A Single Girl's Guide to Valentine's Day

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.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
