8 Valentine's Day Gifts To Make The Holiday Of Love Extra Special For Your Special Someone

Don't be afraid to be punny.

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, we start scrambling to find the perfect gift for that special someone. To me, Valentine's Day is more about the corny gifts that make you and your partner say "Awww" while the rest of the world thinks it's super cheesy. I've had my fair share of punny Valentine's Days.

For me and my boyfriend's first Valentine's Day together, everything was a pun. We saw "Star Wars" around that time of year so I bought him a Chewbecca and Obi Wan Kenobi Pop! Vinyl with the caption "Chew the Obi Wan for me" and I did throw in a little "Yoda best!"

Not to mention, I also threw in some gummy worms with a card that said: "I'm hooked" and Reese's Pieces with a card that read: "I love you to pieces." It's all about the puns!

1. Mixtape

Oh, how 1980s! Yes, it may be completely old fashioned, but what better way to say "I love you" than putting together every song that ever reminded you of that special someone?

2. Name a star after them

Some may find this idea rather silly, but Finn did it for Rachel in Glee (although, he named it after himself) and it was a great episode!

3. Scrapbook

If you saved some old movie stubs, tickets to that Broadway play you saw, or those polaroid pics you took at the beach one summer, throw them into a scrapbook!

4. Write a book

For my one year anniversary with my boyfriend, I made a book for him through LoveBook and it came out great! I made it the story of us, from when we first met to our one year anniversary. I was extremely happy with the way it came out!

5. Put your pictures to songs

For this, I used Windows Media Player. I picked out pictures and videos, put them to songs, and then burned it onto a DVD. It's like a mixtape and photobook combined. It's definitely fun to be on the receiving end because you never know which embarrassing picture is coming up next.

6. A bunch of snacks

Who doesn't love snacks? Especially in college, we need snacks! Whether you are sending it in a care package, or hand delivering it to them, everyone appreciates a good snack.

7. Dinner

Getting all dressed up and going on a date pretty much makes the perfect evening. We're in college, how often do we get to eat non-campus food? If you're long distance, FaceTime your dinner. Unfortunately, that will mean sticking to campus food.

8. Love letter

Super corny, but this is especially cute for the long-distance relationships. Nothing more romantic and old-fashioned than handwriting a letter and sticking it in the mail.

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.
