4 Ways To Treat Yo' Self This Valentine's Day
Best Day Ever Banners

Valentine's Day is the most romantic day of the year. Unless, you know, you happen to be single. Even if you enjoy being on your own, it can be a little nerve-wracking to see all of the happy couples celebrating their love so conspicuously. If you think you don't have somebody to love this Valentine's Day, just remember you always have yourself. Here are four ways to "treat yo' self" this Valentine's Day.

1. Celebrate Galentine's Day

What better way to enjoy one Parks and Recreation reference than by celebrating another? Take your closest gal pals out to dinner, a movie, or just have them over to exchange small gifts and sip some wine. Sometimes there's nothing more enjoyable than the company of your best friends.

2. Buy Yourself a New Outfit

Everyone tends to get dressed up for Valentine's Day. The pink dresses and heart earrings come out for dinner with that special someone. But since you're a strong, independent single, you don't need anyone to dress up for but yourself. So go ahead and buy that snazzy new outfit, you deserve it!


3. Take Yourself Out on Your Dream Date

Have you always pictured a romantic night stargazing or a picnic watching a sunset? Maybe you just dream of going on a date where nothing goes wrong. The beauty of being single is that you can make that happen, without any of the nasty disappointments that go along with being in the presence of another person. This Valentine's Day, treat yo' self to a nice night out.


4. Discover Self Love

Learning how to love yourself is one of the hardest things to do. Sometimes we feel like we need the validation of others in our lives, but in reality, we don't. It's so important to know how to accept and appreciate yourself. Of course it's nice to have someone to hold and cherish on Valentine's Day, but always remember that at the end of the day, you're all you have. Take care of yourself and watch your self-esteem soar.


Around this time of year, it's easy to get caught up in the longing for a significant other. It honestly can seem like this holiday is out to prove to us just how alone we really are. This Valentine's Day, be sure to treat yo' self because you're a strong, independent single that doesn't need no S.O.

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.

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.
