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!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

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.
