5 Ways To Spend Valentine's Day If You're Single

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.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
