Valentines Day. The infamous hallmark holiday that you only really like when you have someone to spend it with and sometimes not even then. There’s this stigma that says you have to go all out on Valentine's Day and spend loads of money.

Well, I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to do that with every girl. You see, I’m what they call a “low maintenance” girl and I agree with that. That also means I’m very easy to please. I don’t need a dozen roses or diamonds, I just want something that shows me you care.

So, here are some gifts you can give a low maintenance girl like me:

1. Dinner

I don’t mean at some fancy restaurant, either. I mean a home-cooked meal. You don’t have to spend a ton of money when I much rather sit home and have a nice meal with you.

2. Letter/Poem

Okay, so I know this is more of a girl thing, but guys, girls will melt at your feet if you do this. I know it's sappy and not manly but it's romantic and a nice way to show your love.

3. Card

Something simple with a personal message and maybe a single rose to go with it.

4. A foot rub/back rub

Foot rub

Now, personally I haven’t gotten one of these, but my mom swears by them and it’s a nice gesture.

5. A movie night

I love movie nights. My boyfriend and I have them all the time. It’s a romantic gesture and you get cuddles as a plus.

6. A walk in the park/the beach

Especially at sunset and if the weather is right, this is a nice thought.

7. Bubble bath

Bubble Bath

A nice hot romantic bath to make all the stresses go away.

8. Do something nice

Clean the house, take out the trash, walk the dog. Do something you normally wouldn’t to surprise her.

9. Dance night

If you have a girl that likes to dance, make a playlist, move the table, and make a dance floor.

10. Picnic

Picnic

Maybe before that walk in the park or walk on the beach you can plan a picnic there first and pack all her favorites.

These are easy and cheap gifts that any low maintenance girl like myself would love. However, that being said, if you find yourself alone, ladies, this Valentine’s day, don’t fret. You don’t need a man to celebrate. Make yourself a bubble bath, drink some wine, or go to the spa. You can still be happy loving yourself on the day meant for love.

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.
