TBH, Valentine's Day (and relationships in general) can be very stressful. Keep 2018 golden and spend this Valentine's Day pampering the only boo you need: YOU.

1. Indulge in an extravagant bath bomb or bubble bath.

Not having a bathtub in my dorm has been one of the worst things to ever happen to me because I'm so used to taking baths complete with Lush bath bombs at the end of a long day. The more wrinkled your fingers are, the more relaxed you will be.

2. Get a massage.

Good for circulation, good for breaking down a lactic acid buildup in your muscles, and good for getting rid of that pain in your neck you get from staring at the computer for too long. If you don't want to pay for a massage, cats and small dogs walking on your back can do the trick.

3. Forget your diet, don't count your macros, and get some of your favorite treats.

You are a strong, independent person who does not need another person to buy you cupcakes!

4. Invest in your appearance: hair, nails, and shopping are all allowed.

I really only get my nails done when my mom is around because I'm a #brokecollegestudent, but this Valentine's Day drop some cash on doing whatever it is that makes you look and feel put together and polished.

5. Stay in and cuddle with your pets because let's be real, they're the best at cuddling.

Your MCM would never. If you're lucky enough to still have your pet living with you, take full advantage of them being your boo 24/7 and have a night in with the one who loves you the most.

Whether or not you have someone who is trying to make dinner reservations for you this V-Day, make sure you take some time to better yourself and show yourself some self-love!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
