So it's February. Christmas and New Years have passed and now we are trying to cling on to some semblance of a holiday. Inevitably on the fourteenth of February, there is a "holiday" that many people celebrate called Valentine's Day. Maybe you've heard of it. No matter what your feeling is towards it, use that day to celebrate whatever you want because its what everyone else is doing. These are 14 of my personal go to's.

1. Galentine's Day

This is one that many probably already know about but nevertheless is a good option. Take the day to celebrate your friendships, male or female. I know my friends mean everything to me so take some time to tell them how much you appreciate them on what others may call Valentine's Day.

2. Eat 214 Chocolates Day

I may just be feeding into the stereotype of what Valentine's day is, but if the general majority are eating chocolate today then so should you. Feel free to eat however many you want. I just think it'd be fitting to eat 214 cause of the date and all.

3. Pick Yourself a Flower Day

If you see a flower pick it. You deserve it.

4. Eat a Whole Pizza Day

All I'm saying is why not? Order one from your favorite pizzeria or Domino's and feast it up. Cheese or the works just make sure you eat the whole thing.

5. Pet a Dog Day

This is "supposed" to be a day about love right? Well, there is no better way to show affection than petting a dog. Try it.

6. See 'Fifty Shades Freed' Day

I don't know about you, but doesn't twilight fanfiction turned cringe novel turned blockbuster movie sound so enticing on today of all days? No?!? Your loss.

7. Shopping Spree Day

Treat yourself.

8. Cupid Candy Corn Day

If you don't take the opportunity to eat a Halloween candy that has been differently colored to fit this day, you're just doing things incorrectly. Feel free to eat the whole bag. Just know nausea will follow.

9. Normal Sized Teddy Bear Day

Take today to hug your normally sized stuffed animals. While other people may have a teddy bear so big it won't fit in the trunk of their car you have appropriately sized plush toys.

10. Take 214 Steps Day

This day is about you. Which is why you should limit yourself to minimal physical exertion. As soon as you reach 214 steps return to bed.

11. Watch 'Valentine's Day' Day

When I say watch I mean have on repeat all day.

12. Sit In A Flower Shop Day

Don't buy, but look.

13. Give Your Mail Man Sweethearts Day

It's a nice gesture and you can get rid of the ones someone obviously gave to you unless they're the Sweettart ones. Keep those.

14. Celebrate Romantic Relationships Day

You do you.

Happy February 14th!!!

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.

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.
