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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
