Valentine's Day is a pretty cool holiday whether or not you have a boo. It's a time to show your love for others, even if that just means your friends. Here are some tips on how to "survive" Valentine's Day as a single independent woman/man who don't need no man/woman.

1. Understand that you actually aren't "alone."

There are a ton of people across the world who are "forever alone" as well. You aren't alone in being alone. Misery loves company, am I right?

2. Hang out with your friends or family.

Valentine's Day doesn't have to just be between you and a partner. Call your friend up and go see that new "Fifty Shades" movie coming out.

3. Realize that Valentine's Day is pretty much only to make money.

Appreciate the fact that you're doing yourself a favor by being single on Valentine's Day. Do you know how much money you're saving? You don't find yourself on February 15 with tears in your eyes while reviewing your online banking account.

4. Avoid couples.

Avoid mushy couples, or really all couples, like the plague.

5. TREAT YO SELF.

Buy yourself a box of chocolates or even a rose. Who says you need someone else to buy it for you?

6. Appreciate the single life.

Being single is a blessing. Plus, why date someone when you have yourself?

I hope this helps all you single men/ladies this Valentine's Day. You are perfect just the way you are, and you don't need anyone to validate that. Happy Valentine's Day!
