Ahh, Valentine's Day. If you have a significant other this day is amazing filled with chocolates, stuffed animals, and fancy dinners. If you're single, however, this day is filled with what seems like the universe taunting you with love everywhere you walk.

If you are single, fear not! I am giving you five ways to spend your Valentine's Day that do involve celebration!

1. Celebrate Galentine's Day!

Sisters before misters! Who needs a date when you've got a great group of girlfriends! Your girls have been there with you through it all, so your friendship deserves to be celebrated!

2. Date Yourself!

Take a note from Ann Perkins and take yourself on a date this Valentine's Day! Go to a fancy dinner and order something you normally wouldn't, buy yourself chocolates and jewelry and don't feel guilty about it! Today is YOUR day!

3. Celebrate Another Holiday That's February 14th!

Although Valentine's Day does outshine the others, there are actually quite a few holidays that fall on February 14th including Library Lovers Day! So if you aren't celebrating Valentine's Day, then celebrate another holiday!

4. Dedicate This Day To Your Greatest Love: Your Pet

I fully believe that no man could love me as much as my dog does. So really my dog is my true Valentine! I'll be sure to send her a heart-shaped treat and if I was with her I'd spend my day cuddling with her.

5. Find a Substitute Valentine

If you and a friend are both lonely this Valentine's Day, why not pretend to be a couple for a day? This way you get presents, fancy dinner, and the lack of feeling completely alone!

So, to all my fellow single people out there, this Valentine's Day you have plenty of options so that you can feel as loved as that girl who gets flowers delivered to her office.

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.

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.
