Valentine's Day is the one day of the year hundreds upon thousands of people take a night, a moment, or a full day to appreciate their significant other. For all the single ladies and gentlemen out there, Valentine's Day is also an excuse to spoil yourself, and all of your wonderful closest friends. So set aside some time, and enjoy a day full of relaxation and self-love with yourself or your best friends!

1. CANDY, CANDY, CANDY

This time of the year endless amounts of heart-shaped candies, cookies, and cakes are decorating every aisle of every grocery store. The best part about being single? You can buy and eat as many of those things as you want, curled up in bed with your favorite movie on. Bonus Points if you buy a whole bag of heart-shaped candies.

2. Palentine's Day

Galentines's Day, Palentine's Day, or however you want to say it, gives you a day you can get together with your closest friends and celebrate how much you love one another. It's a time to go crazy, make some fun memories, and just enjoy being around the people who make you happiest. For the gents, try a spa day, for the ladies, some video games and beer. No judgments on Palentine's Day.

3. Make a List

On a day focused on relationships, make a list for yourself about all the pieces and parts of your life you're most thankful for and couldn't have done without your own hard work and dedication. Appreciate those high grades, or the hard workout you did at the gym. Just appreciate yourself! You deserve it.

4. Say Your Why's

Today of all days is the day to remind yourself that a relationship doesn't define who you are. Whether you're single, or dating, you are still you. A beautiful individual who will find the right person when the time is right. If you're just coming out of a relationship, remind yourself that life works in mysterious ways, and although it may not seem OK now, it's all going to work out for the best. For now, focus on you, focus on loving yourself, and the rest will come.

5. Make A Date

Not with a significant other, maybe with your friends or your dog or cat! Make yourself a plan that will allow you to end the day feeling happy and loved. Even if that date is chocolate and your bed, no judgments here, only love.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
