Love Who You Are Not Who You're With

As Valentine's Day is coming up, a lot of sweethearts are trying to come up with plans and gifts for each other. This holiday is for them. And for the single people... well they hate Valentine's day because they have nobody to be with. But is this really right? The short answer is no, but the longer answer is there shouldn't be a reason that they should not have a day for themselves.

First of all, they don't have a partner. Not having a partner means that you get to be free to be yourself since you don't have to make compromises.

Second, you don't have to spend any money unless you want to. You don't have to spend money on a significant other and if you are in college that is a great thing because you are probably broke, anyways. But you could also get something for yourself.

Third, you got to know yourself before you can know somebody else. Really do some soul searching the singles might be getting a partner and the couples might break up. You don't know, but at least on Valentine's day, if you were a single, you don't have to worry about your heart being broken by a jerk who would dump you on Valentine's Day.

And fourth you have to love who you are in order to love who you are with. So guess what you don't have any distractions stopping you from knowing and loving who you are. And, if you are single you have, hopefully, loved yourself for a long time so you can without a doubt love someone else. Maybe even stronger than someone who loves someone else.

So guess what all of you out there who are single have a single's day on Valentine's Day you get to treat yourself. And couples whoever you are, boy and girl or girl and girl or boy and boy or whatever and whatever, have a fantastic Valentine's Day but don't hurt the singles.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
