Before you go sobbing, watching the new Fifty Shades and drowning yourself in wine, remember, being single on Valentine’s Day is not too bad. In fact, it’s pretty f*cking awesome. Here are five reasons why Valentine's Day isn't the worst for all the single ladies.
1. It’s a great excuse for a girls night out.
While many girls feel like sitting on their couch with a box of chocolate all night, I say it’s the perfect night to get up, get
2. One word; chocolate.
Who needs a boyfriend to give them a box of chocolate when there’s the nearest CVS? In fact, we all win the golden ticket on Valentine’s Day; there’s chocolate, everywhere. So, grab your friends and every box of chocolate you see. Calories are a lot more fun when consumed with your girl friends anyways!
3. No need to post that classic boyfriend Instagram.
While many people think social media should be off limits for single people on V-Day, I say it’s the perfect opportunity for sarcastic humorists like myself to get together and laugh at all the sappy boyfriend posts on Instagram--maybe we’re really laughing at ourselves, but that’s okay.
4. No need to panic about buying the perfect present.
While many people scramble to find the perfect gift for their significant others, all those who are single can relax and watch the chaos. If anything, treat yourself with those shoes you’ve been obsessing over!
5. A reminder you don’t need anyone but yourself.
While it initially may suck waking up to spending yet another Valentine’s Day alone, it really is not the end of the world. In the end, you don’t need anyone but yourself. So, take this time to practice some self-love. You are your own best friend.So, this isn’t some type of female-empowering pep-talk. It’s just a little harsh reminder that you're not just single on Valentine’s Day, you're single every other day too. So, don’t make Valentine’s Day an excuse to dwell on your lonely misery. These are the best years of your life to be single, so embrace every second of them!
