Sorry, But Valentine's Day Is Not A Holiday

It's just another day in February to me, and that's okay.

Sorry, But Valentine's Day Is Not A Holiday

It's that time of year again when we see the stores changing. The holidays are over. We can see the different type of people in the stores. Who am I talking about? Yes, that's right, I am talking about the single people, and the people in a relationship.

The Christmas decorations are long gone, and it's time to bring out the Valentine's Day decorations. This is how we find out who is single, and who is in a relationship. The men or women in a relationship are scouring the aisles of candy, cards, and flowers deciding what to get that special someone. But let's be honest, we single people must stand together and be thankful that we don't have to worry about our man or women cheating on us, and the stress and anxiety that comes with a relationship.

Don't sit at home and feel miserable because you don't have a date, or you aren't in a relationship. Go and hang out with your single friends and have a movie night and just create memories that you will remember forever. Watch a movie and laugh at the funny parts until soda comes out your nose.

If you get dumped on Valentine's Day, remember it is not your fault. It is the other person's fault because they didn't see how special, you are. If you do get dumped, it gives you the excuse to have as much ice cream as you want, except if your lactose intolerant. Well, it still gives you the excuse to eat all the non-dairy ice cream! If you are the one that got dumped, or the person doing the dumping, remember that you are the strong one. You realized something wasn't right before you married the person.

Valentine's Day is not a holiday. It's just another day in February. For the single people in the world, finding Mr. or Mrs. Right will come when we least expect it.

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!
