He Loves Me Not...But She Does
Susan Phillips

This is for both the taken girls who can't be with their boyfriends and the single (not mingling) majority of the female population. You girls who have boyfriends and who get to spend the day with your loved one we envy you.

To us single girls, Valentine's Day is a day dedicated to the mourning of past relationships, flings, boys, kisses, etc. This year it is especially great because it takes place on a Sunday, a day we do not have to partake in any activity aside from consuming a lot of junk food from the comfort of our beds while watching our favorite sappy yet amazing rom-com's.

I would just like to say that I am thankful for FaceTime, Ben and Jerry's and Nicholas Sparks movies on

Netflix during this emotional day. Looking through pictures of past relationships and flings is going to hit right in the feels.
Most of us want that one true love with that boy we admire from afar in our biology class, especially on this dreadful day full of giant teddy bears, chocolate and flowers. Cuddling with someone on Valentine's Day must be a wonderful feeling. However, we sometimes forget we do have that one love. Our best friends. Sometimes we are lucky and they are able to be with us on V-Day, some are our beloved roommates, some live across the country causing you face your own long distance friend relationship. Regardless of where said best friend is, they are there for you and you are there for them.


After waking up and realizing that it is, in fact, February 14th, your least favorite day of the year, you text your best friend. Immediately you dwindle upon your past relationships remembering those cute coupley things you used to do and they add the details you told them but you had forgotten about as the months passed. You both are stronger than the emotions. You have each other and that's truly all that matters. She has been there for you through it all. Regardless of distance and method of communication, she dried your tears, gave the best advice, listened to you go on and on. For you taken girls, she let you vent about how much he annoyed you, still dried your tears on the hard days and much, much more. On this Valentine's Day, try your hardest to listen to her too.

Shoutout to the best friends who are thousands of miles away at different colleges and different hometowns, with different relationship statuses. This Valentine's Day isn't only about having a romantic valentine, it's about telling those that you love how much you really do love them. As much as us anti-Valentine's Day girls want to call cupid stupid, we hope he shot an arrow out there for us. That special someone will cross your path when the time is right and you will eventually meet him. Until then, he his arrow shot between you and your bestie for these tough times, for you to always know you have someone there to lean on when you need it. But until you do find that special someone, feel free to binge eat, binge watch, binge feel. Best wishes to you all hating on someone this Valentine's.

BRB, going to snuggle with my giant teddy bear my bestie gave me. Happy V-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.
