Every person wants something different from a relationship.

And knowing what your parents, friends and significant others look for in a relationship can help you have a better relationship with them. Whether they enjoy receiving gifts, hearing words of affirmation, or just spending time with those important to them, knowing what is most important to them will help you have healthier and happier relationships.

My college roommate introduced me to '"The 5 Love Languages." By marriage counselor, Dr. Gary Chapman, the 5 Love Languages official assessment uncovers your love language and helps you begin to improve a relationship. Your love language profile will explain your primary love language, what it means and how you can use it to connect with others.

With Valentine's day coming up, taking this quiz and asking your partner to do the same, could help you plan the best Valentine's Day you've had in a long time. Even if you think your relationships is going great and couldn't be better, being aware of each other's love languages could make a great relationship even better. Or if you struggle to get along with your mom, or if you even just want to be closer to your best friend, this Love Languages quiz will help.

Click "Learn Your Love Language" to take the quiz: http://www.5lovelanguages.com/

The 5 Love Languages are:

Words of Affirmation - You respond to words of praise.

Acts of Service - For you, actions speak louder than words.

Receiving Gifts - Receiving gifts makes you feel most loved and thought of.

Quality Time - Their undivided attention means the world.

Physical Tough - Just being able to hold someone's hand is all you ask.

Dr. Chapman has also written several books that can help with happiness in all aspects of your life. From "Rising Above A Toxic Workplace" to "The 5 Love Languages Singles Edition" and "The Love Languages of Teenagers," Dr. Chapman has covered it all.

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.
