Although flowers and chocolates are cute cliches, there are so many more ways to show appreciation for a girl. I tend to think I am pretty easy to please (my bf may disagree :) ). If you ask me, it's more about the thought than money behind something that makes it special. Here's a "hint, hint" "cough, cough" of things that make us happy that wont break your wallet over formalities.

1. Send her cute/funny Gifs and memes throughout the day 

There's nothing that says "I love you" more than 2 cuddly puppies

2. Plan a spontaneous, cheap, and wholesome date night

Anything that involves a roadtrip, a hammock, wine, or a picnic will do the trick

3. Write her letters every so often... even if you are in driving distance of each other

It is a special and old-fashioned way to remind your partner how much you love and care about them.

4. Buy her coffee, and yes know her favorite order

I don't think boyfriends understand just how much better a PSL can make your crappy day

5. Never get tired of taking cute pictures together or being a personal photographer

Do it for the #gram and the #mems. Girlfriends appreciate it more than you think.

6. PSA:  Forehead kisses, dancing, and holding hands never get old. 

Modest PDA is a cute way to show affection on the daily.

7. Buy her cute matching... mugs, socks, boxers... anything

It's a silly way to build more inside jokes and have a reminder of the other person.

8. When she says "I don't know you pick" take her seriously and don't deflect the question back.

We know you are trying to be considerate by letting us pick the restaurant, but sometimes we really just want you to decide.

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.
