When you think of Valentine’s Day you tend to think of sappy lovers and chocolates.

The thought of this tends to make many teenagers cringe, especially if they have nobody to share the day with. There are so many other things to do with your holiday other than make your life miserable by scrolling through all the cute couple pictures and wishing you were them. Being single is not a bad thing, so embrace it while you can. You can take the time to learn a whole lot about yourself.

Instead of wasting away the holiday, here are some other things that you can do with your day, if you don’t have a special date, with a special someone.

1. Take a friend on a date

If you have a friend that has no plans, you could both go together to your favorite nice restaurant.

2. Go out and celebrate being single

Being single is NOT a bad thing!! Go out and have fun with all of the other single people.

3. Shop 'til you drop

Go out and buy yourself a Valentine's Day gift. Many say that "money doesn't buy happiness", but retail therapy always makes me feel very happy... Until I see my bank account.

4. Watch movies

You can binge watch all of your favorite movies, and enjoy every second of it.

5. Hang out with your parents

Being around your parents tends to fill the emptiness you can sometimes feel when you are alone.

6. Pamper yourself

Go out and get a mani/pedi, get your hair done, or get a tan. This ALWAYS makes you feel put together and like your best self.

7. Cook yourself a 5 star dinner

Just because you don't have someone to cook you a dinner, doesn't mean that you can't be independent and make yourself one! Plus, you won't have to share.

8. Treat it like any ordinary day

Just because it is Valentine's Day doesn't mean that you have to acknowledge it. Treat it like a regular day filled with work, school, or laying around being lazy.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
