What It Means To Be Single On Valentine's
Brian Wu

Well friends, it's that time of year again. Valentine's Day is upon us and that means all things red, white and pink. The time for either great, really thought out plans, or last ditch efforts and empty hope of not getting in trouble. Valentine's Day is great because its a special day for your significant other to go above and beyond then usual. To all the single people though, Valentine's Day is like any other day.

Valentine's can have a different significance to different single people. I mean there are singles out there who might get some use out of it, like finally asking out that special person you've been crushing on, simply using Valentine's as an excuse for actually doing it after all this time. Others might get lucky that night since we now have Tinder (that actually works, I've seen it first hand. My friend left our New Years' Party last year to get some). And then to many single people, Valentine's passes them by like any other typical day. You'll wake up, day of, and start your morning like you usually do. Maybe have some toast or oatmeal, a cup of coffee, and get ready for the day. Go to school or work and spend the day like you usually do. Atleast for college students we have parties, so there's a chance to meet someone that night. You never know. Valentine's for single people can give people the extra boost of confidence that they need to make the right moves, just because it's a holiday. This holiday can affect singles differently. Some people will use it as some excuse for their new found courage as they finally ask out their crush. Some people will turn up and maybe wake up lying next to someone whose name they don't remember. No comment. It happens every now and then. Or you might wake up and spend the entire day by yourself, which is lonely but I'm sure you'll be able get through it. Anything can happen. This is the single life.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
