HOW TO ROCK BEING SINGLE ON VALENTINE'S DAY
ScreenRant

Ladies and Gentlemen it is that time of year! The moment when all your friends who are happily in relationships gush over the gifts, flowers, and romantic ideas their significant others are planning for Valentine’s Day. While for those in love this is the time to reflect on the romantic side of the relationship, for singles it can be a harrowing, down-right depressing week (yes I said week).

However, have no fear! As a single lady, myself, I have compiled a list for those dreading the “next morning with my coworker who tells me all about his/her amazing evening” conversation.

Here are five things you should plan to do on Valentine's Day to keep your mind off the ooey-gooey relationships around you.

PS: this list is so good, your friends in relationships will be jealous.

1. Visit an Animal Shelter

No matter how unloved you feel by humans, you can't feel that way about cute, adorable puppies and kittens. They can brighten anyone's mood. Find a local shelter and just spend your morning gathering up the love and affection from the little fur-balls.

2. Movie Marathon Your Celebrity Crush

Let's face it. Our true love will always be the characters our celebrity crush plays. So why not spend the afternoon catching up on Heath Ledger singing in "10 Things I Hate About You" or Leonardo DiCaprio keeping Rose from jumping in "Titanic"? You know you want to.

3. Have A Girl's Night Out

While this may be an option not many of us have (since all our friends our in happy relationships), some of you may have another friend who is single. Well if that's the case, pair up and have some fun! Treat yourselves to a nice meal, or go see a movie together. Whatever it may be, at least if you guys run into any romance along the way, you have each other to remember that being single rocks!

4. Laugh It Up

One of the best remedies for loneliness or sorrow is to laugh! So grab your blanket, junk food, and favorite cuddle companion (stuffed animal, pillow, etc) and get ready to binge YouTube for some comedy. My favorite site to watch from is Bad Lip Readings.

5. Binge Watch Grey's Anatomy

If all else fails, binge watch Shonda Rhimes' creative invention--Grey's Anatomy. Trust me. These relationships are so intertwined and messed up, you will be thankful for being single.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
