1. Gather the troops.


Quit thinking that Valentine's Day is about lovers when it's about love. Surround yourself with the people (and/or) the pets that make your heart happy.

2. If you can't be around them, call them.

"No, mom, I'm not in jail. I just wanted to tell you I love you."

3. Pop a bottle.

Bring on the bubbly.

4. Order pizza.

Cosmos pizza! Is the pizza! For you and meee!

5. Eat the whole damn thing.

You Can focus on those New Year's resolutions later.

6. Treat every Valentine's Day like you did when you were in kindergarten.

Hand out those fun little Valentine's Day cards and put a little heart by your crush's name and maybe give them an extra lollipop, works every time. But seriously, if Valentine's Day was fun when we were five, why can't it be fun now?

7. Forget Cupid, shoot the damn arrow yourself.


Sometimes, Cupid can't aim. So go with your gut, follow your heart, and don't be afraid to make the first move. There's no better time than the present Valentine's Day, after all.

8. Meet new people.

Channel your inner "Date Mike" and go get 'em hot stuff.

9. Feel all the feels.

Valentine's Day can evoke a lot of emotions, so let it all out. The longer you hold it in, the more it'll consume you.

10. But don't sweat the small stuff.

Quit overthinking, you're going to give yourself an aneurysm.

11. Accept change.


It's constant, it's happening as we speak- embrace it.

12. Accept yourself.

You Can't truly love other people if you don't love yourself. You're doing the best you can, and that's more than enough.

13. Tell people how you really feel.

Whether that be...

or...


Like I said, good or bad, feel all the feels. "I love you" isn't the only thing that has to be said on Valentine's Day.

14. Move on.

You can get 10 free wings at Hooters for shredding a picture of your ex on Valentine's Day, but that's beside the point. If something is holding you back or is stuck in the back of your mind, let that ish go. Realize that you deserve the best and the best won't make you cry at 2am, and realize that just because something is good, doesn't necessarily mean it's good for you.

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.
