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

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.
