It's that time of year where guys are scrambling wondering what would be a good gift for their girlfriend, otherwise known as Valentine's Day.

The day of love.

Many girls in college aren't very specific but they also aren't specific on what NOT to get them. I asked 10 girls what they definitely did not want for Valentine's. Here are some suggestions to stay away from if you want your girl to like her gift for Valentine's.

1. Balloons

“I’ve been given one of these Valentine’s Day balloons and I hated it. It was just so annoying to carry around. I liked the guy, but I let the balloon fly away as soon as I got home. Balloons are pointless unless they are meant for a party. Get me chocolate instead”

2. Singing Candy Gram

“Any kind of singing anything. The thought behind it is cute, but it’s loud and embarrassing to get in public and a giant no for me”

3. Giant teddy bears


The gesture is nice, but if the bear reaches larger than 2 feet, you might want to ask where she would actually put it.

4. Expensive jewelry


Maybe when I’m 30 and a hard-working woman, I would love to show off the occasional bling, but we college girls prefer the simplicity of gifts.

5. Inuyasha Season 7 Box Set DVDs

Just don’t.

6. Plan B


I mean, come on.

7. Anything you got your ex-girlfriend


We girls don’t like to be treated like every other girl you’ve been with.

8. Math Puzzle Books


Puzzle books are fun, but when it comes to math, it’s just work and an overall headache.

9. Divorce Papers


Nothing like a divorce to spice things up for Valentine's

10. Toothpaste


"Yes I've been meaning to go to the dentist soon, thank you for reminding me."

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.

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.
