TBH, Valentine's Day (and relationships in general) can be very stressful. Keep 2018 golden and spend this Valentine's Day pampering the only boo you need: YOU.

1. Indulge in an extravagant bath bomb or bubble bath.

Not having a bathtub in my dorm has been one of the worst things to ever happen to me because I'm so used to taking baths complete with Lush bath bombs at the end of a long day. The more wrinkled your fingers are, the more relaxed you will be.

2. Get a massage.

Good for circulation, good for breaking down a lactic acid buildup in your muscles, and good for getting rid of that pain in your neck you get from staring at the computer for too long. If you don't want to pay for a massage, cats and small dogs walking on your back can do the trick.

3. Forget your diet, don't count your macros, and get some of your favorite treats.

You are a strong, independent person who does not need another person to buy you cupcakes!

4. Invest in your appearance: hair, nails, and shopping are all allowed.

I really only get my nails done when my mom is around because I'm a #brokecollegestudent, but this Valentine's Day drop some cash on doing whatever it is that makes you look and feel put together and polished.

5. Stay in and cuddle with your pets because let's be real, they're the best at cuddling.

Your MCM would never. If you're lucky enough to still have your pet living with you, take full advantage of them being your boo 24/7 and have a night in with the one who loves you the most.

Whether or not you have someone who is trying to make dinner reservations for you this V-Day, make sure you take some time to better yourself and show yourself some self-love!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
