Valentine's Day Is A Drag

If you've ever been single on Valentine's Day, you're well aware that this Hallmark holiday can be a bit of a bother, especially if you don't have a boo thang. From the awkward spike in PDA to the pressure to get yourself cuffed, February 14th can prove particularly stressful for singles. Valentine's Day can be a drag, but whether you're taken or you're flying solo, you're sure to enjoy these Valentine's Day reaction gifs, taken (of course) from Rupaul's Drag Race.

1. When you make plans to hang out with your single friends and do whatever you want on Valentine's Day


2. ...But your taken friends are off being way too cute together

3. ...And your formerly single pal cancels on Galentine's Day because she got a new man.

4. When your friend's Valentine's outfit is semi-busted

5. ...But she tries to mock you for your frock

6. When you spot your crush sitting alone on the 14th

7. ...And their significant other sits down beside them

8. When your friend shows you the corny, cringe-worthy card they received

9. ...And you realize you don't have to spend money getting anyone else a gift

10. When someone asks why you're still single

11. ...And your clapback is a little too savage

12. Wherever you go, there seems to be an obscene amount of couples acting all lovey-dovey.

13. When you start to think about the fact that Valentine's Day is just a front for companies to capitalize by exploiting our insecurities

14. ...But you're still ready to jump on those low candy prices on February 15th

In conclusion...

Yes. Valentine's Day can be a drag, but it doesn't have to be. With the right people (or the right show to binge-watch), you can forget all about the pressure and the clichés and make your Valentine's Day fabulous, fierce, and absolutely sickening.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
