I've always liked Valentine's Day. Everything is pink and happy and covered in hearts. It's great. You don't have to be in a serious relationship to enjoy Valentine's Day. I've seen tons of articles clearly written by someone depressed about their love life attempting to persuade others (and themselves) that being single on Valentine's Day isn't so bad (as in every Cosmo article ever).

I'm not going to give you some cheesy "fall in love with yourself this Valentine's Day" line. I think that's dumb, and I hope you already love yourself. I do, however, think being single is pretty fun. If you are feeling down this Valentine's Day, and I really don't think you should be, join me in the following Valentine's Day routine:

1. Breakfast

Start the day off right. If you got that cash money flow, go to brunch with friends. If you are like me and schedule time in your day to search your furniture for loose change, then maybe stay in for breakfast. Channel your inner Beyonce, fix your hair and put on a racy tank to scramble some eggs at home. Or just cover your body in bagels and eat them off while watching "New Girl" in bed (my plan).

2. Work Out

If you do step one right, you will be pretty full and may hate yourself. That's not a fun way to spend Valentine's Day. Put some fresh jams in your ears and go for a run. You'll feel awesome. You'll have all the endorphins. You'll probably think you're better looking than you actually are. That's all good. Exercising is an awesome mood and confidence boost.

3. Look Super Fly

This is pretty self-explanatory. Your day will just be better if you don't dress like a bum. This means no sweatpants, oversized tees, or hoodies. Wear something you know you look fine in.

4. Treat Yourself

Spending money is pretty much the worst. Fortunately, Valentine's Day is only once a year. This means for one day of the year, you can spend money on yourself and have no regrets. Buy yourself a new dress, a cupcake, a bunch of random things at Target, or some candles. Do not mistake this as me telling you to shop away your sadness. If you are sad, get it together before you do this.

5. Have a Girls' Night

Go out to dinner with friends. If the bank account is a problem because you treated yourself a little too much, break out snack foods and stay on the couch. Girl time is fun. You can talk about how much you hate boys, or love them, or both. Watch a fun movie that no guy would ever want to watch with you. Eat peanut butter out of the jar. No judgement.

6. Go Out on the Town

One of the best parts of Valentine's Day: every guy you meet out is single (or a really bad boyfriend). I'm definitely not telling you to go out to bars just to meet guys. That's probably a bad idea. I am saying go out with girlfriends, get weird, and dance to Justin Bieber in public. Enjoy being in the company of other single people. This is the only day of the year when everyone in the club is single.

Whether you enjoy Valentine's Day or spend months dreading it (please don't — it's one day, calm down), I hope you find a way to spend it exactly like you want. If you plan to spend the day sulking, come find me; we'll have a real good time.
