50 Things That Are Better Than A Valentine
weheartit.com

February 14th lurks around the corner once again. The boxes of Russell Stover chocolates, candy sweethearts, and teddy bears holding hearts reading “I love you” have been taunting you in the supermarkets for weeks. It feels like there are more couples holding hands and kissing than ever before, and you can’t stand it. Your relatives have been asking you if there’s anyone special in your life for years, and this one is no different. But who cares? You’d much rather spend your weekends at the bar shamelessly flirting with guys and knocking back drinks with your best girlfriends than staying in to cuddle and watch movies anyways. Plus, you’d much rather have the whole bed to yourself. Here are 50 things that are better than a Valentine:


1. Free samples.

2. A new jar of peanut butter.

3. Good hair days.

4. Instagram likes.

5. Jeans that make your butt look good.

6. Seeing an ugly picture of your ex’s new girlfriend.

7. Carbs.

8. Getting compliments from strangers.

9. Not wearing a bra.

10. Not shaving your legs.

11. Doing nothing all day long.

12. Beyonce.

13. Breakfast sandwiches when you’re hungover.

14. Finding money in your jacket pocket.

15. Snow days.

16. Finding out the deadline for your paper got pushed back.

17. Happy hour.

18. Brand new pens.

19. Reality TV.

20. Red wine.

21. White wine.

22. Wine.

23. The feeling when you finally double space your paper.

24. Onesies.

25. Finding old gift cards you forgot existed.

26. Pooping in peace.

27. Any new Justin Bieber song.

28. Cute old people.

29. Going to Target.

30. Sleeping in.

31. Getting paid.

32. A full refrigerator.

33. Things organized neatly.

34. Puppies.

35. Seeing your food coming at a restaurant.

36. Fridays.

37. Sleeping naked.

38. Getting told you don’t have to come into work.

39. The feeling when the cashier applies your coupons.

40. Getting the parking spot closest to the entrance.

41. Taking your heels off.

42. Half-price sushi.

43. Remembering you have leftovers in the fridge.

44. Not hitting traffic.

45. New makeup.

46. The sale section of Urban Outfitters.

47. Fuzzy socks.

48. Feeling tan.

49. Birthday cards with money in them.

50. Spending Valentine’s Day alone with this:


So the next time you’re down on yourself for spending Valentine’s day alone, think again. Having a “special someone” isn’t everything, despite what your grandmother may think. Enjoy your single years. Do things for yourself. Stay in your sweatpants all day. Eat a whole pizza by yourself. Make drunken mistakes. Laugh about it in the morning. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Because when the day comes around that you’re ready to settle down, you might even miss it (just a little).

And remember— chocolate goes on sale February 15th.

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.
