How to Survive Valentine's Day Single
The Odyssey

February 14th is a dangerous day. Whispers of dinner plans at fancy restaurants. Heart shaped boxes of chocolate. Bouquets of flowers. Marriage proposals. It's a cruel world for the relationshipless population. But rest assured, I have composed a simple 10 step plan to get all my fellow single ladies through Valentine's Day in one piece- more or less.

1. Stay in your pajamas all day

No boyfriend? No one to impress. An oversized sweatshirt and fuzzy socks feel better than cuddling anyway.

2. Cook yourself a killer breakfast

You would make a bombass wife, but oh well, his loss.

3. Put your phone someplace out of reach

If you can't see all the gushy Instagrams, Tweets, and Snapchats it's easier to pretend everyone else is just as miserable single as you.

4. Hit the gym

Maybe the key to love is not having love handles??

5. Order in your favorite takeout

Chances are the delivery guy is single too...this could lead something...

6. Watch a Rom-Com

The Proposal, 10 Things I Hate About You, When Harry Met Sally, and anything Nicholas Sparks

7. Pour yourself a glass of wine

Pro of being single: you get the drink the whole bottle yourself

8. Eat a ton of ice cream

It fills a void no boy could ever reach

9. Cry a bit

But don't get your tears in the wine, you don't want to dilute it

10. Fall asleep enjoying the fact that you don't have to share the bed

Who's the real winner here?


If you closely follow these 10 steps, I can almost guarantee that you will make it through Valentine's Day alive.

*** Results may vary. These steps do not guarantee any relationship in the foreseeable future.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
