So you're single on Valentine's Day? Most people would think being all by your lonesome on the national day of love is such a tragedy. However, I have a little... okay, maybe a lot experience in this department, and it actually has its perks.

No gift buying.

Since your single, you don't have to buy gifts for anyone! No need to worry about rushing to the mall on a last minute’s notice (because yes, we all wait until the last minute) to buy diamond earrings for your girlfriend or some fancy watch for your boyfriend. Think of all the glorious money you will be saving and get to spend on yourself.

No overrated restaurants.

Who has time to call up the fanciest, most expensive restaurant in town and fuss with getting a table for two to only find out its been booked up for months when all we really want to do is lay on the couch in our PJ's, eat a box of chocolates, and watch a sappy movie.

---

Treat yo' self.

With all the money you get to save by not having to buy and gift for your significant other or a pricey dinner for two, you get to TREAT. YO. SELF. Go buy yourself those shoes you’ve been wanting or all the V-day chocolate your heart desires.

---

Sleep all day.

Because why not? You don't have anywhere to be or have anyone to please, so hit the snooze button and sleep your single worries away.

Galentine's Day

Leslie Knope is a real genius for coming up with this fantastic holiday. What’s Galentine’s Day? It’s a day for ladies to celebrate ladies (sorry guys). If you aren’t the only single gal on Valentine’s day spend the day with your friends and live it up. Go out, stay in, who cares, it’s just you ladies. Technically it’s February 13,but we can break the rules.

So Happy Valentine's Day to all you single guys and gals, may you not be alone forever!
