25 Ways To Celebrate Everyone You Love On Valentine's Day

My memories of Valentine's Day are trying to get all the candy possible in elementary/middle school. In high school, it turned into "Single's Awareness Day" according to one of my friends. As I've gotten older, and even though I've met a significant other, I have realized Valentine's Day is about love as a whole, not just romantic love.

Here are 25 ways you can love EVERYONE including your significant other on Valentines Day:

1. Send your grandma a handmade card from the heart.

2. Call your mom, she misses you and wants to know what you're up to.

3. Have a romantic comedy movie marathon with your BFF and have a good laugh.

4. Treat yourself to a nice meal.

5. Netflix and chill with your significant other.

6. Talk about the latest football game with your dad.

7. Ask your sister what's been going on in her life and how school is.

8. Ask your brother how his life is going and how work is.

9. Go bowling with your significant other. Friendly competition is fun!

10. Pet dogs you see on your college campus and ask the owners about them.

11. Take advantage of Valentine's Day sales and treat yourself.

12. Take care of yourself and get a new look to boost your self confidence.

13. See how your little cousin's new puppy is doing.

14. Play 21 questions with a new friend.

15. Go on a walk with a group of friends to the bookstore, but with no phones.

16. Treat your friend to food or coffee.

17. Go to the movies this weekend and watch a non-romantic themed movie.

18. Or watch a romance movie.

19. Be creative! Make cards for all your friends but make them personal to each friend.

20. Make a home cooked meal and have all your loved ones over.

21. If you can't have loved ones over, cook dinner for you and your roommates.

22. Write a list on everything you love about a family member, friend, or significant other and give it to them as a present.

23. Write a list on what you love about yourself, Valentine's Day is about you too.

24. If you really don't want to celebrate Valentine's Day, you can take the holiday to get your homework done and get ahead of everyone else on your homework.

25. Love yourself! After all, as the drag queen Ru Paul always says, "If you can't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else? Can I get an amen?"

AI music threatens creativity

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
