Valentine's Day is fast approaching, and love is truly in the air. For some, they love spending this day with their S.O, and for the rest, it just reminds us of how single we are. If you are part of the few that are flying solo this year, here are some reasons why you're better off:

1. You'll be saving quite a bit of money

Think about how expensive those giant teddy bears are, and how you don't have to buy one

2. You're not wasting your time on the wrong person

It may be nice to have a date on the day of love, but make sure they're actually worth it first

3. Preparing for Valentine's Day is exhausting

Can you even imagine the hell that is making a dinner reservation for that day?

4. You won't be disappointed

I'm not saying men are disappointing, but if you don't have a man, you have no chance of being disappointed by one

5. You'll have more me-time

While everyone else is going out on a date, you'll have the chance to catch up on homework. Or more time to procrastinate

6. Galentine's Day is soooo much better

Leslie Knope knew what she was doing when she created a holiday just for spending time with your girls

7. Movie night!!

And not some cheesy romance film, because gross!

8. Buying half-priced chocolate the day after is the BEST

That's where the real celebration is at

9. It's pretty much just another day

People think we only have to be affectionate for just one day? Pssh

10. The holiday is actually VERY overrated

Don't let those gross chick flicks tell you otherwise. Love is not just dancing in the ocean, or whatever the hell Rachel McAdams did in The Notebook

So if you got a man to celebrate with this February, great! If you don't, no need to sweat it. Being single on the day of love is no big deal, because, really, it's just another day. Soon, February 15 will roll around and the day of flowers, dates, and disappointments will just be a memory.

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.
