5 Reasons Flowers Are The Perfect Gift
Shannon Bay Gregory

Ahh Valentine's Day... so cute, so lovely, so heartfelt, but if you haven't found the "perfect" gift for your valentine, it can be so stressful.

Don't worry, it doesn't have to be! Why not just pick up some flowers? Flowers are always the perfect gift, and here's why:

1. Flowers are gorgeous

Everyone likes looking at flowers because they're pretty to look at, that's just a fact. They brighten up any room and automatically make any area more aesthetically pleasing.

2. Flowers can be low cost

You don't have to spend a fortune on an arrangement of flowers. If you're buying flowers on a budget, that's fine! Honestly, they're going to look nice no matter what because, going back to reason number one, they're flowers, they're beautiful -- we've discussed this. If you don't want the flowers to look cheap, you can spruce them up yourself with a nice vase or some ribbon.

3. Flowers are easy to acquire

Where can you get flowers? A. Lot. Of. Places. Other than the florist, you can get them from a grocery store, sometimes a gas station, sometimes a street vendor, and sometimes you can even pick them and arrange them yourself.

4. Flowers can be very personal

There are more than 400,000 types of flowers on this Earth, and out of these, many of us have our favorites. Finding that special someone's favorite type of flower, or incorporating some of their floral favorites into a beautiful presentation, is sure to have them gushing. There is an extremely vast number of unique botanical combinations --be creative!

5. Flowers make people happy

I know, I know, "everyone says that," but, yes, they say it for a reason. Flowers have been proven to help reduce anxiety. I mean, it makes sense, who doesn't just smile at how wonderful phenomena of nature can be?

Also, flowers are the perfect way to make your significant other feel loved. Flowers are literally the symbol of love in so many works of literature, poetry, film and etcetera.

No matter who your valentine is this year, I'm sure the gift of flowers would put a smile on their face.

It is always the little thoughtful gestures that end up counting the most.

Happy Valentine's Day and much love!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
