It is almost Valentine's Day, the day of love. Some people love the day, some people hate it. Some people are in relationships, some people are single. Whether you are in a relationship or on your own this Valentine's Day, don't forget to show yourself some love. It is great to show yourself some love and appreciation once and awhile, and what better time to do so than on Valentine's Day?

Below are 10 things you can (and should) do for yourself this week.


1. Buy yourself chocolate covered strawberries

Really, get yourself whatever your favorite special treat is. Mine just happens to be dark chocolate covered strawberries (hint hint)

2. Take some time for yourself, just to relax and be peaceful.

Whatever you like to do on your own, whatever makes you feel calm, take time to do it. You deserve it.

3 Watch your favorite movie

That movie that you have been wanting to watch, that maybe no one else wants to watch? Watch it.

5. Enjoy a nice meal

Stop and pick up YOUR favorite meal. Everyone has one.

6. Take a bath

Nothing says rest, relaxation, and self-love like a long bath with music, candles, tea, and maybe even some chocolate.

7. Treat yourself to some ice cream

There is literally never a wrong time to eat ice cream.

8. Take a day trip

Go out somewhere new, somewhere exciting, somewhere different. You don't have to go far. You don't have to spend a lot of money. Just grab some friends or a significant other, and do something out of the ordinary.

9. Show love to someone else

Whether you do something nice for someone, give someone a hug, or smile at a stranger, just make sure to show some love to someone else. Nothing does the heart well like loving another.


I hope this Valentine's Day is your most love filled day yet, and that you show yourself the love you always should.

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

1. "If I'm wearing black tomorrow, it's because I'm mourning my grade."

2. "Do you want to try ordering Chinese takeout to take back to the stacks?"

3. "This final paper has me questioning if this professor just sucks or is Satan himself."

4. "Is that person over there OK? They've been sleeping for a while."

5. "Why are you online shopping?"

"I want to motivate myself to study."

"Since when do you have money to buy something anyway?"

6. "I wonder how much I could make as a stripper."

7. "There are no stress relief dogs, and I feel conned. My stress today is worse than yesterday."

8. "Rate My Professor screwed me over."

9. "I wore these clothes yesterday, and maybe even the day before, but it's fine."

10. "I wonder if I could sneak a beer in here."

11. "I just really want chocolate chip cookies."

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.
