5 Reasons Why You Should Spend Valentine's Day At White Castle
TwinCities

Do you know what has the stigma of having to be expensive? Valentine's Day. You know what's cheap and willing to take that stigma away? White Castle. So why not spend Valentine's at the fast food chain? If nothing else, you'll get a good story out of it. I researched this and a handful of other Valentine's Day ideas that you can totally do on a budget (and most of them you can do by yourself or with your friends if you're flying solo). Just keep scrolling!

1. Valentine's Day at White Castle

According to Delish, you can, in fact, spend V-day at the fast food palace. The chain restaurant is now taking reservations (yes, reservations) for the 14th, and is decorating with festive red and pink balloons and tablecloths. It's basically like dining at the Ritz. Here's a list of other cheap restaurants that want to celebrate Valentine's Day with you and your significant other.

2. Stay in and watch a movie

This one easy; if you're more low key and don't mind chilling on the holiday, why not just stay in? Netflix has a bunch of movies in their romance category, ranging from 'She's Out of My League' to 'Blue Valentine.'

3. Follow a 'Tasty' recipe

'Tasty' has a bunch of themed recipes, including ones for Valentine's Day. While sometimes their recipes can be quite out there and more fun to watch than actually do, it could still be fun to give it a go. Or, ya know, do what I do and just watch a bunch of videos back to back while eating a bag of Doritos. Here's a recipe for Valentine's Day Chocolate Boxes that looks do-able in theory, but would probably end up a chocolatey mess (although there are worse things).

4. Valentine's Bar Crawl

Okay, so this is more so if you're single and looking to mingle on Valentine's Day, but it could still be fun to go out. Some bar crawls only cost $10-20 to enter, and usually come with a free shot at every bar. If you do it for anything, do it for the free shot. Eventbrite has a bunch of bar crawls available in the NYC area (AKA the best area), and with a quick google search, you can find some near you, too.

5. Try a stay cation

So you can't afford to take a quick trip to the Island of Maui for Valentine's Day? Not a problem when you can just travel one town over, or explore the local attractions you never got around to seeing. Sometimes exploring your own turf can be more fun than traveling five hours out of your way to see that one landmark your mom's aunt told you-you have to see (plus, you don't have to deal with airport security!).

What are your Valentine's Day plans?

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
