10 Things To Love On Valentine's Day Besides A Significant Other
Blogspot

Valentine’s Day. The day of love. For many of us, it's the annual reminder that yes, you’re still single! But why is this true? Why can’t we focus on other things we love this Valentine’s Day? Here's a list of things you can love instead.

1. Coffee

    Where would I be without coffee? Probably asleep on the side of the road somewhere. When was the last time your boyfriend woke you up for class, or sat next to you, powering you through your late night studying? Hm, never? That’s what I thought.

    2. Dogs

    Even if you don’t have one, you can’t deny their beauty and angelic qualities. They’re always happy to see you, even if you forgot to text them back, hung out with other friends or watched the next episode on Netflix without them.

    3. Democracy

    With all this hype about the 2016 presidential election, let’s remember how lucky we are to have the privilege to vote for our next leader. Even though democracy and I have had our differences in election results, we always make up knowing there’s a brighter tomorrow. #change #verminsupreme2016

    4. Nintendo DS

    Over winter break, I was blessed enough to find my retro Nintendo DS from my hood rat days. Even more blessed, my Nintendogs were still alive. Crazy, right? So on Feb. 14, 2016, I’ll be on a very important date. With my virtual dogs. And I love it.

    5. Dominoes

    To all my college students out there, this one is for you. You know there is no bond more special than the one between you and your cheese pizza at 1 a.m. This is a love that can’t be found everywhere. Treasure it while you can people.

    6. Adele

    This lady has a way of making me passionately sing songs I know nothing about to boys I’ve never met. And I love that. Maybe you’ll be blasting “Someone Like You” on repeat for that boy who left you and never looked back. For me, I’ll be singing for the McDonald’s that told me their ice cream machine was down at 11:30. You broke my heart.

    7. Boston

    Maybe as a native, I’m bias, but we can’t all just forget our stupid love problems and realize how beautiful the City of Champions is? No matter how gross the Orange and Green Lines are, nothing gives me butterflies or makes my heart pitter-patter like the way it does when I pull up to North Station, Haymarket and Kenmore to explore the beautiful surroundings of the best place on Earth, especially Fenway Park.

    8. Tom Brady

    Few things on this planet easier to love than TB12. Just pour yourself a nice drink, make some nachos, sit back, and watch highlights from the G.O.A.T’s career, SO FAR. The sun never sets in Foxborough. Even though Tom and his team may have disappointed us slightly, we can never be mad at them because they still love you.

    9. The Parent Trap

    Who needs a boyfriend when you can have a long lost twin sister you met at a summer camp?! Additionally, why would want a date for Valentine’s Day when you could have Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson as your parents. People, true love doesn’t happen on Feb. 14, it happens on the Queen Elizabeth II boat. Relax, and set your standards higher.


    10. Yourself

    You don’t need no man (or woman!) to make you happy no matter what the day is! Go ahead, treat yourself to a pedicure and fancy coffee, get Cheesecake Factory by yourself and don’t feel bad. End the night in your fuzzy bathrobe with ice cream, watching “Friends” reruns. You should love your life every day, not just on Feb. 14 because you are beautiful.


    P.S McDonald’s, I did find someone else, his name is Sonic.

    To My Loving Boyfriend,

    • Thank you for all that you do for me
    • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
    • Thank you for always supporting me
    • I appreciate you more than words can express
    • You have helped me grow and become a better person
    • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
    • I promise to cherish every moment with you
    • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
    • I love you and everything you do

    To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

    Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
