How To Slay V-Day When You're Single
Wise Geek

Ladies and Gents,

If you're like me you might be finding yourself spending yet another Valentine's Day alone. However, DON'T WORRY. We're young, we're hot, we're fun, and someday some loser is finally going to realize it! So, instead of sulking, watching "The Notebook" and crying into a bowl of ice cream about how you'll never find love - change the 'tude and learn how to SLAY YOUR DAY.

Step 1: Wake up and tell yourself you're a boss @$$ b*tch that don't need no man (or woman).

Today's your day. Screw the couples, the crushes, and the supposed "in love"... you're going to ROCK IT.

Step 2: Get a killer workout done early in the morning.

Nothing makes me feel like I could take on the world more than when I have a really great workout. Start your day off positive.

Step 3: Dress up for yourself.

Whether you want to rock some tight leather pants or you just want to go out in yoga pants and a tee; wear what makes YOU feel confident. Do your hair, makeup, and whatever else for yourself. No one else.

Step 4: Call up your friends and do something adventurous.

Call up your other single friends and plan something awesome for the day. Go shopping, go to dinner, go on a mini road trip, go egg your ex's house... do something crazy! No one should spend the day alone.

Step 5: DO NOT contact any past flings/hook ups/exes.

Under no circumstance should you be sending that "hey what are you up to today?" text. I don't care if all your friends are busy, do not revert back to your past simply because you're lonely.

Step 6: If your friends are all busy do something you love.

Read a book, spend time writing, paint a picture, try something new. This is your day. Rekindle your love with one of your favorite hobbies or fall in love with something you've never had the chance to try before.

Step 7: Send love someone else's way.

It might be as simple as smiling and saying hello to a stranger, calling up a family member you haven't talked to in awhile, hugging a good friend, or paying for someone's Starbucks. You never know what little acts of kindness can make a difference. Be the good in someone's day.

Step 8: Cook a bomb dinner.

Again, whether it's for your or a group of friends take the time to cook your favorite meal. You could even make it fun and let everyone bring a dish of their own — who doesn't love an overabundant amount of food?!

Step 9: Go out and dance your butt off.

Go out for a few drinks with your friends and dance the night away. Sing at the top of your lungs because who do you have no impress? Answer: No one but yourself.

Step 10: Do it all again soon.

Just like Valentine's day shouldn't be the only day couples treat each other to something special, it shouldn't be the only day you treat yourself! Use this as a day to turn over a new leaf and fall in love with yourself. Make it a point to take time out of each month to do what you love and enjoy the little things.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

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.
