There are so many things I really don't like about Valentine's day. Maybe it's the subpar memories or the hype around celebrating not being single. Personally, I think Valentine's Day is just another sham holiday that started out religious and now is a capitalist pit (just like Christmas). There is some good things about Valentines Day, like the present reminder to celebrate love. Love comes in all forms; romantic, friendships, and within yourself. This Valentines day, try some of these ways to love yourself

1. Take a Bath

Candles and all! Set on some calming music and find a good read, such as a magazine or book.

2. Get your nails done

Pamper yourself. Get a design if you want!

3. Go pet puppies!

There is literally no pure love than a dogs love to be pet.

4. Cook Dinner/Go to your favorite place

Comfort food is the best option!

5. Watch a drama movie

Rom-Coms are overrated on V Day so go for something with a little more depth. I recommend Good Will Hunting.

6. Don't get on social media

Social Media is a hate factory. This is a day for love, so beat it! Also, DO NOT stalk your ex. I cannot press this enough. It will not help you, and it is the worst form of hate, either with them or yourself.

7. Hang out with friends

Your Bffls will always hold a place in your heart.

8. Eat Ice Cream

Ice Cream makes everything better.

9. Get flowers for yourself!

I recommend peonies or orchids.

10. Buy yourself something nice

Because you should always buy loved ones gifts, even yourself!

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
