14 Things To Do On The 14th Of February

Valentines day is about as useless as the first "R" in February. I've always thought it was more a holiday about love in general than loving a just significant other, but clearly Hallmark and the rest of the consumer driven industry does not agree with me. So here are some things you can do on February 14th instead of feeling sorry for yourself if you're alone, because who really has time for that.

14 Things To Do On The 14th Of February

1. Brunch with your best friend. Definitely not dinner because they probably have someone to celebrate a valentines dinner with and you don't.

2. Send your mother some flowers or a plant to remind her that you exist, so maybe you'll actually get a call from her.

3. Make your roommates breakfast. They'll think you were trying to do something nice for them but now so they'll just be forced to clean up the mess you made in the kitchen.

4. Crash your parents valentines date and remind them that you are a product of their love so you deserve to be there too.

5. Buy a box of those valentines day cards that 2nd graders are forced to give to eachother and write the name of a fuckboy you know on each card then burn them/ throw them in the ocean/ out a moving car. Matter of disposal is up to you.

6. Watch a movie with a studly lead and pretend he's professing his love to you and not Rachel McAdams.

7. Treat yo self. By this I mean eat a lot of expensive chocolate and wash it down with a bottle of wine.

8. Go out with one of your guy friends who is also painfully alone. (on this day and every other day) and pretend you're a couple so you don't have to feel the judgement of society anymore.

9. Get out doors and do something active. If you're hyperventilating you can't think about how pathetic your life is.

10. Get a puppy and force it to love you, which isn't that hard. Basically if you feed it, it will love you.

11. Have a massive cheat meal #friesnotguys

12. Send yourself flowers to work so your coworkers think someone loves you, because your mom ultimately forgot about you even though you sent her shit.

13. Get dressed up, slap on some makeup, go out and flirt with some boys.

14. Prepare for all the chocolate you will be eating once it all goes on sale the day after this stupid holiday is over.

If none of this is working for you just remind yourself that this holiday is actually total bullshit. It's just a made up holiday to make people money and you don't really need a day to show your loved ones you care.

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.
