Love is in the air, and it stinks. Valentine's Day is back which means all of the obnoxious Instagram couples' collages, sappy statuses and public displays of affection are back to remind you of why you hate this time of year. At this point, you're probably feeling a little lonely and that weird guy who stares at you in your Econ class is probably looking a little better than usual, but before you give in, think of all of the fun you can have this holiday without a handsome fellow on your arm. Who said you have to have a date this Valentine's Day? Here are 14 things to do that are so much better:

1. Hit The Gym

You have no one to impress but yourself so why not kickstart your day feeling powerful and fly as a mother?

2. Buy Yourself Something Nice

Since you don't have to spend money on a significant other, spend it on the best person you know-- yourself.

3. Have A Drink

. . . or three.

4. Sing Along To Your Favorite Songs

"I keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love."

5. Meet A Nice Guy On Tinder

Ha! Good luck with that.

6. Call Home

Someone is guaranteed to say "I love you."

7. Practice Pick-Up Lines In The Mirror

Maybe with some more practice you'll have a valentine next year.

8. Have A Dance Party (Alone)

Chances are no guy at the bar could keep up with your fierce moves on the dance floor.

9. Bake Some Cookies

Let the hot, melty chocolate chips fill the void in your heart.

10. Order In A Good Meal

Dinner for one? No problem! Order take out from your favorite spot and have a candlelit dinner at home. TREAT YO' SELF!

11. Call Your Ex

JUST KIDDING. THIS IS A TERRIBLE IDEA. DO. NOT. EVER. NO.

12. Do A Random Act Of Kindness

You're not the only one feeling lonely today. Do something to make someone else's day a little brighter!

13. Watch A Movie

Skip the sad stuff and have a laugh! Watch a classic comedy and try to laugh at something other than being perpetually alone.

14. Go To Bed Early

This day is for the birds anyway.

Happy Valentine's Day!
