Are You A Valentine's Day Scrooge?

Love, love, love! February is the month seemingly dedicated to it, right?

But do you think that February 14th, the oh so holy holiday dedicated to LoOoOoOOOoVvE is overrated and overpriced? If you do, than consider yourself a Valentine’s Day Scrooge.

If you want to consider yourself a Valentine’s Day Scrooge you probably relate to some of these lovely little issues:


Eating Out? Ha! Funny Joke.

Good luck trying to get your foot in the door! Valentine's Discounts, Valentine's Dates and Valentine's Themed Nights run rampant and every single restaurant is crawling full of people and completely full of tables for two. And forget about reservations (unless you're reading this article three or four months in the past, than by all means, give it your best shot).


Too Much PDA!

We get it guys, you LoOoOoOoOVe each other! While hugging, holding hands and a peck on the check are some normal example of Public Displays of Affection, some people go to the extreme on days such as Valentine's. REMINDER: Stop sucking each other's faces out and enjoy the world around you, alright?


Dating Someone New? Yikes...Awkward

This one's pretty self-explanatory. If you've only been dating someone for a few weeks, what exactly are you supposed to do? How do you decide your budget limit for Valentine's gifts? Do you even DO Valentine's gifts at this stage?


People Question Why You're Still Single

Again, pretty self-explanatory.


Trying to Give Up Sweets? Better Luck Next Time, Kid.

Valentine's Day is basically centered around chocolate; you kind of just have to go with it or deal with it and cry into your pillow later.


"I'M GOING TO DIE ALONE"

Yeah, apparently if you don't have some sort of partner or significant other on Valentine's Day you're a completely unlovable beast with no chance of love in the future (PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD, THIS IS SARCASM). Seriously though, while many people don't feel disparaged over not having someone, a lot of people find themselves wanting a romantic relationship and having that thrown in their face for an entire 24 hours doesn't really help them.

The Sympathy Card

"Oh wow! A card? For me! I hope it's from my secret admirer, maybe it's that cute guy from. . . Oh. " That feeling when you open your post and you've got a Valentine's card can be a great feeling, great until that moment you realize it's a sympathy card from your mom or your best friend (WHICH IS STILL AN AMAZING GIFT BUT STILL).

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
