15 Things Single People Do On Valentine's Day
Thomas Leuthard

You may think that being single on Valentine's Day sucks. I understand, I've been there too. Is there any way to make your day not lonely? There sure is! Here are 15 ways that single people can have a great Valentine's Day.

1. Take advantage of the cheap chocolate.

Chocolate has always been one of my favorite part of Valentine's Day. Feb. 15 always has super cheap chocolate. Go buy out the store.

2. Netflix binge-watching

Sometimes, the best way to have a great day is to sit in bed and watch Netflix. All. Day. Long. Because, why not?

3. Order a heart-shaped pizza

Seriously. You can order a heart-shaped pizza from Pizza Hut.

4. Stuffed animals are always cool

There's no better way to make yourself happy than to get yourself a nice, big teddy bear.

5. Watch whatever you want!

You don't have to make a deal with your significant other on what to watch. Wanna watch a chick flick? Do it. Action movie? DO IT. Watch what you want!

6. Anti-Valentine's Day party?

Is that a thing? Do it! Host a party for your friends. Don't include heart cookies, love songs, or roses.

7. Road Trip!

Go to the beach. Mountains. Maybe even just a night on the town.

8. Dress up.

Look SUPER cute. Be proud of the fact that you're single! Show that you don't have to have a boyfriend to make you happy.

9. Buy yourself your own gift.

Is there this nice bracelet, necklace, pair of earrings or watch that you have been wanting? Don't wait for a guy to buy it for you. Splurge and treat yourself.

10. Share the love.

Just because you're single doesn't mean that you can't send other people cards. Buy a pack of the super cheap cards that you used back in elementary school. Attach a piece of candy and send them to your friends. It'll make their day and yours.

11. Go for a run.

If you're still feeling lonely, do something to get your mind off of it. Go for a run, it'll help you not think about the single life.

12. Secret Santa.

Except not Santa. Secret Cupid! Get together a group of your friends and treat each other with small surprises throughout the week without them knowing. On Valentines Day, have a reveal party.

13. Turn to books

Seriously. Go bury your nose in your favorite novel or series. Like Harry Potter? Reread all of them throughout the week. Romance novels? Read!

14. Go out with friends

You don't NEED a guy to take you out to eat. Go out to Olive Garden with your girl friends! Go see a romantic movie with your girls!

15. Love yourself

Make a list about why you love being single! Pamper yourself. Do different things to remind yourself that you're a beautiful person.

It's possible to have a fantastic Valentine's Day without being in a relationship. Hanging out with your friends and family is the best way to do that. Before you get sad that you don't have a boyfriend to spoil you on Feb. 14, remember that you can spend time loving your best friends. But more than anything, you need to make sure you love yourself.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
