43 Things Independent Women Can Do Solo On Valentine’s Day Instead Of Mope

Katrina Burton

If you’re single on Valentine’s Day, remember that it’s all good.

Don’t mope around (or do mope around, that’s okay too) and ask yourself why you’re single, just embrace it and realize how great being single actually is.

You have no worries; you can do whatever you want to do.

Here’s a list of 43 things you can do instead of moping:

1. Tell someone they’re beautiful (literally anyone)

2. Go to the movies

3. Go bowling even if you haven’t gone since you were in middle school

4. Give a flower to someone random

5. Treat yo self

6. Go dancing

7. Go out to eat and buy the most expensive thing on the menu and then worry about it later

8. Watch your favorite show

9. Make your own chocolate covered strawberries

10. Get together with your single crew

11. Get your hair done (do something different with it)

12. Have a mini photo shoot (of yourself, of course, because you’re bomb)

13. Go shopping

14. Listen to your favorite music from the minute you get up until you literally can’t anymore

15. Go to Stewart’s and get your favorite ice cream

16. Start a new book

17. Go to the gym

18. Eat all the food you want but you know you’ll regret later

19. Stay off social media

20. Spend a day with your pet

21. Babysit for a couple that would like to go out

22. Get drunk (not too drunk... Actually, who cares)

23. Get a tattoo you’ve been wanting

24. Go to a comedy show

25. Go roller skating just so you can laugh at how terrible you and everyone else are

26. Order Chinese food or pizza and watch a movie you haven’t watched in ages

27. Sort through your clothes so you can donate some later

28. Pay it forward (whether you pay for someone else’s food or you cover someone’s shift; just do it)

29. Call out of work

30. Go on a Tinder spree

31. Post a bomb ass selfie

32. Go on a date

33. Take a road trip, even if there’s no destination

34. Play a prank on someone

35. Give your single friends a gift

36. Take a very much needed nap

37. Give thanks to everything in your life

38. Write your heart out

39. Change your style up for a day (be risqué)

40. Do something you wouldn’t normally do

41. Go to a club

42. Kiss a stranger

43. Love yourself

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
