How To Deal With Valentine's Day

Here it comes again. February is the month of the year when everybody only cares about Valentine's Day. Well, except for you. If you're single, you don't have any dates or you just simply enjoy being alone, here is something you can do to spend Valentine's Day on your own.

1. Treat yourself by going to a fine-dining restaurant and ordering the most expensive dish.

Who needs a girlfriend/boyfriend to take you there. You can go by yourself anyway.

2. Surprise yourself with a gift.

Jealous of all the gifts that couple give each other? Don't be. You can buy whatever you want with your own money and still be happy. Get yourself a nice dress, a pair of new shoes, or a designer handbag. Love, love fades away, but things, things are forever.

3. Invite your friends over your house.

Make some popcorn, turn on Netflix, and have good time together. There are a bunch of things you can do with them: play video games, have a beauty makeover, or just simply sit there and make fun of the cheesy couples on social media. It is the cheapest and a fun way to spend Valentine's day.

4. Or you can ... You know what I mean.


If anybody asks what is your plan for Valentine's day, just confidently answer them. There is nothing wrong with being alone.

Don't feel bad for yourself for spending Valentine's day alone. In fact, you still have your family and your friends. Ignore all the couples' posts all over Instagram. It's none of your business and you don't have to care anyway. Don't make yourself look pathetic by crying and whining on social media.

After all, it's just another ordinary Sunday. There is no need to feel bad or compare yourself to others. Love comes and goes all the time, and maybe it's not your time yet. The important thing is to love yourself and become a better person.

HAPPY SINGLES AWARENESS DAY!

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.
