February, to begin with, is just an awkward month in general because of the whole leap year thing.

Once February 1 comes, thus begins the preparation for Valentine's Day.

Whether in a relationship or single, I have had the same mindset on the holiday of love friendship so here are my thoughts.

1. Celebrate your significant other every day, not just on Valentine's Day.


So many people choose Valentine's Day to be the one day of the year, besides your anniversary, to go above and beyond and express your love for your significant other. If truly love your partner then flood them gifts on good and bad days, holiday or not. Every day is the best day.

2. No Valentine? No problem!


If you think that Valentine's Day was just a holiday for people in relationships, then honey you are so wrong. Being single on a holiday based on love can get pretty lonely but who said you have to show love for a significant other? Show your love for your girls and celebrate Galentine's Day. Go see the new Fifty Shades of Grey movie or have girl's night!

3. The beginning and what should've been end of T Swift's acting career

In 2010 the world got experience Taylor Swift's first movie debut in the movie "Valentine's Day". Whether it was just her obnoxious character or her acting skills it was crudely entertaining. Aside from Taylor's acting, the movie was fun because it had celebrities that we all love including Patrick Dempsey, Anne Hathaway, Queen Latifah and George Lopez.

4. Cupcakes, cookies, and chocolate, oh my!

If you have a thing for baking or just like eating baked goods in general then Valentine's Day is your holiday. I have always loved having friends who enjoy baking heart-shaped cookies and putting them into gift bags filled with chocolate. The best part is that on February 15 all the candy is 50% off!

5. Last but not least, why do people get engaged on Valentine's Day?

One thing that I have always questioned is the fact that people get engaged on Valentine's Day and other big holidays such as Christmas. Personally I would rather prefer a proposal on a day where it is just the couple celebrating their love and relationship than the entire world.

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.

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.
