Oh, the joyous holiday has returned. Roses, balloons, and the whole hoopla of the day has all the single people wanting to hide in a cave for 24 hours. It doesn't have to be such a bad thing though, in fact Valentine's day can be a pretty awesome time to just be happy with yourself. To kick back and enjoy all the chocolate you want.

Here are some of the advantages to being single on this holiday:

Heart Shaped Pizza

Instead of finer dining, you can dine on one of the finer things in life… in your sweatpants….in heart shaped form… sounds like a no brainer to me.

No Gifts

Not only do you not have to spend any money (bless), but you also don’t have to act surprised at any of the gifts you get. I’m not alone when I say that valentine’s day gifts are so cliché it hurts. Stuffed animals, flowers, chocolate, and jewelry for the more serious relationships. All good things, but not a shocker when you get you get any of the above.

Half priced chocolate…EVERYWHERE

The best day of the year for all my chocolate lovers is February 15th. All those red and pink aisles you had to pass by for 2 months is finally up for grabs.

Enjoying all the E-Card Humor Cards

These come around every year, and get better with time. If you haven't spent hours laughing at these hilarious cards then you totally should.

Chick-flick galore

All the best of the hallmark movies are on repeat, what a time to be alive!! Grab your tissues, Ben and Jerry’s, and wrap up in a fuzzy blanket to binge watch as many sappy romances as your heart desires.

Single friends Unite

All your friends who don’t have that significant other are probably feeling the same as you about this holiday, so why not gang up and have a fun night together? V-day is about love, doesn’t mean it must be romantic. Spend time with your besties and show them how you appreciate their friendship.

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.

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.
