Before you go sobbing, watching the new Fifty Shades and drowning yourself in wine, remember, being single on Valentine’s Day is not too bad. In fact, it’s pretty f*cking awesome. Here are five reasons why Valentine's Day isn't the worst for all the single ladies.

1. It’s a great excuse for a girls night out.

While many girls feel like sitting on their couch with a box of chocolate all night, I say it’s the perfect night to get up, get fleeky, and go out with your best friends. There’s no better way to celebrate being single than with your girlfriends.

2. One word; chocolate.

Who needs a boyfriend to give them a box of chocolate when there’s the nearest CVS? In fact, we all win the golden ticket on Valentine’s Day; there’s chocolate, everywhere. So, grab your friends and every box of chocolate you see. Calories are a lot more fun when consumed with your girl friends anyways!

3. No need to post that classic boyfriend Instagram.

While many people think social media should be off limits for single people on V-Day, I say it’s the perfect opportunity for sarcastic humorists like myself to get together and laugh at all the sappy boyfriend posts on Instagram--maybe we’re really laughing at ourselves, but that’s okay.

4. No need to panic about buying the perfect present.

While many people scramble to find the perfect gift for their significant others, all those who are single can relax and watch the chaos. If anything, treat yourself with those shoes you’ve been obsessing over!

5. A reminder you don’t need anyone but yourself.

While it initially may suck waking up to spending yet another Valentine’s Day alone, it really is not the end of the world. In the end, you don’t need anyone but yourself. So, take this time to practice some self-love. You are your own best friend.

So, this isn’t some type of female-empowering pep-talk. It’s just a little harsh reminder that you're not just single on Valentine’s Day, you're single every other day too. So, don’t make Valentine’s Day an excuse to dwell on your lonely misery. These are the best years of your life to be single, so embrace every second of them!

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
