Single On Valentines Day And It's Okay
Pintrest

February 14th.

Some people hate February for that very day. The roses, heart balloons, boxes of chocolates and huge stuffed animals can be a little overwhelming. When I walk into a grocery store I steer clear of the Valentines Day stuff. Not because I am bitter over Valentines Day, but I am just not hyped about it like everyone else is. I am single and I am okay with that.

Valentines day is one day out of 365 days that people get to show their significant other how much they love them from sun up to sun down. That love should be shown the other 364 days as well, but there's something special about valentines day. Some people put down valentines day so hard, but personally, I think it is cute to see couples doing crazy things for each other. Yes, I am single on valentines day and I am not bitter about it.

This year myself and the millions of other single people will be okay. It's just one day so don't mope around and feel sorry for yourself because you are single. While couples are celebrating their love for each other, celebrate your love for your single life. Cause chances are you will not be single forever. So this year get out there, have your friends over, buy a box of chocolates, pour some wine and pop in a good movie. The best part is you can wear sweatpants, lounge around and have a good time with your girls or guys.

You will not be single for every valentines day. Chances are your prince is still out there looking for you, and when its meant to be, it will be. So for now, enjoy your friends and your single life. A day will come when you will get hyped about spending Valentine's Day with your significant other. This just isn't the year and that's okay. Your single this year? so what.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
