7 Reasons To Love Valentine's Day

Valentines Day. The day dedicated to the Saint Valentine is something many people have come to completely hate, or completely adore. There doesn't seem like there's much room for gray area anymore in regards to this holiday.

On the one hand, I completely understand how one could not like Valentine's Day. There is a lot of pressure put on this holiday now a days to be a perfect day for couples and dreaded for those who don't have a significant other. Reservations are placed months in advanced for expensive restaurants and there is a mad dash to find the perfect present and be the perfect level of romantic to make the day #goals and be Insta-worthy. On the bright side, if you are bae-less this Valentine's Day, you're in luck. There are so many things to look forward to on this day you may never have thought of.

1. Target has cute Valentine's Day themed stuff in the $1 section

Heck yes I want a cute XOXO banner and pretty pink pastel things for my dorm room. $1? That's my favorite price next to free. Also adorable stationary, pens, pencils, and craft supplies? This is perfect. I love Valentine's Day.

2. All your couple friends are busy, so you have a free day with nobody asking you to do stuff

You love your friends, but always having to do stuff starts to get tiring after awhile. With all your couple-y friends busy with each other it's the perfect day to drop in a Lush bath bomb and relax all day long. Nobody is bothering you today.

3. Heart shaped everything

Pizzas, cookies, cakes, candies, everything you could ever want in the shape of a heart. Who doesn't feel just a little bit better eating something in the shape of a heart? I know I feel better about it.

4. Half price stuff as soon as Valentine's day is over

This is pretty self explanatory. Sale stuff is cool.

5. All of your friends in relationships have too much candy to eat by themselves so you get to help eat it

No I won't buy myself one of those heart boxes of chocolates. Yes, I will take a bite out of every one of yours and help you eat it.


6. The perfect day to marathon all your favorite rom com movies and feel okay about it because it's 'in the spirit of the holiday.'

7. If all else fails, go out with your other single friends and have a Galentine's day Parks and Rec style

As you can see, Valentine's day doesn't have to be a sad day for all you singles out there. Get out and get some sweet Valentine's deals and curl up in a facemask with your favorite rom coms and some chocolates you stole from your friend. Who needs a bae anyway?

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.

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.

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.
