Six Things Not To Do on Valentine's Day When You Are Single

Articles about Valentine's Day often give you ideas on "the perfect date night" or "what you can do for him," but what about if you're spending it dateless?

Six Things Not To Do on Valentine's Day When You Are Single

While many people will tell you how to spend your Valentine's Day alone or with your fellow single ladies, here is what you should NOT do..


1. Don't stay in your bed all day with Ben and Jerry's half baked ice cream and watch sad movies.

Go out with your friends and keep yourself occupied, there is no point in milking the fact you're single by spending the day alone. Coming from someone who spent 18 years with her dad as her Valentine, I can promise you the day can still be fun if you're single.

2. Don't be 'that girl' to Tweet multiple times about how much you hate Valentine's Day.  

We all know at least one girl that spends the entire week leading up to Valentine's day hate-tweeting about how pointless the holiday is and she can't wait for it to be over. Don't be that girl.

3. Don't text your ex.

You don't actually miss him, it's just the holiday blues so put your phone down. 

4. Don't binge drink until you blackout.

Yes, you should go out with your friends to the bars or have a ladies wine night at home but don't over do it. There is no need to drink until you forget it's February 14th. 

5. Don't bash your friends in relationships.

Let them post their Instagram pictures of their flowers and go on their fancy dinners with their boyfriends. Yes it may be annoying to hear about their "amazing night," but just be happy for them because it might be you next year and you don't wanna sound like a hypocrite. 

6. Don't think that Valentine's Day is all about relationships. 

Try to think back to second grade when everyone in class brought in candy or little cards for Valentine's day. Remember that a day all about love can be celebrated with anyone, not just a boyfriend!

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.
