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!

Take a trip to Ingram

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
