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!

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.
