Okay, so it’s that time of year again not Christmas, but Valentine’s Day. Now for those who like the day, you do you and enjoy the day. For those of us who dislike the day, you might want to stick around and learn why this day isn't that sucky for us single people.

1. If you’re not entirely alone in the market, then your besties are your go-to “dates” or drinking buddies.

Seriously though, every person needs a friend to go out with and have fun, not be depressed about being single and making some good memories that you'll know you won't regret.

2. You don't feel obligated to dress up and spend a lot of money to impress someone.

Y'all this is college, chances are you probably stayed up until 4 am studying for a test that is at 8,9 or 11 am. When you wake up and realizes it Valentine's day, you probably thinking "oh $%^& I have a date" and don't feel like dressing nicely at all and apparently forgot a gift for your date. With being single, you can dress like a bum and save money from not doing last minute shopping.

3. You still get candy, it just the day after Valentine's day when most stores have the big sale on candy.

I'm the type of person that loves to make small presents for Valentine's day for all my friends. Some people who are in relationships don't do that because they want to save up money for a gift. By being single, you can splurge on the people that been there since day one.

4. You don't feel too guilty for wanting to stay in.

If you're in a relationship, you feel obligated to go out or leave the house to go to another's, and if you feel like not going, you tend to feel guilty. As a single person, you don't have guilt for wanting to stay in and watch Netflix.

Single people, I hope this article makes you feel less crappy about your current situation! Got any more benefits? Leave a comment below

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.
