It's almost Valentine's Day, and we all know what that means... everyone in a relationship will spend it with their significant other, while most everyone else will spend it wishing they had someone to share the day with. Everyone can agree, being single on Valentine's Day is no fun. But, you can change that. It may be easier said than done, but instead of sitting around wishing you had someone to treat you, treat yourself. Valentine's Day is the perfect opportunity to practice some self-appreciation/self-love.

If you don't have a significant other to spend the day with, plan a day for yourself. "Treating yourself" means different things to different people; but, basically, do what makes you happy. Regardless of what it means, show yourself some love. Take yourself out to a nice coffee date, get your nails done, go for a long walk, take a long bath. I can promise you that you will appreciate Valentine's Day a whole lot more this way.

Here's just a few ideas of things you can do this Valentine's Day to treat yourself...

1) Buy yourself flowers/chocolate/anything else you want

2) Read a book

3) Take a long walk

4) Spend some quality time with friends and family

5) Take a bubble bath

6) Light your favorite candle

7) Curl up with some blankets and binge watch your favorite show

8) Take yourself on a coffee/tea date

9) Watch the sunset/sunrise

10) Make your favorite food

No matter your relationship status this Valentine's Day, feel free to give yourself a little self appreciation. Even if you are in a relationship, you can still do all of this! You don't need a significant other to feel the love on Valentine's Day, you have friends, family and most importantly yourself!

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
