What It Means To Be Single On Valentine's
Brian Wu

Well friends, it's that time of year again. Valentine's Day is upon us and that means all things red, white and pink. The time for either great, really thought out plans, or last ditch efforts and empty hope of not getting in trouble. Valentine's Day is great because its a special day for your significant other to go above and beyond then usual. To all the single people though, Valentine's Day is like any other day.

Valentine's can have a different significance to different single people. I mean there are singles out there who might get some use out of it, like finally asking out that special person you've been crushing on, simply using Valentine's as an excuse for actually doing it after all this time. Others might get lucky that night since we now have Tinder (that actually works, I've seen it first hand. My friend left our New Years' Party last year to get some). And then to many single people, Valentine's passes them by like any other typical day. You'll wake up, day of, and start your morning like you usually do. Maybe have some toast or oatmeal, a cup of coffee, and get ready for the day. Go to school or work and spend the day like you usually do. Atleast for college students we have parties, so there's a chance to meet someone that night. You never know. Valentine's for single people can give people the extra boost of confidence that they need to make the right moves, just because it's a holiday. This holiday can affect singles differently. Some people will use it as some excuse for their new found courage as they finally ask out their crush. Some people will turn up and maybe wake up lying next to someone whose name they don't remember. No comment. It happens every now and then. Or you might wake up and spend the entire day by yourself, which is lonely but I'm sure you'll be able get through it. Anything can happen. This is the single life.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
