How to survive the most sickening day for a single person...

Single This Valentine's Day?
InvestorPlace

So, your boy/girlfriend has just ended things, or maybe you were the one doing the dumping. Chef don't judge! I know for me this year, it is going to be weird because it is the first time in a while that I have been single for Valentine's Day. Who says though that we aren't allowed to have fun too this romantic holiday? I sure as hell know I am!

1. Treat Yoself!

Get yourself that new handbag you have been dreaming about, maybe go get a nice dinner or even a massage or mani/pedi. What ever floats your goat, just you do you.

Don't break the bank though, girlfriend! You still need that gas money. So be smart but, hey, that tax money can really come in handy today. Just sayin'...

2. Go Clubbin'!

Go ham in the paint. Act like no one's watching. Who cares? Today is for YOU, not them. I get that it's "supposed to be a time all about love," but that's not what this day is for you.

Go out, live your life like there's no tomorrow and enjoy it! Don't let a petty little break up bring ya down!

3. SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS! EVERYBODY!

Sometimes drowning your sorrows is a good thing. Get a good strong one or two to mellow you out. Hey, even combine this one with the last point. Who says that you can't have fun while drinking? Live it up! It always helps me out when I wanna party!

Just be careful, drink safely, and be nice to yourself in the morning. Maybe lie out a couple of Tylenol and a water if you plan on doing this. (Since it's on a Tuesday, maybe plan for the next day or two off.)

4. Your Homies

Get together with a couple of your other single friends. Who says you have to be alone on Valentine's Day? Maybe y'all can make fun of romantic movies together. Have an anti-Valentine's party.

Just chill, relax, and enjoy the company of each other.

5. Frankie says 'Relax.'

Netflix and chill with yourself. Curl up, pop open that tub of Ben & Jerry's, and let the ultimate movie or show marathon begin! Nothing's wrong with a little R&R. I know this is what I will be doing that day. (Taking 18 credit hours, working and losing this weight takes a toll on a woman!) Now you don't have to do what your significant other wants to (since you don't have one), and you get to find yourself a little.

I hope you all got some amazing tips from this article! I think I just inspired myself a little to test a couple out. If you liked this article, don't forget to share it with others! I hope you all have a safe and wonderful week, and I'll see you in the next one.

Peace out, Girl Scout!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
