Why I Don't like Valentines Day
Huff Post

I don't like Valentines Day. It is just another day of the year for me. Do you want to know why? Because I have schizophrenia, I can't get a date.

Your reason may not be like mine. Maybe it's because you can't afford to do a Valentines Day. Or, there is something worse like you got a divorce on Valentines Day and have ward off all love from the opposite or same sex. Who knows your what your reason is no matter how goofy your reason maybe.

You get penalized if you have a relationship and don't like Valentines Day. My dad never gets my mom anything. It's like everyone in my household just avoids the day, except for my sister. She is in a happy relationship that likes to celebrate Valentines Day.

People spend all kinds of money when it's not necessary. Share what makes the relationship last longer not buy romance because you can't buy love. It doesn't work that way.

Some people just want to celebrate Valentines Day to get sex because it seems like at young aged men are only interested in that. Women watch out for guys like that. You should know that you deserve better. I know that I deserve better and so should you.

I have only ever celebrated it once with a significant other and a few times with my family. What people don't realize is that people can make you really happy and really sad at the same time. So watch out. If it seems to be too good to be true, it probably is.

So I hope for all you Valentines Day haters enjoy your regular uncelebrated day like I will be.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
