How To Slay V-Day When You're Single

Ladies and Gents,

If you're like me you might be finding yourself spending yet another Valentine's Day alone. However, DON'T WORRY. We're young, we're hot, we're fun, and someday some loser is finally going to realize it! So, instead of sulking, watching "The Notebook" and crying into a bowl of ice cream about how you'll never find love - change the 'tude and learn how to SLAY YOUR DAY.

Step 1: Wake up and tell yourself you're a boss @$$ b*tch that don't need no man (or woman).

Today's your day. Screw the couples, the crushes, and the supposed "in love"... you're going to ROCK IT.

Step 2: Get a killer workout done early in the morning.

Nothing makes me feel like I could take on the world more than when I have a really great workout. Start your day off positive.

Step 3: Dress up for yourself.

Whether you want to rock some tight leather pants or you just want to go out in yoga pants and a tee; wear what makes YOU feel confident. Do your hair, makeup, and whatever else for yourself. No one else.

Step 4: Call up your friends and do something adventurous.

Call up your other single friends and plan something awesome for the day. Go shopping, go to dinner, go on a mini road trip, go egg your ex's house... do something crazy! No one should spend the day alone.

Step 5: DO NOT contact any past flings/hook ups/exes.

Under no circumstance should you be sending that "hey what are you up to today?" text. I don't care if all your friends are busy, do not revert back to your past simply because you're lonely.

Step 6: If your friends are all busy do something you love.

Read a book, spend time writing, paint a picture, try something new. This is your day. Rekindle your love with one of your favorite hobbies or fall in love with something you've never had the chance to try before.

Step 7: Send love someone else's way.

It might be as simple as smiling and saying hello to a stranger, calling up a family member you haven't talked to in awhile, hugging a good friend, or paying for someone's Starbucks. You never know what little acts of kindness can make a difference. Be the good in someone's day.

Step 8: Cook a bomb dinner.

Again, whether it's for your or a group of friends take the time to cook your favorite meal. You could even make it fun and let everyone bring a dish of their own — who doesn't love an overabundant amount of food?!

Step 9: Go out and dance your butt off.

Go out for a few drinks with your friends and dance the night away. Sing at the top of your lungs because who do you have no impress? Answer: No one but yourself.

Step 10: Do it all again soon.

Just like Valentine's day shouldn't be the only day couples treat each other to something special, it shouldn't be the only day you treat yourself! Use this as a day to turn over a new leaf and fall in love with yourself. Make it a point to take time out of each month to do what you love and enjoy the little things.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

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.
