14 Things To Do On Valentine's Day If You're Single

It's 2017 and you're in your twenties; five years ago you would have thought you'd be spending this Valentine's Day with the so called "love of your life". Instead, you're spending all your time getting that degree and working your booty off to pay for it. AKA you have no time for boys. If this description pertains to you at all, like it does me, I've come up with a list of things you can do this Valentine's Day so you don't drown in emotions.

1. Don't say once that "you're going to be alone forever".

First off, we all know this isn't true so don't say that because you'll just make yourself feel worse.

2. Remember that it's only 24 hours.

You have 24 hours to forget that it's Valentine's Day and to do something incredibly productive - like some of the other things on this list.

3. Watch John Tucker Must Die.

Watching this will remind you that the reason you're single is probably because there are way too many John Tuckers out there. It will also remind you that you're a boss a** b*tch and don't have time to play games.

4. Eat chocolate.

We all eat chocolate when we're sad, but in this case eat it because you're single and no one can judge how much of it you eat.

5. Work out.

I mean we probably don't want to work out on Valentine's Day while everyone else is going on cute dates and getting chocolate as gifts, but it will make you feel better. Like "YEAH! I'm an independent female, I don't need anyone else!"

6. Steer clear of social media.

Everyone will be posting annoyingly cute photos of and with their SO. It'll only make you feel worse if that's all you see. I suggest putting your phone on DND across the room and binge watching something.

7. Binge watch something on Netflix.

And by something I mean Shameless. Trust me, you'll fall in love with Lip Gallagher by the second or third episode and all real life boys will never compare.

8. Pamper yourself.

Pull out the bath bombs you got for Christmas, pour yourself a glass of wine and light some candles. Make Valentine's Day your day to take 12 baths.

9. Online shop.


Instead of having to spend money on someone else, you get to spend it on yourself.

10. Order yourself an Edible Arrangement.


Make sure to add a Note to Self.

11. Share the day with your other single girlfriends.


Gather the single ladies and order some take out. That way you can't complain about having a lonely Valentine's Day.

12. Cook for yourself.


Crank "Single Ladies" by Beyonce and shake ya tailfeather as your about to devour a meal for two by yourself.

13. Watch 50 Shades of Grey.


I think you know what's next.

14. Get yourself to the movies and see 50 Shades Darker.

If Christian Grey can't make up for you not having a real Valentine, then I'm sorry.

I hope this list helps you create a memorable, single, valentine-less Valentine's Day but if it doesn't then continue to spend it upset and lonely!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
