Happy Valentine's Day, or should I say, Happy Singles Awareness Day.

How To Deal With Valentine's Day

Here it comes again. February is the month of the year when everybody only cares about Valentine's Day. Well, except for you. If you're single, you don't have any dates or you just simply enjoy being alone, here is something you can do to spend Valentine's Day on your own.

1. Treat yourself by going to a fine-dining restaurant and ordering the most expensive dish.

Who needs a girlfriend/boyfriend to take you there. You can go by yourself anyway.

2. Surprise yourself with a gift.

Jealous of all the gifts that couple give each other? Don't be. You can buy whatever you want with your own money and still be happy. Get yourself a nice dress, a pair of new shoes, or a designer handbag. Love, love fades away, but things, things are forever.

3. Invite your friends over your house.

Make some popcorn, turn on Netflix, and have good time together. There are a bunch of things you can do with them: play video games, have a beauty makeover, or just simply sit there and make fun of the cheesy couples on social media. It is the cheapest and a fun way to spend Valentine's day.

4. Or you can ... You know what I mean.


If anybody asks what is your plan for Valentine's day, just confidently answer them. There is nothing wrong with being alone.

Don't feel bad for yourself for spending Valentine's day alone. In fact, you still have your family and your friends. Ignore all the couples' posts all over Instagram. It's none of your business and you don't have to care anyway. Don't make yourself look pathetic by crying and whining on social media.

After all, it's just another ordinary Sunday. There is no need to feel bad or compare yourself to others. Love comes and goes all the time, and maybe it's not your time yet. The important thing is to love yourself and become a better person.

HAPPY SINGLES AWARENESS DAY!

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
