We're officially a month into 2016. Congratulations, you did it! January has come and gone, and here comes February full swing ahead. February, what a time to be alive. Who wouldn't want an endless supply of all things red, chocolates, roses, and corny Instagram posts about how much girls love their boyfriends.

And then there's me, lonely and -- alone. Every single year -- nothing ever changes. I've never been the relationship type so, naturally, when the big V-Day rolls around, I feel left out. Over the years, I've learned to be OK with it. Honestly, all I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriends.

1. They comfort you better than any boy ever will.

Bad week, messy day? No problem. She's only a phone call away and I can guarantee she'll arrive at your front door with cake, cookies, and other fattening foods that will go straight to your a**.

2. They get excited at the same corny crap that you do.

"Wanna go see that new movie, How To Be Single?"
Oh, my god -- yeah!"
Oh, my god -- I love you!"
"Ah!"
"Ah!"

3. They're accepting of your strange behaviors.

Nose picker? State champion burper? World class farter? No problem. Nothing that you can do at this stage of your friendship can scare her off (hopefully).

4. They deal with your reoccurring mental breakdowns.

I know I'm not the only one who talks to themselves sometimes when your best friend fails to text you back. That's OK, though, she'll read them all eventually.

5. They support the amount of wine you're about to consume.

Wine and chocolates -- all a single girl needs.

6. They're down to do weird, questionable things with you.

We all have that one friend we share a questionable relationship with. There's a fine line between close and too close.

7. Their hugs make the world go round.

Nothing is better than their shoulder when you need a good cry, except maybe a donut.

8. They're down to adventure with you.

Because what in life is better than a partner in crime?

9. They ride the struggle bus with you.

All for one and one for all, right?

10. They understand your weird, sarcastic sense of humor.

Your bond is unbreakable, nothing can come between you two.

11. They understand you better than you understand yourself.

They know you inside and out, all of your good and your bad, and they're still friends with you. Better give that girl some damn credit.
