With Valentines Day right around the corner, girls will be brainstorming about the perfect gift to get their boyfriend. However, do girls really know what guys want? So, I took the initiative and asked my boyfriend what he'd like to receive this Valentines Day (besides love, of course). Here are 10 V-day gift ideas for the special man in your life, from a guy's point of view.

1. Card

Sounds simple enough right? Even though cards may seem like a cliché, they hold sweet, love messages that will melt any man's heart.

2. Homecooked dinner

Nothing says I love you like a homecooked meal. It doesn't have to be fancy, just knowing you put thought into it, will be praised by your man.

3. Handwritten love note

Take the time to write out everything you love about your boyfriend. Make a list of your favorite qualities, features, and the things you love most about your relationship.

4. Cuddles

Who doesn't love a good snuggle while watching Netflix? Plan on a nice and relaxing Valentine's Day: order take-out, pick a Netflix favorite, and enjoy each others company!

5. Photo collage

Whether he admits it or not, your boyfriend loves having pictures of you around. Print of a few of your favorites and create a cute, unique little collage your man will love.

6. Homemade Gifts

Making cute little gifts for your boyfriend shows your dedication to make something he'll enjoy. There's nothing more heartfelt than knowing someone spent time creating something for you.

7. Snack basket

Every guy loves an assortment of all his favorite snacks. Get a cute basket, tie some red and pink ribbon, and you're good to go!

8. Memory box

Every relationship has a story filled with memories that need to be cherished! Remember the best times you've had a create a box filled with all your favorite times spent together.

9. Coupon book

I'm pretty sure every kid made coupon books for their mom in first grade, BUT your boyfriend will love them too! They can be created specifically for your man and filled with all the little things he's love: back rub, free Chipotle, unlimited kisses, etcetera.

10. Boyfriend mug

Every morning when your boyfriend wakes up, he'll think of you right away as he reaches for his handy boyfriend mug. It's cute, clever, and something every coffee lover will adore.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.
