Valentine's Day is the worst holiday ever. No, I am not just saying this because I am single or because I hate candy and hate sappy love movies. I actually love love. Well, the idea of love that is. But Valentine's Day? Enough already, am I right? Here are 5 reasons why I am thankful Valentine's Day only comes around once every 365 days:

1. The pressure to be perfect is too much.

I can't be the only one who has performance anxiety. The anxiety that comes with the gifts and the long love letters and the flowers is too much for this perfectionist. Like just feed me and tell me I am pretty and I promise I will love you to the end of time.

2. Your significant other should feel loved every day.

This is so cliche and super cheesy and I hate myself for saying this but do all you lovebirds out there need an excuse to spoil your loved one? I am no expert on relationships but I used to bring home Red Lobster biscuits to my ex and he would praise me for weeks.

3. I could puke seeing all of the Instagram posts about the "happy' couples.

Come on Cindy, we know Brad cheated on you last Tuesday with Barbara, the drama was all over Twitter. You aren't fooling anyone with the picture of you two in Cabo last May with the caption, "My Forever Valentine." Give me a break.

4. My pockets shouldn't have to suffer so early in the new year.

Wasn't Christmas like three weeks ago? I am broke. The amount of money that is spent on this pointless holiday that could be spent on your spring break trip to Miami is absurd. I love you babe but I would rather spend my last hundred dollars on swimsuits and tequila shots rather than the new Call Of Duty game that you "need."

5. Being forced to talk really isn't my cup of tea.

Picture this, sitting in bed watching Netflix with your significant other and not saying a word. Now picture this, going to a crowded restaurant and yelling at your significant other from across the table about the stock market. Which one sounds better? Which one is a typical February night and which one is Valentine's Day? I rest my case.

I know I sound like The Grinch of Valentine's Day, but all jokes aside can we move on from this useless holiday and put in a new one? What about an annual Harry Potter Marathon day or an annual stay in bed and feel no shame about it day?

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
