This Valentine's Day, Catch Me At A Table For One
Julia A Smith

Valentine's day is right around the corner. Some are planning intimate plans with their significant other and many are protesting or continuing to deny that this tradition should exist. Instead of denying the power of Cupid's bow, Take advantage of this chocolate filled day and treat yourself like a true queen. How you choose to spend Valentine's day is your business, but here are some tips on how to make that most out of February 14th.

Self Love Self Care

Let's face it, ladies, we are busy. With obligations left and right and keeping up with all of your homework doesn't leave us much time to take care of the things we really enjoy. Take a minute and focus on the things you really need. Maybe you need a good face mask, a manicure, or you really feel like adding a couple highlights to your hair. For me, I always feel like a new person filled with light when I make a couple of adjustments to my look. In this case, take this day to pamper yourself because you are worth it. This will give you the strength to continue being your fabulous self for the rest of this semester.

If you are not feeling like leaving your bed, maybe indulge in some online shopping. Add some pieces to your clothing collection because there is no better feeling like working a new outfit or adding a pair of leggings to your Lululemon addiction, or maybe that is just my problem. Don't waste the day being depressed about not having a Valentine because no one will love you until you love yourself. Now you may be thinking to yourself that its easier said than done, but allow me to plan out multiple itineraries and you choose how you want to spend this lovely day.

On the gym grind? Start your day off with a good run. working out or just moving your body will release good endorphins to make you more positive and enjoy the day for what it is.

Feeling like exercising your debit card? Add a manicure to your tab to give you little self-love, May I recommend Midtown nails, their messages will make you feel like a real queen.

Don't feel like spending money or leaving your bed? enjoy a day binge-watching your favorite show, with your favorite snack, and maybe a little face mask. your complexion will not only brighten, but knowing that Target sells wonderful and cheap facemasks will not only not damage your bank account, but you will be smiling too!

Cupid Calories

I really don't care about your keto diet or that you think your juice diet is making you feel like a Victoria Secret model, on Valentines Day, nothing counts. If you are really strict about your calorie intake, its good to treat yourself once in a while and if you are going to, DO IT RIGHT! Maybe you are feeling little Ice cream or an oatmeal bake from Heritage House... or maybe both? There is no better feeling like some yummy food to fuel your soul. Most importantly, food is better with friends! here are some fun things to do with your girls!

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
