It's coming, brace yourselves. It snuck up on us, clinching on our shirts like a toddler on a leash. Yes, Valentine's Day is coming up in the next few weeks or so. And yes, the couples will emerge, posting on Instagram of all the cutesy gifts and chocolates, but there is another group that will rise: single girls.
Don't get me wrong, being single on Valentine's Day isn't the worst thing in the world. In fact, you can even make the best of it. Here's the ultimate (survival) kit and tips for single girls on Valentine's Day.
1. Dress to the nines that day.
You might want to stay in bed and under your blankets all day, but don't let a single holiday ruin your day! Get up, take a shower, do your hair and makeup for once, and throw on a cute outfit! I know in college this can be hard, but treat yourself!
Dress for you. Be feelin' yourself and dress to the nines! It will make you feel ten times better about yourself even though you have no one to cuddle. Which leads me into my next point.
2. Invest in a boyfriend pillow.
Why you may ask? For cuddling! Put on some Netflix, grab a whole roll of cookie dough, and curl up next to your favorite boyfriend pillow. It will sure get you in the mood.
3. Don't cry.
This is a common stereotype for anyone who's single on Valentine's Day, so let's not do it, shall we? Just because you're alone on one single freaking holiday about love, does not mean we have to cry about it! You're alone for the rest of the year and you don't cry. It's just another day, it will be over in 24 hours.
4. Have/host a Netflix marathon.
Whether it's by yourself or with a group of your closest single friends, host a Netflix marathon and watch a bunch of movies! Turn on some Bridget Jones and totally have a chill movie marathon!
5. Host a Galentines' Day brunch/party.
Get together with some of your closest friends, throw on your nicest dress (or pair of sweatpants) and host a party for you and your single friends! You don't have to worry about getting dressed up and looking hot af for your date, and you can just have a fun time with your friends without feeling lonely.
