1. You get a discount on chocolate

What better way to celebrate being single than gaining a couple pounds after shoving chocolate in your mouth after you’ve decided to have a “cheat day”?

2. You don’t have to see mushy pictures of couples kissing

As if PDA isn’t bad enough on a college campus, now you’re being harassed by constant videos and pictures popping up on social media of two “love birds” going at it.

3. You can look at your bank account with happiness after realizing you didn’t spend money on a valentine

Hopefully you’ll use this extra money wisely, like spending it on that discounted chocolate or spending it on a night out with all of your other single friends.

4. You now have 364 days to find a significant other

Personally, I like being “an independent woman who don’t need no man” but for those of you that are looking for a significant other, the clock has just restarted for you. Times a ticking ladies (or guys)!

5. You don’t have to listen to your friend talk about how romantic their night was anymore

Although I am happy for you that you have such a great boyfriend/girlfriend, I really don’t care about your romantic plans and gifts/flowers/chocolates that your valentine got for you.

6. You don’t have to be assaulted by the colors pink and red

If you’re a fan of the color black and other dull colors, then the constant array of bright pinks and reds may just cause you to go blind. Luckily, it is February 15^th so back to black (aka the color of our souls) we go!

7. Cuffing season is officially over, now it’s time to grab a beer and prepare for St. Patrick’s Day!

The best way to get over this incredibly sappy, unnecessary holiday is to start preparing for the next holiday. So for all of you single people out there, go put on your “Kiss me I’m Irish” t-shirt/button, grab a beer, and start going crazy for the best holiday that doesn’t segregate single people.
