The Valentine's Day Hype

Don't let Cupid hit you with his bow this year.

The Valentine's Day Hype

It's becoming that time of year where everyone is nervous because they are single. Valentine's Day makes people start to think that they need a date or significant other in their life. Valentine's Day is the day that everyone starts to act in love or it makes people start to think they need to score a date before the 14th. I would hope that people exemplify their love on days outside of that. Just because you don't have Valentine's date doesn't mean you should be bitter. It means that you're content with being alone and you don't need a date just because you feel like you may need one. In our generation, today people just try to go on dates just to have one. It's terrible that our generation feels like being alone is such a crime. Being alone is amazing.

Nobody is content with just being by themselves they want to show off that they have someone with them. Even if that means that they give no regards to that person. More people need to realize that it is okay to be alone and once you are happy alone holidays like Valentine's Day won't affect you. People spend a lot of money on each other on Valentine's Day and half the times the dates are just one night stands. Why be that to someone? It's degrading to know that you weren't worth anything to that person and vice versa. Know the type of person you are and don't do anything out of the ordinary just to have a Valentine. Valentine's Day is just a day to make you bitter but don't let it, love the ones who love you and even if you don't have a date just focus on yourself.

People come and go constantly regardless of the date and you shouldn't let one day change you. Don't hit the panic on Valentine's Day. It's just another day and you can easily spend that day on yourself. You can go do something for you. Society makes everyone think that you need dates and special things just to feel a certain way but that's entirely false. You can feel whole even without someone around to complement you. A person doesn't have to be there society just forces that upon us. Everyone needs to realize they are enough regardless of what society tells us.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
