30 Reasons to Hate Valentine's Day

If you are in a relationship or if you are single, there are always things to hate about the most dreadful holiday of the year: Valentine's Day. How much each person hates this holiday varies but this list ranges from hour long wait times at restaurants to the fact that this holiday has to be celebrated every year. I am sure that there is at least one thing that everyone can relate to and once they do they, too, will begin to hate Valentine's Day. 


1. The wait times when you go out to dinner.

2. Conversation hearts candy.

3. The overuse of the colors red and pink.

4. The idea of Cupid is just flat out stupid.

5. People focus way too much on presents.

6. The typical Valentine's day gifts are extremely cliche.

7. The unreal expectations that you unknowingly put on your significant other.

8. The unbelievably cheesy Valentine's day cards.

9. Some think that this day is the only day to appreciate your loved ones.

10. In a relationship or single, you manage to eat your weight in cheap chocolate.

11. Valentine's Day episodes of television shows.

12. If you want until the last minute, all of the good candy is sold out.

13. How people make it such a big deal when you don't even get out of school for it.

14. The terrible Valentine's day Hallmark cards.

15. The cavities that have to be filled once you visit the dentist post-Valentine's Day.

16. The wasted time you've spent on trying to come up with a unique Valentine's day present. 

17. It gives single people a 24 hour opportunity to complain about being single.

18. Every year that passes, you expect your significant other to outdo themselves.

19. People try to buy the love of others.

20. The jacked up prices for a bouquet of roses that will die within a week.

21. It is just a holiday hangover cure.

22. Someone always Instagrams their Valentine's Day presents.

23. It occurs in the worst month of the year.

24. If you're new in the relationship, stressing out about a price limit.

25. Many couples are forced to DTR on Valentine's Day. 

26. The endless amount of cheesy television commercials.

27. With the inflated prices, it can easily break the bank.

28. All romantic venues are over-capacitated with lovestruck couples.

29. The cheap looking decorations.

30. The fact that it occurs every single year.

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.
