If you're like me, you LOVE Valentine's day! However, sometimes the good old dinner and a movie gets boring. This year, I decided that I want to do something different with my boyfriend for Valentine's Day. Here are a few of the ideas I came up with.

1. Go To Painting With A Twist

If you don't know what that is, it's basically like taking a class with Bob Ross. An instructor shows you how to paint, and you follow along and create a masterpiece.

2. Plan your future together

This one might only be for long term couples, but sometimes it's nice to just talk about what you want together.

3. Stay in with a movie

Whether it's a romantic one or not, sometimes staying home and watching movies with your significant other is the best thing to do.

4. Go on a group date

For a change of pace, but still a classic date, try going out with other couples.

5. Make something together

Whether you simply paint together or make a project, crafting together is always fun!

6. Volunteer together

Doing good for someone else together is a great way to spend your day! It will give you great memories for years to come.

7. Go to an arcade

Spending time at an arcade is an innocent, fun thing to do together.

8. Go to a trampoline park

Find the closest Sky Zone (or something similar) and go jump your heart out together!

9. Go ice fishing

Or if you're lucky enough to live where it's warm in February, go regular fishing!

10. Wine or beer tasting

If you're of the age, going wine tasting, or craft beer tasting is always a good option!

11. Get a couples massage

Relaxing together with a massage will set you up for a nice stress-free day together.

12. Play video games together

Sometimes mixing it up with some good old competition is fun! I recommend Mario Kart!

13. Cook dinner together

Whether it's taco's or a five-course meal, cooking together is so fun and a great way to spend your day.

14. Stay in bed all day

If all else fails, staying in bed and relaxing all day is always a good option!

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
