Oh, the joyous holiday has returned. Roses, balloons, and the whole hoopla of the day has all the single people wanting to hide in a cave for 24 hours. It doesn't have to be such a bad thing though, in fact Valentine's day can be a pretty awesome time to just be happy with yourself. To kick back and enjoy all the chocolate you want.

Here are some of the advantages to being single on this holiday:

Heart Shaped Pizza

Instead of finer dining, you can dine on one of the finer things in life… in your sweatpants….in heart shaped form… sounds like a no brainer to me.

No Gifts

Not only do you not have to spend any money (bless), but you also don’t have to act surprised at any of the gifts you get. I’m not alone when I say that valentine’s day gifts are so cliché it hurts. Stuffed animals, flowers, chocolate, and jewelry for the more serious relationships. All good things, but not a shocker when you get you get any of the above.

Half priced chocolate…EVERYWHERE

The best day of the year for all my chocolate lovers is February 15th. All those red and pink aisles you had to pass by for 2 months is finally up for grabs.

Enjoying all the E-Card Humor Cards

These come around every year, and get better with time. If you haven't spent hours laughing at these hilarious cards then you totally should.

Chick-flick galore

All the best of the hallmark movies are on repeat, what a time to be alive!! Grab your tissues, Ben and Jerry’s, and wrap up in a fuzzy blanket to binge watch as many sappy romances as your heart desires.

Single friends Unite

All your friends who don’t have that significant other are probably feeling the same as you about this holiday, so why not gang up and have a fun night together? V-day is about love, doesn’t mean it must be romantic. Spend time with your besties and show them how you appreciate their friendship.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
