The Young And The Single This Valentine's Day

Don't let the fear of being single forever make you hate this holiday.

The Young And The Single This Valentine's Day

As Valentine's Day quickly approaches, couples everywhere will express their love for each other with balloons, candy and stuffed animals with red hearts all over them. While couples use this time to appreciate their significant other, those who are single complain about how they will never find "their person" or how dumb a holiday like valentines days is and that it is only a "Hallmark Holiday."

I'm here to tell all you single people to stop moping around and instead celebrate! Coming from a single person herself, there is nothing wrong with being single. Instead of all us moping around on this holiday, we should be celebrating!

Be happy about who you are. Yes, maybe that special person hasn't come into your life yet, but celebrate that in the future they will be in your life. Not everyone is lucky enough to find "the one" when they are young, and sometimes it takes time and many heartbreaks to find the right person. I can promise you that when that time comes, all the wait and heartbreak will be more than worth it.

Use it also as a time to celebrate the happy couples in your life. Valentine's Day doesn't just have to be about you and someone you like, it can also celebrate those in your life who do have that special someone. Go out and do something special for them and show how much their relationship means to you.

Go out and treat yourself this holiday with all the chocolate and romantic comedies you could ever imagine. Just because you are single doesn't mean you can't celebrate this great holiday.

Valentine's Day is about love: love for your family, friends and everyone in-between. So celebrate all that love in your life. Don't let the fear of being single forever make you hate this holiday.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
