8 Reminders That Valentine's Day Does Not Have To SUCK If You Are Still Single
Maggie Ball

It's almost Valentine's Day- either the best, or worst holiday of the year, totally depending on your relationship status. Valentine's Day.

A day that's origin came from St. Valentine of Terani, but is now a day that can be filled with love from your significant other, or a day that can be filled with ice cream and Netflix alone in your bed. But hey, February 14th doesn't have to be all bad if you are single.

In fact, there are ~a few~ reasons the day of love is 100x better when you are single (and ready to mingle.)

1. Discount chocolate

And who doesn't love chocolate? No one. The answer is no one.

2. An excuse to treat yourself

Whether it's a new Pandora ring, a new pair of Nike's, a puppy, or just more candy, Valentine's day is the perfect reason to buy yourself something special. It doesn't even have to be expensive.

3. You don’t have to stress about nonsense.

There’s always the fear that your SO won’t like your gift. Then there’s always that fear that the date isn’t planned well enough. And the fear that everything can just suddenly turn to sh*t.


4. Rom-com's on TV

Valentine's day ALWAYS calls for your favorite movies to play all day long. Netflix is another good option too.


5. Staying in bed all day

Or you can just hide out and forget this day exists. No one will ever have to know.

6. There's no one to impress

Save that new dress for a girls night out instead. Today is the day to stay in your pj’s.


7. Going out to find yourself a new man

The bars will be FILLED with single people tonight. Maybe Valentine's day won't be so lonely after all.


8. Hanging with your girls instead

This is definitely the best way to spend your Valentine's day. Cheap wine, your besties, and/or the new 50 Shades Freed movie sounds like the best idea yet. Oh and pizza. And ice cream. Did I already mention wine?

I’m praying you’re all fully convinced that this special day can be special regardless of your relationship status, even if it is your first real Valentine’s alone. Shout out to all my fellow single ladies, let this Valentine's day be the best one yet!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
