5 Better Things To Do Than Date This Valentine's Day

Oh great, it's that time of year again where the chocolates, the flowers and the giant overstuffed teddy bears that you have no space for in your room come into the isles of all the grocery stores in town. It's the "season of love" where you are forced to watch everyone go out with their significant others while you're eating all of the heart-shaped candy you bought for yourself. But good for you, you don't need a man for Valentine's Day. Be your own date, or get together with some pals and take on Valentine's Day 2016 with this list of things to do.

1. Grab your friends and invite to the party two special someones that will always be there for you...your two best buddies, Ben & Jerry

Make it a girl's night and dance with Beyonce to "Single Ladies". It's a proven fact that friends, ice cream, rom-com movies and blankets create the best kinds of nights. Make a no phone rule, no boys, no drama, and no getting sad over other's sappy Instagram posts.

2. Make yourself a meal from all those recipes you've saved on Pinterest

You know very well you have about 186+ recipes pinned on a Pinterest board, all a variety of desserts, drinks, dinners and soups. How often will you actually take the time to make these? I know I'd rather reach for the microwavable pizza bagels. So this Valentine's Day, pick out couple of recipes, go grocery shopping ahead of time, and make yourself an awesome meal. Don't forget to turn on some tunes and dance a little while you cook!

3. Treat yo' self


Go on a shopping spree, go get your nails done, or go see a movie. You've got a busy life and in between school, work, and being social, take a day to focus on your well-being and treat yourself!

4. Have a wine and chocolate dance party


There's a reason you see people do this in romantic comedies. It's fun! Grab some Valentine's chocolate, pour some wine, and dance crazy around in your underwear to let off some steam!

5. Go out!

Who says you can't have fun and go out while you're single? Grab some of your trusty girls, do your hair and makeup, and make yourself look bomb af. Go out and have fun! There are sure to be parties to attend, and places to go have a good time!

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.
