So Valentine's Day is approaching rapidly.

I love February because it's my birthday month, but I am a little concerned with this being my first Valentine's Day single in over two years. All of my roommates have significant others and I am already having FOMO with the idea of them all having extravagant Valentine's Day plans.

It's hard knowing that I will be sitting at home alone watching a romantic comedy and eating an entire box of chocolate. But, I've decided that this Valentine's Day I am going to spend the day loving myself. Here's my list of things to do if you're single this Valentine's Day.

1. Movie marathon

Break out the romantic comedies with your favorite attractive actor. Enjoy some time to yourself as you stay in bed, grab some snacks and watch some movies.

2. Plan a Galentine's Day

Nothing's better than getting your friends together and planning a day of fun with each other.

3. Spa Day

Get your nails done, get a haircut or if you're like me and balling on a budget grab your own nail polish, pick up a face mask and treat yourself.

4. Go shopping for yourself

Since you don't have to buy anyone else a present, why not spend that money on yourself?

5. Explore Tinder

If you're feeling extra lonely or bored there's no better place to find other lonely and bored singles.

6. Gather your single friends and go do couple-like things

7. Relax and unplug

Hopefully that might help anyone who's feeling down in the dumps about being single on Valentine's day, but embrace it! You can still have fun loving yourself this Valentine's day surrounded by people you care about.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.
