I bet that these fun facts and Valentine's Day superstitions will blow your mind. They definitely made me laugh and I had to re-read a couple of them because of how ridiculous they seemed to me. Enjoy them and remember to enjoy yourselves, friends, family, and loved ones this Valentine's Day!

If a woman sees a “winged creature” on February 14, it is supposedly predicting the type of husband she will one day marry.

  • Sparrow signifies someone poor
  • Bluebird signifies a happy man
  • Blackbird signifies a clergyman
  • Crossbill signifies an augmentative man
  • Owl signifies a spinster
  • Dove signifies a mate for life

Seeing a squirrel on Valentines Day supposedly means that you will marry a man who is a cheapskate. He will hoard all of your money away from you.


Verona, Italy is the location where Shakespeare’s famous lovers Romeo and Juliet lived. The city will receive about 1,000 letters from people that are addressed to Juliet.

In medieval times, young girls would resort to eating very unusual foods to try and dream of their future husbands.

From the Sumerians around 3500 B.C, we have the oldest surviving love poem, which is written on a clay tablet.

It is said that you will marry a man who is a crime fighter or a sailor, if you see a robin on Valentines Day.

Some romantic foods and their symbolism as according to Valentines Day:

  • Noodles symbolize a long life
  • Cabbages symbolize luck and fortune
  • Fish symbolize moving forward
  • Pomegranates symbolize fertility
  • Oranges symbolize happiness and abundance
  • Chocolates symbolize romance and power

My recommendation?

Search out the goldfinches, since they symbolize marrying a millionaire.

Did you know that cutting an apple open on Valentines Day will predict how many kids you will have? When you cut the apple in half, you then count the number of seeds. The number of seeds indicates how many kids you will have. So... two kids?

To be able to have the perfect, peaceful, and happy marriage you need to see a flock of doves on Valentines Day.

Color indicator and their true meanings:

  • Red means love and passion
  • Pink means grace and elegance
  • Orange means desire and enthusiasm
  • Yellow means a true friend
  • Lavender means enchantment
  • White means purity

May you all enjoy your Valentines Day and remember to keep an eye out for special birds.

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.

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.
