Valentine's Day is fast approaching, and love is truly in the air. For some, they love spending this day with their S.O, and for the rest, it just reminds us of how single we are. If you are part of the few that are flying solo this year, here are some reasons why you're better off:

1. You'll be saving quite a bit of money

Think about how expensive those giant teddy bears are, and how you don't have to buy one

2. You're not wasting your time on the wrong person

It may be nice to have a date on the day of love, but make sure they're actually worth it first

3. Preparing for Valentine's Day is exhausting

Can you even imagine the hell that is making a dinner reservation for that day?

4. You won't be disappointed

I'm not saying men are disappointing, but if you don't have a man, you have no chance of being disappointed by one

5. You'll have more me-time

While everyone else is going out on a date, you'll have the chance to catch up on homework. Or more time to procrastinate

6. Galentine's Day is soooo much better

Leslie Knope knew what she was doing when she created a holiday just for spending time with your girls

7. Movie night!!

And not some cheesy romance film, because gross!

8. Buying half-priced chocolate the day after is the BEST

That's where the real celebration is at

9. It's pretty much just another day

People think we only have to be affectionate for just one day? Pssh

10. The holiday is actually VERY overrated

Don't let those gross chick flicks tell you otherwise. Love is not just dancing in the ocean, or whatever the hell Rachel McAdams did in The Notebook

So if you got a man to celebrate with this February, great! If you don't, no need to sweat it. Being single on the day of love is no big deal, because, really, it's just another day. Soon, February 15 will roll around and the day of flowers, dates, and disappointments will just be a memory.
