T-8 days and counting until for what some call the best holiday of the year and others call the worst comes around. No, I'm not talking about St. Patrick's day, but none other than Valentine's Day.
Man, time flies.
Another year where you're still a sad, lonely, single person with no future and ultimate failure surrounding your every day lifestyle... FALSE.
Yes, I bet you thought this was going to be one of those articles bashing the day of love and gagging at every inch of sappiness that floats through the air. Unfortunately, you're wrong. This article is here to give you some great tips on how you can be your best single self and ultimately get through this upcoming February 14th without having a mental breakdown.
1. Treat yo self
It is a-ok to get yourself a little something special on Valentine's day! It's a day of love and you love yourself! You deserve it!
2. Hang out with other single friends
There is just no way in heaven on Earth you are the only single person in your friend group - and if you are - find some single friends for goodness sake!
3. Watch a romantic movie
It's Valentine's day! Throw on that rom-com you've been thinking about for the last few weeks, pop some popcorn, and relax.
4. Or don't watch a romantic movie
The previous piece of advice might not be the best for those undergoing a breakup or those who don't like romantic movies in general! There are too many amazing movies on Netflix to list, so just watch them all.
5. Do whatever you want
Who said singles have to stay in on Valentine's Day? Answer: NO ONE. Who said singles have to go out on Valentine's Day? Answer: NO ONE.
Do what you want boo boo.
6. Do a good deed
Babysit for a couple who's super stressed out and never gets to go out anymore.
7. Eat some candy!
Honestly, have you been to Target lately? Do yourself a favor and just swing by. You won't regret it.
8. Go out!
Go on! Get hammered! Okay maybe not the best decision, but I'm not here to judge you.
9. Don't wallow in self pity
Yes, I know it hurts to be single on Valentine's Day when you super duper don't want to be single, but instead of focusing on the bad, turn it around and remember that your prince charming or princess is out there for you.
10. Be happy for your couple friends
Pretty self explanatory: just because you're sad doesn't mean you have to make other people feel bad.
11. Think of all the money you're saving
Another self explanatory one ;)
12. Love yourself
Valentine's day- the day of love. Whether you believe it or not, you are surrounded by love. Take that love! Love yourself! Be happy with who you are! Love others and never stop spreading the love.
