Valentine’s Day is just a few days away and you may be wishing you were in a relationship, you might hate this holiday or you may be in love with yourself enough not to hate it. Regardless, it's another holiday that’s supposed to make women feel beautiful and loved by receiving flowers, a teddy bear and chocolate from a significant other. I am here to tell you that you do not need a man in your life to make you feel special. You deserve to be happy, love yourself for who you are, without anyone having to bring you flowers to prove it to you. This Valentines Day do not get sad or wish you were the girl getting a huge teddy bear from a guy, be the woman that can make herself happy. Here are a few things you could do this Valentines Day:

Sweets: Go out and buy your favorite sweets. Whether it's chocolate, candy, ice cream or whatever else you might love, go out and buy some for your special night.

Adventure: What do you really enjoy doing but do not seem to find enough time to do it? Whatever it is, make the time today to complete it. You deserve it.

Get creative. If your daily schedule consists of school, work, sleep and nothing else, it is time to change your schedule for a day. Call a friend to go grab drinks or dinner. Go see a family member you have not seen in awhile. Go draw or paint a picture of your favorite animal, or the first thing that pops in your head when you think of art. It does not matter how well or horrible you draw, just do it.

Turn off your phone. Enjoy a quiet or fun night to yourself or how you chose. Just stay off social media, at least till the next morning.

Stop thinking. Stop thinking about your friend that is probably going on a date, stop thinking about wanting to be in a relationship and just enjoy a night for yourself and what you love to do.

Girl’s night. Grab your group of girl friends that do not have any plans, go out into town, have a movie night and enjoy chocolate, have a glass of your favorite wine or do something crazy everyone will enjoy.

Most importantly, have patience and love yourself while the right significant other is making his or her way into your life. Stop pretending to be someone that you are not, wishing you were someone else, or wishing you could change something about yourself; you do not need anyone to make you feel beautiful. Self-love is one of the most important concepts everyone needs to learn. We may never know the reasons why we were given the life we have, but we need to enjoy every minute of it, not worrying about things we cannot change. Love yourself, you are beautiful in your own unique way.

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.
