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

Little Rock Air Force Base

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?"

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
