Ladies and Gentlemen it is that time of year! The moment when all your friends who are happily in relationships gush over the gifts, flowers, and romantic ideas their significant others are planning for Valentine’s Day. While for those in love this is the time to reflect on the romantic side of the relationship, for singles it can be a harrowing, down-right depressing week (yes I said week).

However, have no fear! As a single lady, myself, I have compiled a list for those dreading the “next morning with my coworker who tells me all about his/her amazing evening” conversation.

Here are five things you should plan to do on Valentine's Day to keep your mind off the ooey-gooey relationships around you.

PS: this list is so good, your friends in relationships will be jealous.

1. Visit an Animal Shelter

No matter how unloved you feel by humans, you can't feel that way about cute, adorable puppies and kittens. They can brighten anyone's mood. Find a local shelter and just spend your morning gathering up the love and affection from the little fur-balls.

2. Movie Marathon Your Celebrity Crush

Let's face it. Our true love will always be the characters our celebrity crush plays. So why not spend the afternoon catching up on Heath Ledger singing in "10 Things I Hate About You" or Leonardo DiCaprio keeping Rose from jumping in "Titanic"? You know you want to.

3. Have A Girl's Night Out

While this may be an option not many of us have (since all our friends our in happy relationships), some of you may have another friend who is single. Well if that's the case, pair up and have some fun! Treat yourselves to a nice meal, or go see a movie together. Whatever it may be, at least if you guys run into any romance along the way, you have each other to remember that being single rocks!

4. Laugh It Up

One of the best remedies for loneliness or sorrow is to laugh! So grab your blanket, junk food, and favorite cuddle companion (stuffed animal, pillow, etc) and get ready to binge YouTube for some comedy. My favorite site to watch from is Bad Lip Readings.

5. Binge Watch Grey's Anatomy

If all else fails, binge watch Shonda Rhimes' creative invention--Grey's Anatomy. Trust me. These relationships are so intertwined and messed up, you will be thankful for being single.
