It's Valentine's Day

Love is everywhere...which means I'll be staying inside all day.

It's Valentine's Day

"It's Valentine's Day!"

Nope, pretty sure it's just February 14th. Maybe it's because I'm single, or maybe it's because I literally couldn't care about anything less than this "love" day, but why does everyone get so extremely hyped up?! I'm not bitter, and I'm certainly not jealous, I just don't understand ALL of the appeal. Why in the world would I want my boyfriend to spend real money, actual dollar bills, on a cheesy card for me for Valentine's Day when we could spend that money getting an actual cheesy pizza. Plus, the dozen roses (that are expensive and die after a few days), the little chocolates (that I can eat in one sitting and then get sad over because they're gone already), and all the pink hearts (I hate pink) floating around are enough to make me want to vomit everywhere. And don't even get me started on the flipagrams and the boomerangs and all the pictures that are going to end up on social media for this day. Goodness gracious it's like couples have never ever cared about each other before except on this one day of the entire year. As if we haven't already seen you and your boyfriend/girlfriend hugging or kissing or being cute on your other 792653 instagram pictures. Can we please just chill with that for a hot second because I'm already starting to classify Valentine's Day as "National Don't Go On Social Media Day" just to avoid seeing all of this love.

But in all honesty, I don't really care what you all post. If you're having fun with your significant other and it's literally the best day of your life, post away. I'm not here to judge, I'm just here to complain about it.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
