Single or Taken: A Guide to Survive Valentine's Day
Alexander Correa



The day of love Is coming up.

I know, I know, half of you may love Valentine's Day and half of you may hate it. Regardless of the side you're on, this short and simple guide will be sure to help you get through Valentine's Day.

TAKEN?

  • Give them something the day before, even if it's the smallest thing, I can promise you if you tell them "it doesn't need to be Valentine's Day to show I love you," their heart will melt. Then proceed to follow up with something on Valentine's because, you know, can't upset your special someone.
  • Write a cute love note to make them feel special.
  • Make sure you get those roses, chocolates, and teddy bears ready (the bigger the better). Spending more doesn't mean you love them more, but come on, imagine your partners face when they see a huge teddy bear.
  • Plan a fun, cute, or romantic date! You know your partner, maybe mini golf is something they'd love or maybe they like to dress up and have dinner, going out on top of the little gifts is sure to win you bonus points.
  • Tell your partner they look great (No matter what they wear, make them feel special.)
  • Listen to some music, watch movies, and cuddle: Do the cute things that you both love.

People, I'm taken, but sadly my girlfriend is studying abroad this semester. I'll be spending valentines on my own this year. Still, you can follow these steps:

Single?

Now to all my single people, don't worry. This Valentine's Day I'm going to be alone so, hopefully, these steps can ease your mind about the day of love. At the end of the day, it's another day, and as much as I like it's not for everyone. Just enjoy the day whether you're taken or not, it's a day of love so at the very least you can love yourself, friends, or significant other, just enjoy the day.

  • Love yourself, you deserve it!
  • Go do something you like, whether it be watching a movie, some sort of physical activity, or even getting a table for one, the best love is your own love so enjoy the day like it's any other.
  • Get your own chocolate, binge some Netflix, and get some health care on.
  • If you're of age, enjoy a glass of wine or a cold one and relax.
  • Go out with some friends, Valentine's is a day of love and we all love our close friends!

To those of you who share my love for February 14th, Happy Valentine's Day.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. 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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
