So I realize I have been writing a lot about my heart and my boring melodramatic emotions, so today I will write about one of my favorite bands.

So yes. The mixtape is not just for rappers anymore. You have one clean slate to make a statement so make it good. If your effort is sincere it will show. And please.. If you CAN’T sing well enough to serenade your girl, fellas, keep quiet and leave it to the professionals. Become a mixtape artist!

Sooooo, it’s been a week since Valentine’s Day now and we all know that I, Holly Grabarek, did not have a Valentine. In fact, I got broken up with right before Valentine’s, and well, my lame ex-boyfriend had to send me a message to tell me he is now, let’s just say, hanging out with someone who he knew would annoy me.

But that’s life right? If your ex-boyfriend does nice things, then he probably would not be. And no, we can’t be “friends.”

Well, hello there! We’ve all made it together to this second week of February. Guys who are slacking in the love department this is YOUR time to get your act together and show your hearts true colors so get to work! I had once set up a Valentine’s Day DREAM DATE where every move was the greatest of romantic nuances intended and every gift was a swift messenger of my deep-seeded passions. I wanted it to be perfect – just the girl and me together on Valentine’s Day.

Back then, all I need to do is figure out how to ask my father, without totally embarrassing myself to pretty please with sugar on top: “I kind of LIKE this girl I met and I need you to drive me to the ice skating rink for my first date ever because I’m only 14?” I even slowed my speech for dramatic effect and allowed time for it to sink in properly. *cues dead air*
