Valentine's Day sucks. I am convinced that it's a conspiracy invented by Hallmark, Russell Stover and the floral industry. If you find yourself disagreeing with my statements, you're probably in a relationship. Or a hopeless romantic. Or someone who "loves love". Being single, on the only day that is dedicated to love, sucks. There's no way anyone can dispute that.

Remember back in elementary school when Valentine's Day was fun? We all had each other's back, no man was left behind, because the ENTIRE class was your Valentine. Everyone brought in Valentine cards in for everyone. Those were the days. But here we are today, where it's every man (and woman) for themselves.

But to be totally real with you, it is perfectly okay to celebrate Valentine's Day even if you're single. Valentine's Day, like every other holiday, is just a time to surround yourself with people who you love and who love you back. So surround yourself with some of your people, and celebrate your love for them.

If you're stumped on what to do with your loved ones, I have taken it upon myself to compile a list of activities that even the most anti-Valentine's Day pessimist couldn't say no to.

*Cue Taylor Swift's "Today Was a Fairytale"*

1. Spa Day: It's hard being bitter about being single when you're getting a deep tissue massage. I would, however, make a reservation at a spa that serves alcohol (i.e. The Beauty Bar at Geist, in Indianapolis). If the relaxation does not take your mind off being single, the alcohol surely will.

2. Movie Day: Gather your babes up, pop some popcorn, sit back and watch some of your favorite movies. Since I'm already giving you a list of activities to do, I'm not going to write a list of movies that you could watch because I can't do all the work for you. However, I will recommend Valentine's Day, for five reasons: 1. Taylor Lautner 2. Bradley Cooper 3. Ashton Kutcher 4. Eric Dane (a.k.a. Dr. McSteamy) 5. Patrick Dempsey (a.k.a. Dr. McDreamy). You can thank me later.

If you're feeling extra crazy, might I suggest going to go see How To Be Single (in theaters now!). The movie has Queen Rebel Wilson in it, so you already know you're going to be sore from laughing. It also has that girl from 50 Shades of Gray in it, so that's cool. I guess.

3. Bake: Make celebrity chef Bobby Flay proud and make the best damn brownies ever. Seriously, a jar of Nutella, some flour and a few eggs. Delizioso! The perfect Valentine's Day treat. Brownies > A significant other.

4. Go On An Adventure: Get gussied up and go to that diner that you always pass but never actually have been to. Or go into that cute little store. Or just drive until you end up somewhere new. But if you do that, just make sure you have your phone so you can GPS your way back home. If you don't, you're going to end up on the evening news as a missing person when you were just wanting some Valentine's Day adventure.

5. Shopping Spree (#TreatYoSelf): I feel like this is pretty self-explanatory. But hit up your mall and buy yourself a new outfit. Or a new pair of shoes. Or the outfit and the shoes because they're both just sooooo cute that you're literally dyyyyying.

6. Pinterest Day: Surround yourself with some of your favorites, mason jars and unrealistic expectations of how these DIYs actually will turn out. Seriously, has anyone succeeded at making a Pinterest craft? Martha Stewart, sit down, you don't count. However, nothing takes your mind off your disappointing relationship status than hot gluing your fingers together and/or spilling glitter everywhere. You're going to be finding glitter around for the next 6-12 months, just in time for next Valentine's Day.

7. Reminisce With Your Best Babes: All jokes and pessimism aside, this is what I plan on spending my Valentine's Day doing because although relationships are great, the relationships I truly cherish are the ones I made with my two Best Babes. Being friends for almost a decade, we've made many memories. Spend Valentine's Day with people you love, it's a lot less depressing than spending it alone.

8. Girl's Night Out: Remember that outfit and shoes you bought in #5? Well time to put that to good use. Try out a new YouTube makeup tutorial (from one makeup lover to another: even when you think you're done blending, blend more), throw on your new outfit and go out and have fun. Go out and make the memories that you can reminisce about another day.

9. Game Night: If you're underaged, might I suggest playing a game of Apples to Apples. Maybe Bananagrams? If you're feeling like a party animal, I'm sure playing Cards Against Humanity will fill the void being single on Valentine's Day has left. For the 21+ crowd, might I suggest playing drinking games? Because like I said earlier, alcohol will deeeefinitely fill the void of being #ForeverSingle.

10. Be Your Own Valentine: Think about it like this: you don't need a significant other to have a memorable V-Day. Be your own Valentine. Buy your own chocolate. Buy yourself a big teddy bear. Just because this Valentine's Day is going to be spent as "single", doesn't mean next year will. If spending Valentine's Day as single is the worst thing that happens to you this year, than you've had a really solid year.

Bottom line: Valentine's Day should be spent with people you love. Rather it be family, friends, or a significant other. The important thing to remember is being in a relationship won't heal you and being single won't kill you.

Have a great, safe Valentine's Day. Make it one to remember. Or if you're 21, the one you'll try to piece together for years to come.

PS: And to the couples, I know it's Valentine's Day, but keep the PDA to a minimum. It's disgusting.
