5 Valentine's Day Alternatives

Valentine’s Day is coming up, or as some prefer, Singles Awareness Day. From what I’ve seen, there are two kinds of people: those who love Valentine’s Day, and those who hate it. If you’re one of the people who hate it or you just don’t have anyone to spend it with (or both), here are a few alternatives.

Pamper day with your friends.

One of the best things in the world is spending time with friends, so go ahead and invite them over, grab a bottle of wine or two and allow yourselves to act like girls. I’m talking nail painting, face mask wearing and boy gossiping. Just like the movies.


Road trip to nowhere.

Personally, driving around with my music up and my windows down is really relaxing. So take a drive; to the beach, to the park, to the grocery store for more ice cream. Everywhere and nowhere.

Celebrate friends and family.

Valentine’s Day is all about love; just because you don’t have a significant other doesn’t mean you don’t love anyone. Sometimes your friends and family need a little extra love, especially if they’re in the same single-boat as you. Remind them how much you love and appreciate them, whether it’s a box of chocolates or a hug.

Celebrate yourself.

Have a bubble bath, eat your favorite food and wear your favorite outfit. You’re just as worthy of love as anyone else, so give yourself a little extra. There’s nothing wrong with a little TLC.


Treat it like any other day.

At the end of the day, it’s just another day. Love should be celebrated and appreciated every day of the year, not just one.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
