You may have a love-hate relationship with Valentine's Day, but I can assure you it is much easier to enjoy this day than you may think. Single, taken, "it's complicated", whatever your status is, you can easily enjoy February 14th without spending a fortune and giving yourself a headache.


1. Candy

Valentine's Day candy is in stock which means plenty of chocolate & other sweets are going to be in stores. Grab some before the holiday and stock up after the big day because it will be on sale! Make chocolate covered strawberries or bake cupcakes and dye them pink (because everything tastes better with food dye?).


2. Flowers

Whether or not you are giving, receiving, or getting them for yourself, flowers are one way to make any day brighter. Thankfully the stores will be stocked up on these too so you can treat yourself or a loved one to something pretty.


3. Appreciation

Last, but not least, I am excited for all of the love and appreciation surrounding this day. Of course, I would prefer if this was shared every day, but beggers can't be choosers so I'll take it as it is.

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.

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. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
