5 Reasons You Should Feel Bright On Saint Valentine's Day
Suvan Chowdhury

ENOUGH with your foul accusations, and cruel assassinations on the character of Saint Valentine's day. TRULY!

Every single (pun intended) Saint Valentine’s Day there's someone who complains about how the day breaks their heart- How there's a gaping hole in their lives and this holiday is a mere reminder to them of it.

That is particularly why I've drafted a list of reasons to enjoy the holiday for anyone:

1. If you're taken

See what I did there?! In all seriousness- good for you. Haters will say that EVERY day should be Saint Valentine's, but that's an absolutely rubbish notion. Pink will go out of style too quickly! Also, it's a fact that not every day will be happy, perfect, or romantic- but this day of all the days of the year should be. Enjoy your love and celebrate it.

2. If Saint Valentine's isn't going as well as you expected

Did you really think this was going to be an only-happy list?

Sometimes, for Saint Valentine's we might end up with someone we aren't the happiest with. Sometimes it's not the most magical of days. That's okay too.

Well no, it's not. Don't feel so alone! Cuffing season peaks at around February (Huffington post even made some cuffing season graphs to prove my point!) and you wouldn't be alone. To that I say, I'm sorry, and I hope you reignite your spark on this wonderful day.

Or not.

3. If you're single

You have a choice to decide whether you're going to complain and hate on others, or be glad and happy for others and write an article telling people not to hate on Valentine's day. Truthfully, the choice is yours.
Valentine's Day can also be a chance for you to drop a hint for someone you fancy OR get in those swell sales that happen at donut shops or what not. If that doesn't make you feel better, remember everyone will eventually die and be alone! Maybe you got out of a relationship and don't want one, or something along the lines of that story- your feelings of missing out are valid, but don't let them get to you.

4. If you're in between

A Saint Valentine's day is a GREAT time to go steady with someone you've been seeing on and off. Remember, a relationship isn't a remote control, it can't switch between off and on!

5. If you like to complain

Regarding "Saint Valentine's day is too materialistic", "every day should be saint valentine's day", "people need to stop lambasting about their S/O and how in love they are"...

I think we've all done that regardless of our relationship status at one point or another because it's simply easy and entertaining to criticize something. Most things said aren't useful, they teach or accomplish nothing. Why be a cloud when you can be a ray of sunshine, honestly!?

Moral of the story: let people enjoy things. Let people love each other.

If you see someone unhappy- try to make their day (watch their favorite film with some ice cream or something!)

Most importantly,

Don’t cry because you’ve got no one to moon over- for you, you are a star.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
