I hate to be a cynic, but I don't like Valentine's Day, and I don't think I'm alone on this. I know it's supposed to be all about love, chocolate, and romance which sounds great in theory. However, sometimes the pressure of the holiday gets in the way of the love, Walgreen's is out of heart shaped chocolates, and your romantic night gets ruined because you can't get a reservation. Whether you're single, or in a relationship, Valentine's Day isn't everyone's favorite holiday. Here are 12 times Valentine's Day was the worst holiday told to you by Bachelor contestants.

1. When your significant other is way more excited about the holiday than you are.

The pressure is on.

2. When your roommate thinks Valentine's Day merits loud sex.

And so do our neighbors.

3. When your friend comes back from her romantic night and tells you all about it.

4. When you receive awfully cheesy gifts that you have to pretend to like.

Oh, this stuffed bear holding a stuffed heart will come in such handy...never.

5. When your not dating anyone and the holiday just reminds you how alone you are.

6. When your one crazy single friend tries to get all the single people she knows to celebrate being single so she feels better about her singleness.

As she screams "Love is a myth."

7. When you forget how awful dating is and agree to go on a date with someone new because, hey it's Valentine's Day, that's what you're supposed to do right? No, wrong!

I think I'm looking at one.

8. When Victoria Secret is having a huge Valentine's Day sale on bras and you want to get one, but then realize no one will ever see it.

9. When you just started seeing someone and don't know what they expect out of you on this dreadful holiday.

10. When people ask you what you did for Valentine's Day and all you did was eat six hot pockets and watch every Nicholas Sparks movie ever made.

11. When there's all this pressure to say and do nice things for your significant other.

12. When your significant other wants to try something weird and kinky because it's Valentine's Day.

Uh, maybe next year.

But really at the end of the day sometimes this awful holiday truly does a great job of reminding us all to appreciate the love in our lives.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
