Valentine's Day When You're Single Can Actually Be A Good Time, You Just Have To Do It Right

February 14th is one of the most disliked holidays when you are single. Who says that you have to spend it with someone?

Have a movie marathon. Whether you go out to the movie theater or stay home and chill, watching Netflix. Watch the latest flicks. A romantic comedy like "To All The Boys I Loved Before: P.S. I Still Love You" or "The Bachelor." A thriller or action film like "Interrogation." You name it, they have what you are looking for.

Binge watch a brand new or a repeated show that you love so much. Maybe it's "Grey's Anatomy" to find who else is falling in love with who. "Friends" to make you laugh.

Try something new. Whether it's cooking, baking, or both. Cook yourself a well-earned dinner or bake a cupcake. Create a new dish that you'll definitely devour later. Have fun and create new friends. Go to a carnival or arcade. Throw some balls into a hoop, use a water gun to aim at the hole, then win yourself a giant teddy bear.

Start reading or writing. Maybe as you grew up, reading wasn't your passion because it was boring or you just haven't tried it. Well, take Valentine's Day to start reading a book or even writing one. You never know what comes out when you're alone on Valentine's Day.

Make extra cash. We all love making money, right? So, why not babysit the kids of those couples that go out on their date? You'll be stuck with kids but you'll be getting paid. Now, that's a good way to spend Valentine's Day.

Clean and organize. It's Friday night. Start in your closet and take out clothes that you either don't wear anymore or don't fit. You can donate the clothes to a shelter. Make a good deed on Valentine's Day. Organize your room. Turn your room into a type of office, to make it more comfortable to study or do homework.

After all, if you don't want to spend Valentine's Day alone, then you can always have a night out with your girlfriends.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
