A List Of Things I Don't Want For Valentines Day

First off, I don't really care about Valentine's Day. No, not because I think its a commercial holiday only meant for consumers to waste their money (although it kinda is).And no, it isn't because I'm single and bitter about it. I've been in a relationship for 5 years and at first, it bothered me that my S.O. didn't care about Valentine's Day, but when I thought about it, it made sense. A relationship shouldn't be prioritized to one day and definitely, doesn't need to be a competition with everyone else. There are really great ways to show your love for someone, but these are not it...

1. I DO NOT WANT A GIANT STUFFED BEAR.

I repeat, I do not.. DO NOT want a giant bear. Its impractical. Its stupid. Why is it a thing?!!?!? I don't have room for this crap. I have too much stuff as it is, the last thing I need is a huge stuffed bear taking up my entire bed. I get it they're probably really comfortable but why. I don't know why it became a popular thing, or what everyone's obsession with them is.. but I wish it would stop.

2. A STUPID AMOUNT OF FLOWERS.

The gesture of filling a room with flowers is so romantic, but SO impractical. I love having flowers on my desk, but I really don't want my entire room filled with them. It may just be because I have allergies and would probably die if I were surrounded by 300 flowers, but what do I do with all these flowers. I don't want to spend my entire day picking up fallen rose petals either..

3. TACKY LINGERIE or EDIBLE ANYTHING.

Chances are its cheap, it won't fit like I want it to, and I will not be wearing it for you. To anyone who actually thinks edible underwear are a good idea.. no..just no. **disclaimer: I would gladly accept anything from Agent Provocateur**

4. A PROPOSAL.

I do not want to share my special moment with everyone else in the world. Maybe I'm just jealous but being proposed to is MY TIME. Not anyone else's. You really couldn't come up with annnyyy other idea on how to propose? How original.

5. HOMEMADE COUPONS.

Are you 8 years old and is it Mother's Day? No. Don't give me a coupon for a back massage or to take me out to dinner, just do it!


Show the person you care about you love them in your own way, and do it everyday, not just Valentine's Day. I don't need 300 roses or a box of chocolates. Love doesn't have to be extravagant for one day of the year. Its the little things y'all.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
