Valentine’s Day is great and all, but especially if you’ve been with someone for a while, there no real need to put a bunch of effort into making the day special. So if you still want to do a little something for valentines day, but aren’t feeling the motivation, here are 11 ideas you can try out:

1. Watch a movie from Redbox while eating from your favorite takeout place

One of my personal favorite activities is watching a movie while eating food. I have the enjoyment of entertainment as well as the enjoyment of wonderfully unhealthy food. So grab your SO (significant other) and do it together.

2. Take a nap together

One of the other great joys in life is sleep-- so why not share it with someone you love?

3. Sit on the bed and take couples photos with funny Snapchat filters

Everyone can take a picture with the hearts filter-- but what about the tomato?

4. Play a board game

Yes, I know they’re called “bored” games for a reason, but try something classic, like Chutes and Ladders or Sorry.

5. Take a bath

This requires a larger bathtub and a familiarity with seeing each other naked, but nothing can go wrong with warm water, candles, and maybe a little scented bubble bath.

6. Make a blanket fort

We’re all still kids at heart.

7. Cuddle up in blankets while drinking hot chocolate and watching Netflix

Watching Netflix might be a regular activity for you two, but have you ever tried it with cozy blankets? And hot chocolate?

8. Make snow angels

Chances are there will be snow on the ground in February, so make the most of the chilly days.

9. Create a couple's Spotify playlist

It can be for when you’re in the car, just hanging out, or something a little more romantic. Pick songs and artists you both like and make your own playlist.

10. Do a craft together

Depending on how skilled you both are, a craft could range from cutting out paper snowflakes to scrapbooking to painting.

11. Have Valentine’s Day after Valentine's Day-- go to Target and buy all the candy on sale

This way you can still get your SO chocolate but only pay half the price.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
