Valentine's Day Survival Guide: Single Girl Edition

Valentine's Day Survival Guide: Single Girl Edition

It's that time of year again... Valentine's Day. As someone who has spent several Valentine's Days without a man (single girls, I'm talking to you), it doesn't have to be a sad, depressing day of pizza and watching Lifetime movies in the dark! Don't get me wrong, I love me some Lifetime movie marathons, but you shouldn't have to feel like there's something wrong with you if you aren't in a relationship on Valentine's Day.

Although I am lucky enough to have my wonderful boyfriend, I have plenty of experience on living the single-girl lifestyle. Whether you have a hot date with a box of Franzia or with your man, you can still have a great time, and I am here to show you how.



Get out of the house.

There's nothing worse than sitting at home on Instagram, flipping through all the mushy pic stitches of girls bragging about the life-size teddy bear her boyfriend surprised her with. You know the phrase "pics or it didn't happen"? We believe you. We assume your boyfriend got you something nice today. No need to rub in it.


Pamper yourself.

As Drake says, go ahead and get your "hair done, nails done, everything did." Let's be honest, getting a fresh cut and color makes you feel like a million bucks. You get that gel manicure that's a little more expensive, or even some long acrylics if you're feeling feisty!


You'll be rolling in money.

Who wants to cuddle with a person when you can snuggle up to a full wallet? You won't have to spend a nickel on presents or dinner. All of your hard-earned moolah will go straight to whatever YOU want! Want another round of drinks at the bar? Why, yes, sir, I do.


Three words: Girl's. Night. Out.

Lay out that outfit that you've been dying to wear, but never felt like you had the right occasion for it. Well, tonight is the night that you will rock the hell out of it. Rolling in to a party with your squad, you are all sure to turn some heads. Confidence is sexy, ladies.


But be sure you do not resort to Tinder.

Let's be honest, we've all been there. Somehow hearing a million cheesy pick up lines mixed in with some kind of sexual joke doesn't really make you feel much better. Your future husband is, nine times out of 10, not gonna be found on Tinder. Although he does have a really cute dog in his profile picture, he is mostly on there for one reason and one reason only. You are better than that.

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.
