There is about one week until Valentine's Day, and you see red and pink anywhere you look. Restaurants are now taking reservations, pizza places are advertising their limited time heart-shaped pizza, and your coupled friends are stressing out about what to get their significant other. The only plans you have so far for this Valentine's Day are probably ordering pizza and binge watching Netflix with all of your single friends. Here are some thoughts that are probably running through your head as you try to survive this week:
1. Wow. Where did all of these couples come from?
They are literally everywhere.
2. Can I still give my friends some Valentine's Day cards?
I hope they like homemade ones.
3. Why did I ever turn that guy down?
Is it too late now to say sorry?
4. What should I do while my friends are all on their dates?
Sing along to Adele. Blast Taylor Swift's music. Eat a box of chocolates. Repeat.
5. Wow. Please stop with the PDA.
It's everywhere you go. At school, at the mall, at restaurants. Sorry, but I don't think there's a way of escaping this part of Valentine's Day.
6. Does anyone actually need a stuffed animal that big?
7. OK, maybe they do.
As my friend would say, it's like a boyfriend but doesn't talk.
8. Maybe my parents will offer to pay for my dinner.
It's still free dinner. Am I right?
9. Better yet, maybe someone will actually ask me out to dinner this year.
10. Actually, I don't care.
11. At least chocolates will be on sale next week.
So if you're alone this Valentine's Day, just remember that you are not the only one. Also, if you do have a date this year, be a good person and bring your leftover dinner food and chocolate home to your single roommate. Or you can be a great friend and buy them dinner and chocolates. Happy February 14th! XOXO
