to come back on E!

2. Another Miley album

3. Cheaper knick knacks from Urban Outfitters.

Yes, I want that Birthday card with the funny and culturally relevant quote on it, but no, I'm not paying my tuition money for it!

4. Stronger friendships with the other girls

5. Power and faith in ourselves, yet the humility and kindness in interacting with the rest of the world.

6. More cute Facebook videos of babies

7. To finally break this highest glass ceiling.

8. Derek Shepard to come back from the dead (Screw you Shonda Rhimes).

9. More stories.

We want to know about the past and the future. We want you to tell us stories about people from every kind of place in every kind of time doing any kind of thing. We want to hear why humans are all the same and also why we are each so damn unique. More stories, please.

10. The courage to always chose, teach, and encourage kindness and love over hate and exclusion.
