How to Survive Valentine's Day Single
The Odyssey

February 14th is a dangerous day. Whispers of dinner plans at fancy restaurants. Heart shaped boxes of chocolate. Bouquets of flowers. Marriage proposals. It's a cruel world for the relationshipless population. But rest assured, I have composed a simple 10 step plan to get all my fellow single ladies through Valentine's Day in one piece- more or less.

1. Stay in your pajamas all day

No boyfriend? No one to impress. An oversized sweatshirt and fuzzy socks feel better than cuddling anyway.

2. Cook yourself a killer breakfast

You would make a bombass wife, but oh well, his loss.

3. Put your phone someplace out of reach

If you can't see all the gushy Instagrams, Tweets, and Snapchats it's easier to pretend everyone else is just as miserable single as you.

4. Hit the gym

Maybe the key to love is not having love handles??

5. Order in your favorite takeout

Chances are the delivery guy is single too...this could lead something...

6. Watch a Rom-Com

The Proposal, 10 Things I Hate About You, When Harry Met Sally, and anything Nicholas Sparks

7. Pour yourself a glass of wine

Pro of being single: you get the drink the whole bottle yourself

8. Eat a ton of ice cream

It fills a void no boy could ever reach

9. Cry a bit

But don't get your tears in the wine, you don't want to dilute it

10. Fall asleep enjoying the fact that you don't have to share the bed

Who's the real winner here?


If you closely follow these 10 steps, I can almost guarantee that you will make it through Valentine's Day alive.

*** Results may vary. These steps do not guarantee any relationship in the foreseeable future.

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.
