If you're looking for an article that's about all the beautiful things you can get for your significant other on Valentine's Day, then this is not the article for you. Here are 11 things that you shouldn't do on valentines day.

First things first:

1. Don't show up with an empty heart

You know the saying, "Never Show Up Empty-Handed." Well, this is the same thing, except you just can't come into the day feeling selfish. Leave all selfish tendencies behind and have a good day.

2. Don't be selfish.

I believe this day is for both members of a couple. All people should be treated with the same affection and the day should be happy for everyone.

3. Set the rules

Decide whether gifts are going to be given or not. No one wants to be in the awkward position of one person getting the other a gift while the other is left sitting thinking about how they don't have a gift to give to you.

4. Don't make it about the material possessions

During valentines day it is easy to get caught up in material things we can get. I want a bear, chocolate, and etc... Sometimes it should just be about spending quality time together.

5. Don't come empty handed

If it was talked about and everyone agrees to bring gifts then don't be the one person to ruin it. This isn't Christmas time with Secret Santa, where you can secretly "forget" to buy someone a gift and still receive a pair of socks.

6. Don't hate

For the single ones out there, there are the occasional Valentine's Day haters in the world and we all know who they are. But, however you feel about the day, it's best to mind your own business, keep to your own opinions, and let the lovers have their day.

7. Don't seclude yourself to your room

Spend time with your homies and less time with your bed. It's Valentine's day, but it doesn't necessarily mean it has to be about a couple. It can simply be chilling with your pals, watching a movie, and eating some snacks.

8. Don't be the opposite of adventurous

This is the day to try new things, meet new people, and just have fun. Go outo see a movie by yourself, take a nice long bath, whatever you have to do, just love doing it.

9. Don't be non-appreciative

If someone takes the day out to talk to you, see you, or take you out, you can't show that you didn't appreciate it. Show love to everyone and love will be received. Always be thankful for the things that you have.

10. Don't make any harsh plans

If you've been thinking about leaving your boyfriend for the past week, Valentine's Day may not be the best choice. Keep all rash decisions to a minimum and make good choices.

11. Don't do anything besides relax

If all goes wrong, some simple "me time" should surpass the unwanted time. Kick up your feet and go to sleep.

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.
