13 Things I'd Rather Do On Valentine's Day Than Go On A Date

123rf

It's almost time for yet another Hallmark holiday. A day when our newsfeed is bombarded with sappy couples posts. As much as I love chocolate, here are quite a few things I'd much rather be doing than spending Valentine's Day on a sappy dates.

1. Watch Netflix in my pajamas

There's honestly not much better than getting super cozy under a bunch of blankets and binge-watching your favorite show. I'm not too interested in making room for another person or having to take into consideration what he might want to watch.

2. Order a pizza and eat the whole thing

Second to watching Netflix all day, I find it incredibly satisfying to order a pizza and silently pride myself on the ability to finish the whole thing. I don't really want to share so...

3. Go get half-apps

I'd rather spend time with a bunch of my single gal-pals eating half-apps and enjoying margaritas than going for an expensive dinner.

4. Send lame valentine's to friends

Every year, I live to find the newest hilarious valentine's floating around and sending them to the people who I know will appreciate them. Even better: when my friends know me well enough to send me the ones they know I'll love.

5. Go shopping

Especially the day after Valentine's Day when all the chocolate is half-price!

6. Buy myself chocolate

I know what I like and I know I'm fully capable of eating the whole box.

7. Go to the gym

Nothing like some productive empowerment to make me feel good.

8. Do homework

Because Valentine's Day is on a Wednesday and we're all good students.

9. Bake myself some cupcakes

Treat yo self.

10. Cuddle with my dog

Because honestly, no one gives better cuddles than my pup.

11. Spend time with my hedgehog

I just really want to hang out with my pets.

12. Drink wine

Not that I don't do that on any other given day, but it's just a little more satisfying on Valentine's Day.

13. Cry

I..It's just...never mind.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

4. When it's 2 AM and you remember you have a test tomorrow.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.

13. But then you remember rent is due tonight and the anger comes back.
