Valentine's Day. A wonderful holiday in which couples share romantic dates, loving words, and gifts of passion. February 14th is approaching in a few weeks.I know it may seem a little early to be discussing it, but it seems like every store in the country is stocked full of adorable plush animals and oversized boxes of semi-enjoyable chocolate. (Come on, who even truly likes those mix boxes of crappy chocolate?)

If you're in a relationship, you're probably expecting a nice date and some kind of thoughtful gift. However, if you're anything like me - single since birth, then you may be less than enthused by all the hearts and roses all over the place. If this is the case, have no fear, there are quite a few things you can do to enjoy the fact that you're single this Valentine's Day.

1. Enjoy some "me" time

Okay, I get it. It may seem a little sad to be spending a holiday of love alone. However, self-love is of utmost importance. So use that face mask you've had in your bathroom cabinet since the beginning of time. Break out that bath bomb. Binge watch your favorite show. Just do you. Take some time to appreciate that you deserve a night to de-stress.

2. Throw a Valentine's Day party

The freedom of single life should be celebrated. What better way to acknowledge your freedom than all the wine you want to drink? Plus, it may make your other single friends enjoy the day more. You can also embrace the holiday by having love themed refreshments and activities.


3. Go out

A lot of clubs host events for singles on Valentine's Day. Whether you're looking for a Valentine's fling, or just want to dance your heart out, it can elevate your mood. If you're not into the club scene you could take part in alternate activities. Hit up a movie (Fifty Shades comes out February 14th, just saying). Walk your dog, grab a cup of coffee, or take an art class. Whatever peaks your interest and gets you out of the house.

4. Treat yo' self

Nothing quite hits the soul like retail therapy. Now, I'm not saying buy up the entire mall. But maybe splurge on that shirt you've been eyeballing, or get yourself large pretzel bites rather than medium. (Way better than those mixed boxes of chocolate anyway!)

5. Catch up!

Sometimes it is better to use days of leisure towards self-improvement. With school in session, there are plenty of homework assignments to stop procrastinating. Maybe you still haven't gotten around to cleaning your bedroom or have put off tackling "the chair" of laundry. Instead of feeling sad this Valentine's Day, stay motivated.

Valentine's Day is survivable if you're single, and can even be enjoyable if you play your cards right and stay positive. If you are single this year and are still feeling down no matter what, keep in mind you can get all the candy you want for half off on February 15th! Let's make this Valentine's Day a great one.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
