Valentines Day Is Better When You Are Single

Okay, okay. I know what you're thinking. How in the world could Valentine's day be better if you're single?? Well, trust me. It is.

I'll give you the 5 TOP reasons why being a single pringle on the 14th of February is actually a blessing in disguise.

1. You don't have to adhere to society's standards. If you have a significant other, it's expected that you do something special which is definitely anxiety wrapped in a package because oh yeah, it has to be perfect.

2. You get to know your friends better—the ones whining on facebook about their situation of singleness need to be unfollowed immediately.

3. You know that just because you're single, it doesn't mean that you don't get to treat yo' self. Try that molten chocolate Starbs frappucino because you deserve it (I had the latte, btw, and it was amazing).

4. MASS AMOUNTS OF CHOCOLATE will be ON SALE the next day. If the word "chocolate" and "sale" are in the same sentence, I am there, can I get an uh-huh?

5. All in all, the most important reason why it's okay to be single is this:

You know who you are, and you know your worth. Don't fall for some smooth talker just because you want to have a #mcm on Instagram. Keep growing and learning and loving who you are. If someday, you meet Joe Cool and fall in love, well, that fella' better realize the jewel that you are. So go forth and carry on. You are enough.

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.

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.
