8 Single-Friendly Valentine's Day Activities

Maybe you’re recently single, maybe you’ve never been on a date. Regardless of your situation, being single, even on Valentine’s Day, is a gift because you are beautiful and worth pursuing. So don’t feel blue, here are eight things to do on Valentine’s Day that don’t involve a significant other.

1. Galentine’s Day

Grab your closest single friends and head to the nearest spa or ice cream parlor. Eat together, laugh together and be together.

2. Dinner and a movie

Whether it’s dressing all fancy and seeing a romantic comedy or chilling in your pjs with takeout, sometimes there’s no better distraction than Ryan Gosling or Jamie Dornan.

3. Spa Day

When was the last time you took a day off from everything? Take one day to actually relax.

4. Take a Trip

Get outside and enjoy the fresh air. Find a place for a quiet hike and a picnic.

5. Dessert Crawl

Everyone is always giving out chocolate and candy on Valentine’s Day, but what about visiting a few dessert shops and sampling a variety of sweets with some friends?

6. Babysit

You probably know a couple who has kids and would love a night out. You’d make some money, get to hang out with kids and then you could treat yourself to something nice.

7. Volunteer

Plenty of organizations would love the extra hand! Plus, you’re sure to meet others who also want some company on Valentine’s Day.

8. Spread the love

Pass out valentines or candy to people passing by, even if you don’t know them. The little things often make the biggest differences.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
