How To Spend Valentine's Day Single
netflixlife

Valentine's Day is a holiday in which single people tend to feel lonely. But, believe it or not, there are fun things that single people can do on Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day is about celebrating love and showing affection, but you do not need a boyfriend or girlfriend to enjoy the holiday. So, here are a list of things that you can do as a single person to celebrate the wonderful holiday called Valentine's Day:


1. Give Your Friends Valentine Cards

Remember those Valentine cards you used to have to buy for your friends in elementary school? Those were just the best. You had to give everyone one even if you did not like them. If you were lucky, you even got a candy to go along with it. Those were the days. You can still do this with your friends! I mean giving cute cards and getting candy is never a bad idea.


2. Watch A Romantic Movie With Your BFFs

Watch romantic movies with your best friends and talk about how much you want a relationship like that. However, there are never perfect relationships like there are on television. But, a girl can dream, right?


3. Buy Yourself Chocolate

Why not?! No one else is buying you chocolate, so go for it! Indulge!


4. Bake some goodies!

There is nothing like some cute and delicious cookies on Valentine's Day! So, bake yourself some. You deserve it!


5. Buy yourself roses

You can't do Valentine's Day without a bouquet of roses. Pretty colors and sweet smells are extremely irresistible.


6. Fall in love

I mean you're single, so why not?


7. Netflix and chill (but literally chill)

Invite some friends over and just relax and let Netflix entertain you.


8. Partayyy

No better way to meet people than at parties, am I right? Have some friends over and just have a good time. You don't need a boyfriend or girlfriend to have fun!! Let's go GNO! Or, BNO. But, boys don't really say that...


9. Have a cuddle sesh...with your dog or cat

You can't go wrong with cuddling with your pets. They are there for you no matter what.


10. Read a Romantic novel

This girl is totally posing. Also, that doesn't look like a novel, it looks like a journal. So, Google is lying to me. I typed in "girl reading romantic novel" and this is what I get. I am appalled. However, please do read a romantic novel. Warning: they may make you feel bad about yourself because you don't have a flawless relationship. But ... plus side is, it is probably fiction.


11. Be thankful

Sit back and relax!! Be thankful that you have no Valentine's Day to plan for a significant other. Relationships are a lot of effort when you think about it. You don't need to buy anything for anyone or think about planning any "fun" or "romantic" activities for anyone.


So...you don't need to be taken on Valentine's Day to have a fun time! Hope you all enjoy!

AI music threatens creativity

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.
