Does Valentine's Day ever make you want to crawl into a hole and just stay there for the rest of your life? Like who even came up with it? We should share the love with everyone, every day of the year. If you're like me you understand how cruddy Valentine's Day can feel when you're single.
I've slowly realized though that it's not a big deal and there are plenty of ways to enjoy the day without feeling like you are going to be forever alone. Here are my four ways to make the most of your Valentines day while single.
1. Pamper Yourself
While everyone else is out spending time with their significant others, take some time to spend with yourself. Take a bubble bath or long hot shower. Paint your nails and apply a face mask. Just enjoy some time alone. When you're in college alone time is few and far between.
2. Throw a Galentine's Day Party
If you're feeling lonely gather your closest girlfriends and have a party. Watch a movie, paint your nails or do whatever you heart desires. Regardless of what you do, it is sure to be a great time when you are with your closest friends.
3. Binge Watch "Friends"
I know this is very specific, but this show is just a classic. Instead of focusing solely on the character's love lives it focuses on the friendships between them.
Not only is it funny, but it makes you realize how important and great your own friendships are. Valentine's Day isn't all about having a significant other, but loving everyone in your life.
4. Visit Your Family
Along with friends, your family should also be an important part of your life. As a young child, my family and I always focused on one another when it came to Valentine's Day. If you're feeling lonely give your family a call or go out with them on Valentine's day. Because regardless they will always love you.
So there you have it! My top four ways to spend Valentine's Day if you're single. Even if you are single on Valentine's day take the time to realize who you are surrounded by and how much they love you.
