A Single Girl's Guide To Valentine's Day
Alyssa Swanson

February 14th is creeping up on us, and many mixed emotions are floating around. You have the couples, ready to show their affection with sappy gifts and Instagram posts. On the other hand, you have the singles, who well, could care less about the so-called "holiday". As much as the single squad would like to escape the giant teddy bears and fluffy hearts, well, we can't, it's all around us. So in order to make valentines day, well, not suck, here is a guide for the single girl to get through valentines day.

1. Spend it with friends.

Who says you have to be sitting alone on your couch all night? Invite your friend to join you of course!

2. Wine, movies, and snacks are a must.

Whoever said diamonds are a girl's best friend hasn't had pink moscato.

3. Spoil your friends, or yourself.

Mani's, pedis, facials, the choices are endless!

4. You still have to go to school on Valentine's day, so technically it's not actually a real holiday.

Who decided it should be a holiday? Is it a holiday? Or is it just a well known day? The questions that will never be answered.

5. Make a girl empowered Spotify playlist.

Skip the sappy love songs, blast some Beyonce.

Well, valentines day might be overrated, but at least half off chocolate the day after comes from it, so I'll take it.

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.
