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

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
