Things To Do If You're Alone On Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is here again and you're probably feeling either excited because you have plans or people to spend it with, or you're feeling lonely and pathetic because it seems like everyone has a date except for you.

But being alone on Valentine's Day doesn't have to be a bad thing. So here are some things that you can do all by yourself this Hallmark Holiday:

Buy yourself some fake flowers, because at least you can get what you like and they'll last longer than a few days.

Get some of your favorite chocolate or snacks and have at them. No one's watching so it's not like it happened anyway, right?

Take a leisurely stroll down the clearance aisle in your local stores and see what goodies you can get on sale.

Order some food from your favorite place to be delivered to you or go pick it up and treat yourself to a tasty meal.

Visit your local animal shelter because puppies and kittens can feel lonely too.

Go to the mall and window-shop (just don't actually spend money you don't have on more clothes you don't need).

Binge watch all of your favorite movies or shows because you deserve to take some time to relax.

Pour yourself a drink (only use alcohol if you're of age, of course) and use that bath bomb you've been saving.

Reorganize your closet, dresser, or even your whole room because, even though it might not be fun while you're doing it, it always feel so refreshing once it's done.

Read that book you've set aside for later.

Get ahead on your homework or actual work. I mean, if you're bored then you're bored and it can't hurt.

Call your mom. Because she loves you and misses you and might be feeling lonely herself.

If all else fails, you can always dress in all black and head over to the fancy restaurant in town where you can stand outside the front doors with your picket sign and protest this horrible day that was created just to make people feel bad about themselves.

Good luck out there and stay strong. And remember: you don't need no man to make you feel good.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
