7 Things To Get Your S.O. For Valentine's Day That They Won't Be Expecting

Everyone knows the basic Valentine's Day gifts- chocolate, teddy bears, and roses. But after years of the same thing, sometimes it's time to think outside the box. Here's a list of things you can do outside of the Valentine's Day aisle.

1. Bake something

Giphy

Food is a must, but instead of candy, make them something from the heart! Even if it doesn't turn out exactly like you expected, its the though that matters.

2. A massage

Giphy

Valentine's Day should extend beyond February 14, and this is the perfect way to do it! Allow them to relax and get some alone time while keeping you in the back of their mind.

3. A handwritten letter

Giphy

Ditch the cards section and write your own card this year! It saves money and it shows you put the time in to make it by hand.

4. Clothes

Giphy

This sounds like a weird one, but getting them something you know they'll look good in (and reminding them of it when you give it to them) will ensure they'll be flattered and get good use out of it.

5. Phone charger

Giphy

You can make anything romantic, and this is a perfect example. Add a caption like "to keep us connected no matter what" or "you energize my life" and you've got a gift that is cute and practical.

6. A pillow/blanket

Giphy

Not only is this gift always needed, but it will be perfect for end of the night snuggles!

7. Cook their favorite meal!

Giphy

Instead of buying chocolate, go buy a nice juicy steak or whatever they love to eat! And the best part- you get to enjoy it too!

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.

Oh college, lovely, lovely college. A four-year time span that is filled with many highs and many lows. Between procrastinating on an essay that is due at midnight to getting your first library card (if you know what I mean), college is a time that you should not take for granted, yet it is also a time where you feel like your entire world is falling apart. It is a time where one day you can feel like you are on top of the world and then the next day you are 500 feet below the ground surface.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.
