Being Single For Valentine's Day As Told By 'The Office'

Ahh, Valentine's Day, the day where companies sell you millions of cards, chocolates, and flowers to show the person you love that you love them.

There are two types of people: those who love this holiday (usually in a happy and loving relationship) and those who hate it (sad, lonely, bitter people like myself). I don't hate it strictly because I'm single, I just think that every day should be the perfect time to tell, or show, that person how much you love them. If any of you single folk out there are upset about being single for Valentine's Day, think of how much money you're saving. Use that money and go buy yourself something nice. Love yourself instead. Or use this day to sit inside and watch Romantic Comedies and cry (me). I can't think of a group of more bitter people than the characters from 'The Office', so without further ado, here's what being single for Valentine's Day feels like as told by them.

When you hear couples talking about their holiday plans

When you realize you're going to be alone, again...

Seeing cheesy gifts/decorations in every store

Realizing that being single means you don't have to spend money because you're broke af

Seeing couples show affection in public

Watching Romantic Comedies and crying because you want to find a love like theirs

Realizing that food's better than human contact anyways

Realizing that candy will be on sale after Valentine's Day is over

Trying to be happy for your friend that has a date even though you don't have one

Thinking about all of the cute things you'd do with your partner if you were in a relationship on V-Day


Realizing that Valentine's Day is a silly holiday and you shouldn't care about whether or not you're single because being in a relationship doesn't define who you are because you're awesome

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
