It does not matter whether you are celebrating this Valentine's Day with a significant other or not, Valentine's Day should be a time not to forget to love yourself. Before you can give yourself to someone else, you have to love yourself. So for Valentine's Day this year, here's a list of ideas to better take care of yourself, because you beautiful human being deserve only the best.

1. Look in the mirror everyday and give yourself a compliment, because you are looking pretty fantastic today!

2. You've been eyeing that bracelet/makeup set/box of chocolates/etc all week, go "treat yoself!" You can spoil yourself!

3. Blast your favorite tunes in your dorm/room/car and don't be afraid to dance! (well unless, you're in the car you probably should substitute dancing with just singing)

4. Dress up. When you look your best, your confidence goes up. No occasion needed to pull out that dress you never think you'd get to wear again.

5. Smile more. It looks good on you. According to the James-Lange theory of emotion, smiling causes you to feel happy.

6. Challenge yourself. Try something that scares you a little. Get out of your comfort zone and learn more about yourself.

7. At the end of the week, write down the things that made you happiest that week. Focus on the positive aspects of your week; you'll probably find that your week was better than you initially thought.

8. Exercise! According to Elle Woods (Legally Blonde), "exercise gives you endorphin's. Endorphin's make you happy..." Being in a good physical state can help put you in a good mental state.

9. Volunteer. Find something that you're passionate about and help out. Helping others will make you feel good.

10. Take some deep breaths of fresh air in the great outdoors!

Make sure that you focus on yourself and show yourself some love this Valentine's 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.
