A List of Things To Do For This Valentine's If You're Single

I just wanted to make your day better rather than having you seething.

A List of Things To Do For This Valentine's If You're Single

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and you're still single.

It's okay. At least you won't be the only seething at your Instagram feed when you see all those couples going out on cute dinners. I mean, what's so special about this over-commercialized holiday? Valentine's Day is nothing more than a day for couples to forget their problems and end the night with wild, scandalous sex. I mean, it's not like I'm jealous of the sex part.

However, me being the nice person I am, I came up with a list (with the help of a friend) of things that you can do on this awful, lonely night.

1. Get drunk and do drugs

We all know everything gets better when your mind is all fuzzy from the alcohol and drugs you've done. You forget your pains and your bitterness; and you love everybody because, in the end, the world is such a nice and happy place, am I right?

But if you are one of those people who cry a lot when wasted, maybe the next option might be better for you.

2. Netflix and chill by yo' self

It's better to be alone than with bad company, right? If anything, watch one of those stupid romantic comedies on Netflix. I'm sure they'll make you feel better about your single life because you don't have to deal with all that drama. It would be a nice date for you, your loneliness, and your right hand.

And here's a recommendation from my friend: Legally Blonde, because she is an independent, white woman who doesn't need a man! (Her words, not mine.)

3. Challenge yourself to eat a meal for you and the guy who never answered your "Do you like me? Yes or No?" note

There's nothing more romantic than a bowl of your favorite pasta and a glass of wine. So, cook a meal for two—and eat it all y yourself. Serve two glasses of wine (or vodka or tequila)—and drink them by yourself. Trust me, your stomach will thank you later for all those carbs.

4. Swipe right on Tinder until you match with somebody

Now, this is if you don't want to spend the night by yourself. Go to any dating app you have—be it Tinder or Grindr or slide in somebody's DMs—and pray to the gods of dating that you'll find a last minute date.

If somebody answers you, shamelessly ask them out on a date. If they answered you, it's because they have nobody to spend the day with, just like you! Explain to them how the day will be, you know. Maybe out for a movie (like the Maze Runner because why not?) then dinner. And if they want dessert, just bring them home. You're welcome.

5. Eat a pint of ice cream and cry

They say that dessert doesn't go to your stomach, but to the heart; I think they couldn't be more correct. You know, it's okay if you cry while eating it. Ice cream will make you feel much better about our loneliness. Trust me, I've been in this position many times. Nothing feels better than that sweet, sticky blessing sliding down your throat. Plus, it ain't warm but cool. *insert a smirk here for the sake of my crappy joke*


I totally guarantee that at least more than one thing on this list will totally make your night. There are no refunds; so buy wisely. And if you buy wisely, you won't end up with 50 roses and 10 boxes of chocolate that your crush didn't accept because they didn't want to be your valentine. Now, once again, I'm not talking from personal experiences here lol.

And one last thing, if you're single like many of us reading this, watch this video! It will give you a much better idea of what to do with your night.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
