Valentine's Day. The day that everyone dreads. Why do we dread it so? It's just another day. And, you know what? Valentine's Day is a lot better when you spend it single. Here are a few reasons why.

1. There's no pressure to make another person happy.

You can do no wrong when you're the only person you're celebrating.

2. The post-Valentine's Day candy sales.

Fifty percent off a box of chocolates? Don't mind if I do.

3. You don't have to spend money on gifts, a date, or flowers.

Use all that money to buy the discounted candy the next day, duh.

4. You don't have to get dressed up.

Sweatpants and a t-shirt beat nice clothes any day.

5. You get to spend the whole day with your favorite person in the world.

You!

6. You won't be one of those couples everyone rolls their eyes at.

I mean seriously? Do they not have anything better to do than be all over each other?

7. You can eat as much as you want and not feel embarrassed.

Feel like eating a full pint of ice cream by yourself? Go for it.

8. You can go out with your friends.

Why go out with a guy when you can spend the night with your girls?

9. You don't have to shave.

Any reason not to shave is a good thing.

10. You don't have to worry about getting stood up.

11. You can flirt with whomever you want and it doesn't matter.

Embrace your single status and embrace it hard.

The world is your oyster. So, on February 14th, don't let anyone make you feel bad about not having a significant other. The one for you is out there somewhere and eventually, you will be forced to buy gifts and candy that are not on sale.
