How to Snag Your Dream Valentine, As Told By "Miranda Sings"
Gabriel Gastelum

With the holiday season behind us and a new year in full swing, you may be left to wonder "what's next"? Your stomach may be stuffed with eggnog and your heart may be leaping with Christmas joy now, but come say, February 14th, that holiday bliss will surely disappear.

In the coming weeks, as you wander the glorious aisles of Walmart and gaze at shelf-upon-shelf of Valentine's Day sweets and treats, you'll wish for a Valentine to buy you said sweets and treats this year (instead of snagging your usual day-after 50 percent off deals).

In order to help you snag a piece of eye-candy for Valentine's Day this year, I detailed numerous ways to obtain love, with the aide of the all-wise, Miranda Sings:

Keep Your Options Open

As they say, desperate times call for desperate measures. Unless you want to be sitting at home alone this Valentine's Day, look at everyone as a possible candidate. The slightly smelly guy at the gym? The crazy girl who has been pining for you since middle school? Why not!

Directly Express Your Love for Him/Her

The Direct Approach: Once you have pin-pointed the perfect candidate, don't let him/her out of your sight. Call, text, or show up at their doorstep 24/7, in order to make him/her fall madly in love with you.

Play Hard to Get

The Flirt: If the direct approach doesn't work, this will surely will (at least it does in the movies, right?)! Without your constant outpour of love, your Valentine will feel so heartbroken that he/she be knocking down your door come February.

Seduce him/her with your impeccable talent

Wow 'em: Don't be afraid to show off your singing, dancing, or instrument-playing ability. Nothing dazzles more than a heartfelt love song!

Make him/her feel sorry for you

Pity love: Sometimes the way to your Valentine's heart is through a guilt-trip. Preparing a list of reasons why your future Valentine should go on a date with you and presenting it to him/her is a guarantee!

Send him/her sweet messages or gifts

Buy his/her love: Leading up to the 14th, send your special someone cute notes and gifts to let him/her know that you care. Money may not buy happiness, but it can buy temporary love!

If all else fails...

Miss Independent: Don't forget that YOU are the best date anyone could have, even to yourself. If all else fails, buy that marked-down, heart-shaped chocolate and binge watch Nicolas Sparks movies all night long.

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.
