How To Deal With Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day, or should I say, Happy Singles Awareness Day.

How To Deal With Valentine's Day

Here it comes again. February is the month of the year when everybody only cares about Valentine's Day. Well, except for you. If you're single, you don't have any dates or you just simply enjoy being alone, here is something you can do to spend Valentine's Day on your own.

1. Treat yourself by going to a fine-dining restaurant and ordering the most expensive dish.

Who needs a girlfriend/boyfriend to take you there. You can go by yourself anyway.

2. Surprise yourself with a gift.

Jealous of all the gifts that couple give each other? Don't be. You can buy whatever you want with your own money and still be happy. Get yourself a nice dress, a pair of new shoes, or a designer handbag. Love, love fades away, but things, things are forever.

3. Invite your friends over your house.

Make some popcorn, turn on Netflix, and have good time together. There are a bunch of things you can do with them: play video games, have a beauty makeover, or just simply sit there and make fun of the cheesy couples on social media. It is the cheapest and a fun way to spend Valentine's day.

4. Or you can ... You know what I mean.


If anybody asks what is your plan for Valentine's day, just confidently answer them. There is nothing wrong with being alone.

Don't feel bad for yourself for spending Valentine's day alone. In fact, you still have your family and your friends. Ignore all the couples' posts all over Instagram. It's none of your business and you don't have to care anyway. Don't make yourself look pathetic by crying and whining on social media.

After all, it's just another ordinary Sunday. There is no need to feel bad or compare yourself to others. Love comes and goes all the time, and maybe it's not your time yet. The important thing is to love yourself and become a better person.

HAPPY SINGLES AWARENESS DAY!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
