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.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
