We&#8217;re super excited for this <em>Transformers</em> installment because it&#8217;s gonna have <strong>Dinobots</strong>!</p><p>Some quick background: In the <em>Transformers</em> universe, Dinobots are Autobots in, well, dinosaur form. <strong>Grimlock</strong>, the leader and T-Rex Dinobot, is pretty rad&#8211;he&#8217;s a good guy in the <em>Transformers</em> universe, but he doesn&#8217;t always agree with <strong>Optimus Prime</strong>. The new Dinobots are going to look a bit different from the originals that debuted back in the 1980s, but they&#8217;re still dinosaurs. And robots. At the same time. And in the case of Grimlock, he&#8217;ll even have the same voice!</p><p>In honor of the much-anticipated <a

class="wp-caption-text">He wants to be your valentine. | Source: flickr</p></div><strong>Hey gorgeous!</strong> In case you haven&#8217;t noticed, Valentine’s Day is upon us. Red cut-out hearts are everywhere, there’s a <strong>soundtrack of love</strong> songs playing and Cupid is blasting his jam. <strong>Even Mr. T-Rex</strong> is in on the action.</p><p>Chances are, you&#8217;re either a hopeful romantic <strong>in love</strong> with all things V-Day or you curse Saint Valentine and his stupid, bloody holiday. Or maybe you just don&#8217;t care about the <strong>whole sugary</strong> thing.</p><p>To <strong>our girls</strong> in the last two camps, I&#8217;ve got two words for you: <strong>Calm. Down.</strong> It&#8217;s just a silly holiday, not World War III! And to Ms. Overly Romantic, I <strong>also have</strong> two words: Calm. Down. This is just <strong>one day</strong> out of the whole wonder-filled year, okay?</p><p><strong>Here’s how to manage February the 14th no matter which of these teams you’re on. Find your zone and rock your V-Day with this Valentine&#8217;s Day survival guide!</strong></p><p><div

Valentine’s Day is <em>everything </em> when you’re in love; or is it? Take a breath and <em>step away</em> from the teddy bears. Valentines are cool but it’s not a good idea to put so much pressure on your relationship so soon.</p><p>You may have the perfect V-Day in your head but however it unfolds, even if it&#8217;s not what you imagined, it’s all good. The most important thing is enjoying your time together.</p><p><strong>V-Day Zone: You’re Newly Single </strong></p><p>You’re single and not yet ready to mingle. And now, it’s Valentine’s Time. Why not flip V-Day on it’s head this year? Remember when we made hearts for our friends in first grade? Get construction paper (in any color but red) and make cool Valentines for your peeps.</p><p><div

/> </strong><br
/> It’s Valentine’s Day. Big whoop. You and your dude have been kicking it for a minute. Who needs all of that mushy gushy love stuff? He knows how you feel&#8230;</p><p>Yes, chica. It’s wonderful to be in a long term relationship but you know what will shorten it really quickly? Taking each other for granted. No one’s saying that you need to raid the local Hallmark store but do acknowledge the day.</p><p><strong>V-Day Zone: You Hate Valentine’s Day</strong></p><p>It’s not even a real holiday anyway. If someone hands you a red heart you’ll hurl. Listen up, V-Grinch, no one is asking you to make like a sheep and dance to the beat of a mandated love drum. But what did V-Day ever do to you?</p><p><strong>V-Day Zone: You’re in A Happy Relationship (But Your Girls Aren’t)</strong></p><p>Isn’t it annoying being madly in love and looking forward to Valentine’s Day while your friends, well, aren’t? Well you know what’s just as annoying? Having a friend who rubs her oh-so-happiness in your face. You’re happy so you just want everyone else to be happy. However, have a little compassion. Share your joy with your BFFs but maybe you don’t need to show them every “oh pooh bear” text, okay?</p><p>So, girls&#8211;here are your marching orders for V-Day: Have fun but don’t take it too seriously. And if no one else has told you today, you are so loved!</p><p><strong>What do you think about Valentine&#8217;s Day? Tell me in the <a
