How To Deal With Valentine's Day

Here it comes again. February is the month of the year when everybody only cares about Valentine's Day. Well, except for you. If you're single, you don't have any dates or you just simply enjoy being alone, here is something you can do to spend Valentine's Day on your own.

1. Treat yourself by going to a fine-dining restaurant and ordering the most expensive dish.

Who needs a girlfriend/boyfriend to take you there. You can go by yourself anyway.

2. Surprise yourself with a gift.

Jealous of all the gifts that couple give each other? Don't be. You can buy whatever you want with your own money and still be happy. Get yourself a nice dress, a pair of new shoes, or a designer handbag. Love, love fades away, but things, things are forever.

3. Invite your friends over your house.

Make some popcorn, turn on Netflix, and have good time together. There are a bunch of things you can do with them: play video games, have a beauty makeover, or just simply sit there and make fun of the cheesy couples on social media. It is the cheapest and a fun way to spend Valentine's day.

4. Or you can ... You know what I mean.


If anybody asks what is your plan for Valentine's day, just confidently answer them. There is nothing wrong with being alone.

Don't feel bad for yourself for spending Valentine's day alone. In fact, you still have your family and your friends. Ignore all the couples' posts all over Instagram. It's none of your business and you don't have to care anyway. Don't make yourself look pathetic by crying and whining on social media.

After all, it's just another ordinary Sunday. There is no need to feel bad or compare yourself to others. Love comes and goes all the time, and maybe it's not your time yet. The important thing is to love yourself and become a better person.

HAPPY SINGLES AWARENESS 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.
