How to Survive Valentine's Day Single

A 10 step guide to getting through Lover's Day, without a lover

How to Survive Valentine's Day Single
The Odyssey

February 14th is a dangerous day. Whispers of dinner plans at fancy restaurants. Heart shaped boxes of chocolate. Bouquets of flowers. Marriage proposals. It's a cruel world for the relationshipless population. But rest assured, I have composed a simple 10 step plan to get all my fellow single ladies through Valentine's Day in one piece- more or less.

1. Stay in your pajamas all day

No boyfriend? No one to impress. An oversized sweatshirt and fuzzy socks feel better than cuddling anyway.

2. Cook yourself a killer breakfast

You would make a bombass wife, but oh well, his loss.

3. Put your phone someplace out of reach

If you can't see all the gushy Instagrams, Tweets, and Snapchats it's easier to pretend everyone else is just as miserable single as you.

4. Hit the gym

Maybe the key to love is not having love handles??

5. Order in your favorite takeout

Chances are the delivery guy is single too...this could lead something...

6. Watch a Rom-Com

The Proposal, 10 Things I Hate About You, When Harry Met Sally, and anything Nicholas Sparks

7. Pour yourself a glass of wine

Pro of being single: you get the drink the whole bottle yourself

8. Eat a ton of ice cream

It fills a void no boy could ever reach

9. Cry a bit

But don't get your tears in the wine, you don't want to dilute it

10. Fall asleep enjoying the fact that you don't have to share the bed

Who's the real winner here?


If you closely follow these 10 steps, I can almost guarantee that you will make it through Valentine's Day alive.

*** Results may vary. These steps do not guarantee any relationship in the foreseeable future.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
