A Single Girl's Guide to Valentine's Day

dailyurbanista.com

Ahhh Valentine's Day. Love to hate it and hate to love it. Well not this year fellow single ladies. This is the year to embrace riding solo on this day of love. Who says you have to spend it with a boy? Why not spend it with your friends, family or even just by yourself? Here is my single girl's guide to Valentine's Day.

Treat yo-self

You know you have wanted to get a manicure for awhile so why not just treat yourself and go get your nails done on Valentine's Day. Spend today pampering yourself, whether it be getting your hair done, a massage or buying that pair of shoes you have always wanted. Celebrate yourself today. You deserve it!

Have a Galentine's Day

Spend the day with your gals and best friends. Have a secret valentine exchange and focus on your friendships rather than a boy. Go out to dinner, order some campus cookies and spend the day watching Rom-Coms. And if you don't want to do more of a "Girl's Night In", then plan a "Girl's Night Out". Go downtown or go dancing. Spend the day making even more wonderful memories with your favorite gals.

Go on a hike or a long walk

Go out and get some fresh air. Take the time for yourself to enjoy your surroundings and the great outdoors. For me, I always find my greatest inner peace when I go hiking or go running. Do what makes you feel good today!

Buy flowers for yourself

Who says you need a boy to buy you flowers? Go out and by some just for you. Not only will they smell good, but flowers always brighten up a room and your mood. And heck while you are at it buy yourself some chocolate too. You can be your own valentine this year.

Spend the day with family

Spend the day with the people who will always love you and make you feel special no matter how old you get. This year I am making the trip home to spend the weekend with my mom. She is my forever valentine and I know that no matter what boy comes in my life, I will always have her to be my person on this day of love.

Have a dance party

Dance to all your favorite songs sung by your favorite divas with your roommates or even by yourself. Throw on some Rihanna, Beyonce, or Taylor Swift and let loose. There is no greater feeling than just dancing around and being silly.

Who said Valentine's Day had to be celebrated only when you're in a relationship? It is a day about love. It is a day to celebrate love for yourself and the people in your life. Don't sit around and feel sad because you're single, but embrace the day as a day to treat yourself and a day to make new memories.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college 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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
