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 fleeky, and go out with your best friends. There’s no better way to celebrate being single than with your girlfriends.

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!

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.
