10 Ways To Treat Your Single Self On Valentine's Day

Just because you're single doesn't mean you have to feel left out of the festivities.

It's that time of year again. Valentine's Day is quickly approaching and people are making their dinner reservations and stocking up on roses. I want to bring attention to the idea of thriving on February 14th even as a single woman. There are some unique ways you could celebrate and make the most out of Valentine's Day as a single.

1. Buy yourself a present

Whether it be chocolate, flowers, or one of those obnoxiously large teddy bears, you deserve some gifts...treat yourself!

2. Watch a rom-com

We all love a little of "The Vow" or "How to lose a guy in 10 days". There's nothing better than a movie marathon with your gal pals especially when it features your celebrity crush. If you're really in the spirit "Valentine's Day" is always a classic too.

3. Shop around

Stores usually have holiday sales for Valentine's Day, go on a shopping spree and take advantage of the holiday sales!

4. Two words: Spa. Day.

Take advantage of the "me-time" for some self care, a spa day is always a good day.

5. Host a GALentines

My favorite way to celebrate! Get your girl gang together and do something fun as a group to make some memories with people you care about.

6. Take a road trip

Take some time for yourself, get out of your town and go somewhere you've never been. It'll be refreshing and you won't be around to see all your locals doing all of the typical couple things.

7. Unplug

Go the full day or a couple of hours without social media.Take the day off so you won't feel left out of all of the mushy love posts.

8. Workout

I know it's different for everyone, but i feel like working out releases so much stress that I carry around daily. Take a hike, a spin class, yoga, etc. to send your mind and body good and healthy vibes. Besides, the class you've been wanting to take that's always full most likely will have open spots on Valentine's night.

9. Wear something that makes you feel good

Whether this looks like your best red dress or comfy pajama pants, own it! You don't have to be with someone to dress up (or down!).

10. Spread the love

You don't have to be in a romantic relationship to celebrate Valentine's day. I'm a firm believer in spreading love every day, but if there's a specific day to celebrate it, I'm totally for it. Whether it's someone you love and care about, or a stranger, show some love to someone else today through an act of kindness.

Being single is a celebratory moment that is often overlooked. This is a time you can focus on YOU. Remember to stay confident regardless of your relationship status. Love yourself because you're amazing, worthy of love and so purposed. You go girl!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
