Ready or not, Valentine's Day is almost upon us. Whether or not you're in a relationship, hanging out with friends, or kicking it solo style, Valentine's Day is the perfect day to show the important people in your life you love them--especially yourself! So no matter if February 14 is Singles Awareness Day or I Love My Partner day, here are 14 things you can do to treat yo' self.

1. Flowers

A staple of Valentine's Day, flowers are a great way to spruce up the bleakness of winter. Grab some for yourself and make your home that much brighter.

2. Chocolate

There are so few universally acceptable reasons to walk into CVS and walk out with six bags of chocolate. Take advantage, friend!

3. Spa Day

What better way to remind your body how much you love it than with some extended pampering. Go ahead, splurge, get the mani and the pedi.

4. Netflix subscription

If you don't have one already, trust me: this is the ultimate act of love.

5. Ridiculous oversized teddy bear

Come on. You know you want one. We all want one. Who wouldn't want a massive fluffy bear to cuddle with?

6. Adorable heart pajamas

Cozy and chic (kind of). They match your Netflix wonderfully.

7. Jewelry and/or clothes

Get yourself something special and practical! Grab that dress you've been eyeing and wear it all day, or that new Pandora charm.

8. New book or old book

Skip the library--you deserve your own copy. Whether you walk into Barnes and Nobel to grab a random bestseller or to finally purchase your most favorite tale, there's nothing quite like being able to read a story over and over again.

9. One Direction's new album

Got random iTunes money left over from Christmas? 1D's first album sans-Malik is to die for. Let yourself be serenaded by four fabulous Brits.

10. Candles

The perfect addition to that new book and snuggly teddy bear! Relaxing and romantic.

11. Go to the pet store to cuddle with puppies

Why on earth would I need to explain this.

12. Tickets to that cool movie that just came out

This is a great time to go to that movie that no one else wants to see, so you can laugh, cry, and cry laughing to your heart's content. Extra butter on the popcorn, please.

13. Concert tickets

With friends or with your significant other, celebrating music together is just the best.

14. Bulk amount of your favorite food

Walk into Costco. Find the largest supply of cheese sticks/hot chocolate/strawberries/Chef Boyardee. Eat and be merry.

Happy Valentine's Day, love.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
