Valentine's Day is literally the worst holiday in the world. Was it only designed to make single people feel like absolute shit? Seems like it. Valentine's Day has been awkward for as long as I can remember. The last time anyone throughly enjoyed it was elementary school, when we received Valentine's from the whole class. Man were those the days. We were all in it together!
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hater because I'm single. In fact, I've had a valentine a few times and honestly, it's nothing that great. The older I get, the more I realize how completely stupid the entire idea of it is. The only reason anyone actually celebrates is for bragging rights. "Ohhh here's a casual snap of my flowers and chocolate because I'm the luckiest girl with the best guy in the world." News flash: he only bought you that because you'd throw a hissy fit if he didn't. Also, he knows he's definitely getting a bj out of it.
I enjoy playing drinking games out of social media on this grand Hallmark holiday. Instagram of roses? Drink. Facebook check in at a restaurant with bae? Drink. Someone has a secret admirer? Drink. Date night pic where someone's wearing red? Drink. (Drink twice if they're matching) Someone posting about being single? SHOT. You'll probably be drunk by noon but it's okay, you deserve it.
It's not just single girls who hate this holiday though, in fact most people seem to hate it. If you don't do something, you're judged, and if you do, you're judged too. You honestly can't win on Feb. 14. Only good part is the half-price candy the next day. But even that costs you the bikini body you've been working on. So, scratch that, v-day still sucks.
So grab your girlfriends, grab the wine and love on each other. Because that's who your soul mates are. Cheers.
