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!

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
