The Week Before Valentine's Day
NPR

It’s official—the holiday dedicated to love is one week away. For some, that may be very exciting to think about, but for others, it just means another normal day. Here are all the things that happen to us single ladies in the week leading up to Valentine’s Day.

-Getting really excited when you see all of the Valentine’s Day themed isles in stores.


-Declaring that if someone were to buy you a giant teddy bear you would marry them.


-Planning out what you’re going to wear.


-Doing your nails.


-Decorating everything with hearts.


-Trying to make plans ahead of time.


-Remembering you don’t have a significant other to make plans with.


-Wondering if there is anyone who secretly has a crush on you.


-Wanting someone to confess their undying love for you.


-Stocking up on a ton of chocolate and ice cream reserved for the dreaded day itself.


-Watching sappy romance movies and listening to love songs to make yourself even more sad.


-Finally thinking, “I don’t need no man!”


-Watching proposal videos and crying.


-Wondering if you’ll be single on Valentine’s Day for the rest of your life.


-Realizing that the time will come when you spend it with someone special.


-Planning a fun outing with all your best friends instead!


So whether you’re cuffed or single and ready to mingle next week, remember to tell all of your friends and family members how much you love them! Even if you’re spending this Valentine’s Day alone, there will come a day when you won’t be, and it’ll be worth the wait! Good luck getting through the next week!

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.

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.
