February is upon us and we all know what that means: candy, chocolates, pink hearts and bunches of red roses with happy, perfect couples everywhere.

Now, I have nothing against having a day to celebrate love (call me a romantic), but I have to say, being single can be especially hard on Valentine's Day. I personally have spent my fair share of only getting cards from my family (thanks mom and dad). But Valentine's doesn't have to be an unhappy holiday for single people anymore!

The great thing about a holiday dedicated to love means that any type of love can be celebrated. That includes the love of friends and family. So, after asking around, me and my single ladies came up with some super fun ways to celebrate Valentine's day without the "lovey dovey couple stuff involved."


"My friends and I have always had a waffle bar, laid roses around the room, and watched horror movies with sparkling grape juice for Galentines, and then buy cheap chocolate on February 15."


"One year my friends and I made homemade pizzas and had a High School Musical marathon... Fave Valentine's Ever!!!"


"Me and my friends would all find recipes from Pinterest and make a bunch of yummy desserts together before we have a Disney movie marathon in our pajamas! Most comfortable, hassle-free Valentine's I've ever had!"


"The best way to spend Valentine's day is to go to a Humane Society and spread some love to the puppies and kittens. That will give you the most fun and cutest Galentine's plan evah!"


"All my single friends and I would dedicate the holiday to ourselves and have a relaxing Spa/Treat Yo' Self Day. It is always very much needed and a great way to catch up and spend time with the greatest people you know."


I hope that these Galentine's Day memories will help you come up with some great ideas on your own that you and your group of gals can do! And remember: you don't have to be in a relationship to enjoy the cheap chocolate that Valentine's Day provides!

XOXO

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.
