Just because you're single doesn't mean you have to feel left out of the festivities.

It's that time of year again. Valentine's Day is quickly approaching and people are making their dinner reservations and stocking up on roses. I want to bring attention to the idea of thriving on February 14th even as a single woman. There are some unique ways you could celebrate and make the most out of Valentine's Day as a single.

1. Buy yourself a present

Whether it be chocolate, flowers, or one of those obnoxiously large teddy bears, you deserve some gifts...treat yourself!

2. Watch a rom-com

We all love a little of "The Vow" or "How to lose a guy in 10 days". There's nothing better than a movie marathon with your gal pals especially when it features your celebrity crush. If you're really in the spirit "Valentine's Day" is always a classic too.

3. Shop around

Stores usually have holiday sales for Valentine's Day, go on a shopping spree and take advantage of the holiday sales!

4. Two words: Spa. Day.

Take advantage of the "me-time" for some self care, a spa day is always a good day.

5. Host a GALentines

My favorite way to celebrate! Get your girl gang together and do something fun as a group to make some memories with people you care about.

6. Take a road trip

Take some time for yourself, get out of your town and go somewhere you've never been. It'll be refreshing and you won't be around to see all your locals doing all of the typical couple things.

7. Unplug

Go the full day or a couple of hours without social media.Take the day off so you won't feel left out of all of the mushy love posts.

8. Workout

I know it's different for everyone, but i feel like working out releases so much stress that I carry around daily. Take a hike, a spin class, yoga, etc. to send your mind and body good and healthy vibes. Besides, the class you've been wanting to take that's always full most likely will have open spots on Valentine's night.

9. Wear something that makes you feel good

Whether this looks like your best red dress or comfy pajama pants, own it! You don't have to be with someone to dress up (or down!).

10. Spread the love

You don't have to be in a romantic relationship to celebrate Valentine's day. I'm a firm believer in spreading love every day, but if there's a specific day to celebrate it, I'm totally for it. Whether it's someone you love and care about, or a stranger, show some love to someone else today through an act of kindness.

Being single is a celebratory moment that is often overlooked. This is a time you can focus on YOU. Remember to stay confident regardless of your relationship status. Love yourself because you're amazing, worthy of love and so purposed. You go girl!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
