Every year around this time, girls seem to get all squirmy and anxious wondering who is going to confess their love for them, or if their otherwise crappy boyfriends are going to actually step up to the plate and make Valentine's Day plans. Well I have a solution for all the girls who are close to positive that they have no secret admirer, or don't care much to pressure anyone around them to buy them a teddy bear. Be your own Valentine this year.

The worst thing a girl can do, in my opinion, is stress over a made up holiday. If you're afraid yor boyfriend won't give much acknowledgement to the day, or if just don't have anyone, it's okay to do your own thing. What I mean by that is have a day of treating yourself. Get your nails done, your hair done, buy fancy lingerie just to sit in the house and watch back-to-back episodes of Sex in the City. Valentine's Day is about love, and if you love yourself, then treat yourself.

Something else to remember, that even I struggle with from time to time, is not to worry about what your friends are doing for Valentine's Day. Maybe your best friend has a boyfriend of a couple months and their excited to spend their first V-Day together. Be happy for them, but don't let it remind you how single you are. Think about it in terms of this is your friend's time to be happy in a relationship, and your time to be happy in other ways. Maybe your'e making major moves in your career, or acing all of those quizzes and tests that keep coming your way, or maybe you finally finished every episode and every season of Shameless. Either way, you don't have to be jealous.

Last and not least, just remember that it's only one day, and as soon as it is over everyone will go back to hating each other.
