8 Reasons Why You Do Not Have a Valentine

8 Reasons Why You Do Not Have a Valentine

Sometimes, when Valentine’s Day rolls around, we may sit around and wonder, why? Why not me? Why am I alone drowning in calories from cheap wine and chocolates with flowers sent only by my mother? Well, this might be your answer.


1. You have no time. You are far too busy with more important things, such as school and hobbies, to be looking around for a Valentine just for one day. I mean, roses are red and violets are blue, but vodka costs less than dinner for two.


2. You are self-absorbed. 
You think you are too good to share your heart and give it to a significant other; you would rather spend the day honoring yourself.


3. You are straight up awkward. 
You have absolutely no idea how to show affection, and any attempt is perceived as a slur of words followed by immediate regret.


4. You like your independence. 
You know that you have absolutely no problem celebrating this day by yourself. You are perfectly content with a box of low-fat chocolates and a marathon of Grey's Anatomy. You have no interest in a significant other because you want to do absolutely everything on your own.


5. You have no chill. 
You are all over the place, all the time. You are the type of girl who is up on stage dancing like nobody is watching, or you are the girl who is drunk off of bottomless mimosas before noon. You rely on no one to have a good time and your chill is nowhere to be found.


6. You are too obsessed with your girlfriends. 
Valentine’s Day, to you, was a day meant to bust open a bottle of wine (or five) and host lingerie parties with your favorite gal pals. You trash talk your exes and those who actually have dates that night.


7. You didn’t get very many matches. 
Tinder was a bit slow this week.


8. You have your priorities straight.
You might not be the most relatable person to be around, and you may have some pretty odd interests, but honestly, Valentine's Day just isn't for you.


Better luck next year, ladies.

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.
