With Valentine's Day just one week a way, many frazzled singles are probably worried about spending the day of love alone. However, it's not all bad! Hilarious duo Jimmy Fallon and Rebel Wilson nail all of the reasons why being single is awesome, in a music video no less! While the video takes an unexpected turn into some of the downs of being a singleton, the positive reasons alone should be enough to cheer you up. Why worry about all of the things you'll potentially miss out on during the upcoming holiday when you can focus on all the things you'll be gaining?
1. No uncomfortable lingerie.
OK, while sexy lingerie is fun, it also has some unpleasant side effects. One, it's expensive! Also, WTF is with all of the unnecessary strings? Where do they even all go?!
2. No sharing.
Not only do these heart-shaped boxes of chocolate cost a small fortune, but they hardly have anything in them! From the few to choose from, only half are edible because seriously, who likes fruit or coconut filled chocolate? Your single self won't have to worry about sharing all of the good ones because they'll be all yours!
3. Chick-flick marathon.
Let's be honest, even if you weren't single, you'd be watching "The Notebook" all night anyway. Only this time, you don't have to share the popcorn or wine, and you can cry without ruining your $60 mascara that you painstakingly applied for two hours.
4. Relaxation.
As romantic as bathing with your significant other sounds, realistically it's hard to fit two people in a normal bathtub. As a singleton, you'll have all of that room to yourself! The candles, rose petals, and wine will make for a luxurious evening for one. Add in a nice book to read and you have yourself the perfect self-date!
5. You're worth it!
You are just as worthy of an awesome night as any couple out there! While you should use every day to treat yourself, use this Valentine's Day to date yourself! You deserve it!
While you may miss out on some cuddling and perhaps a kiss or two, you'll gain so much more! Being single on the day of love is a great way to save money, and treat yourself like the king or queen you are. Treat yourself to a relaxing evening on the couch or go have some crazy fun at a club. Whatever you choose, make sure to put yourself first!
