14 Reasons Why You Should Be Single On Valentine's Day

February 14, the day that every girl (and guy) who is not in a relationship dreads. Do not sit at home alone this Valentine's day and wallow in your loneliness. Instead, go out, have fun, and live your life! It is ten times better to be single because you have the freedom to do and wear what you want (aka sweatpants). So cheers to being single, and listen to the wise words of my Dad, "Boys are like boogers, flick 'em." Flick the boys (or girls) to the side and celebrate yourself this Valentine's Day.

1. You save money

You don't have to buy anyone a gift except yourself, how great is that?!

2. You can celebrate Galentine's Day instead

What is Galentine's day?

3. It is just a normal day

You can pretend like it doesn't even exist, that is what I do.

4. You can celebrate February 15, Valentine's candy on sale


5. You can Netflix without the Chill

We all know that you actually want to WATCH that chick flick, so now you can.

6. You don't get another stuffed animal

You know that it would end up in the bottom of your closet in about a week anyways.

7. You don't have to share your candy

We all know that you don't want to share. There are two types of people in the world: those who binge eat all their candy in one day, and those who savor it for the rest of the month. Which are you?

8. YOU $AVE MONEY

This one is on here twice because it is just that important.


9. You can eat as much as you want to without judgement

You can order dessert too!

10. You can eat cookie dough instead of making cookies

Go ahead, you know you want to.

11. Way less pressure

You don't have to stress out about what your date is thinking, all you have to worry about is what ice cream flavor you are going to eat next.

12. "Treat Yo Self"

It is all about you!


13. You can hangout with your other single friends

Trust me, you are not the only single one in the world. So, get together with your other single friends and bond over your singleness.

14. You can wear black if you want to

It matches everything, and accurately describes how we feel on Valentine's day.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
