There are so many things I really don't like about Valentine's day. Maybe it's the subpar memories or the hype around celebrating not being single. Personally, I think Valentine's Day is just another sham holiday that started out religious and now is a capitalist pit (just like Christmas). There is some good things about Valentines Day, like the present reminder to celebrate love. Love comes in all forms; romantic, friendships, and within yourself. This Valentines day, try some of these ways to love yourself

1. Take a Bath

Candles and all! Set on some calming music and find a good read, such as a magazine or book.

2. Get your nails done

Pamper yourself. Get a design if you want!

3. Go pet puppies!

There is literally no pure love than a dogs love to be pet.

4. Cook Dinner/Go to your favorite place

Comfort food is the best option!

5. Watch a drama movie

Rom-Coms are overrated on V Day so go for something with a little more depth. I recommend Good Will Hunting.

6. Don't get on social media

Social Media is a hate factory. This is a day for love, so beat it! Also, DO NOT stalk your ex. I cannot press this enough. It will not help you, and it is the worst form of hate, either with them or yourself.

7. Hang out with friends

Your Bffls will always hold a place in your heart.

8. Eat Ice Cream

Ice Cream makes everything better.

9. Get flowers for yourself!

I recommend peonies or orchids.

10. Buy yourself something nice

Because you should always buy loved ones gifts, even yourself!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
