Instead Of Valentine's Day Let's Just Have Second Thanksgiving

Because chocolate and flowers are overrated and over priced.

Single or not, I've always thought that Valentine's Day is overrated. Like, who even decided that couples needed an entire day to show the world that they love each other? I don't want to see all that extra PDA when I'm trying to go about my daily life or all those extra posts while scrolling through my social media.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for showing the person you're with that you love and care about them, but the idea of Valentine's Day just makes everyone who is single feel left out. That's why this year we should have a second Thanksgiving instead.

Hopefully, these seven reasons will convince some people.

1. Everyone is involved.

Unlike the traditional Valentine's day where it is just couples who celebrate, everyone is involved and gets to celebrate in Second Thanksgiving.

2. You don't have to go to an expensive restaurant.

With Second Thanksgiving, you can spend less money and have an entire feast.

3. You don't have to dress up.

You can have family and friends over and you all can be in your pajamas.

4. The food and dessert is better than anything you can get going out.

Nothing beats a home cooked meal or a dessert thats been baked at home.

5. You're almost celebrating the same thing.

Valentine's Day you're celebrating your love for the person you're with. But you can celebrate how thankful you are for them and how thankful you are that you're together and that they're in your love, with Second Thanksgiving. Plus, you can celebrate that with friends and family too.

6. You don't have to buy fancy chocolates and flowers.

Lets be real, both of those things are way over priced and you're just gonna eat the chocolates in one sitting and the flowers are just going to die.

7. You won't bother anyone with all the extra PDA.

Yuck.

I feel like I could go on forever but I think I've made my point pretty clear. Now, you all have a few weeks to get your friends and family together for Second Thanksgiving.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
