8 Things You Can Buy If You Didn't Have To Waste Money On A Valentine

Thank sweet baby Jesus that Valentine's Day is over for another 300+ days. Now that you've suffered through watching other couples be all lovey-dovey at fancy restaurants and show their love for each other through oversized teddy bears and Pandora bracelets, you can finally put that money to use that you saved from not having to spend it on a Valentine. In case you need some ideas on where to blow through your single money, try some of the ideas below.

1. Sale candy from Valentines Day

Half off is great but give it a few more days and it will be 75% off. Just like patience is key in finding love, patience is key in finding the best sales for chocolate. Besides, pink and red wrapped Reese's taste just as good as the regular ones.

2. The new Beyonce album

It's coming people, mark my words. I mean, she is the creator of the single girl anthem so it's only right to buy her album when it's released.

3. A puppy

If you're still really upset that you don't have a life companion, this is the answer for you.

4. An oversized teddy bear

Okay, so I may have hated on people buying this for their significant other earlier, but it's totally fine if you buy one for yourself. Right? Right.

5. A very regular, not heart shaped pizza

It totally looked like there was less pizza in that box for the same price anyway. Single people like us know how to find a good pizza.

6. A very regular, not heart shaped doughnut

Okay, these were cute but totally unnecessary. They would have been better if they were cold, heart shaped doughnuts. Much more relatable.

7. New shoes

Nothing in this world can make a girl feel better than a new pair of shoes. Tennis shoes, heels, flats, boots. There are plenty of fish in the shoe sea.

8. Pajamas

Since you didn't have anywhere to go, chances are you probably stayed in bed in your pajamas. You might as well use some of that money you saved from not having a Valentine to buy yourself a nice new pair. Besides, you'll need them for next year anyway.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
