When February 14 comes along, if you don't have a significant other you usually feel the pressure to find a date, because nothing's worse than spending Valentine's Day alone, right? WRONG! Here are some ways to single, but still enjoy your Valentine's Day.

1. Go treat yourself!

Eat that whole box of chocolate by yourself, go shopping, bake cookies, take a long shower blasting your favorite music or go to Chick-Fil-A for the 1000th time. This day is not only about the love shared between couples, it's about loving yourself! You treat yourself!

2. Valentine’s... more like Galentine’s

There's nothing better than a day with your besties. Even though some of them are in relationships, make time to see each other. You could throw it back to elementary school where everyone gets a cute little paper Valentine or hang out and watch 50 Shades of Grey. The options are endless.

3. Look good, feel good

Every girl loves a good workout and since you've already eaten that box of chocolates, it's time to get that heart rate going. Go for a walk, a run or to the gym. Anything to make YOU feel good is the best Valentine anyone could give to themselves.

4. Go to your favorite restaurant

Everyone has that restaurant that their friends don't like to eat at. This is the day where you can go eat and enjoy it. Get that three-course meal you always wanted, take the leftovers home for tomorrow...or later that night. Show everyone who is boss by going ALONE and give love by indulging in your delicious meal.

5. Pamper yourself

What girl isn't about a spa day? Having a set of fresh nails can make any girl feel so powerful. Don't even get me started on getting a massage. Then after you can go to the steam room and just relax.

6. Shake and bake

This is probably my favorite one! Everyone loves to bake, especially if you're in college. Hello, Nestle Toll House chocolate chip cookies! Valentine's Day is the perfect day to crank up the music and bake to your heart's content. Cookies, cakes, brownies, you name it, let's bake it!

7. The day after

Let's not forget about the day after Valentine's Day where all the candy is on sale!! Where once again you can treat yourself to another box of chocolate, but at a cheaper price.

Happy Valentine's Day to all the single ladies out there!! Who knows, you might find that special someone this Valentine's Day!!

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.
