So Valentine's Day is approaching rapidly.

I love February because it's my birthday month, but I am a little concerned with this being my first Valentine's Day single in over two years. All of my roommates have significant others and I am already having FOMO with the idea of them all having extravagant Valentine's Day plans.

It's hard knowing that I will be sitting at home alone watching a romantic comedy and eating an entire box of chocolate. But, I've decided that this Valentine's Day I am going to spend the day loving myself. Here's my list of things to do if you're single this Valentine's Day.

1. Movie marathon

Break out the romantic comedies with your favorite attractive actor. Enjoy some time to yourself as you stay in bed, grab some snacks and watch some movies.

2. Plan a Galentine's Day

Nothing's better than getting your friends together and planning a day of fun with each other.

3. Spa Day

Get your nails done, get a haircut or if you're like me and balling on a budget grab your own nail polish, pick up a face mask and treat yourself.

4. Go shopping for yourself

Since you don't have to buy anyone else a present, why not spend that money on yourself?

5. Explore Tinder

If you're feeling extra lonely or bored there's no better place to find other lonely and bored singles.

6. Gather your single friends and go do couple-like things

7. Relax and unplug

Hopefully that might help anyone who's feeling down in the dumps about being single on Valentine's day, but embrace it! You can still have fun loving yourself this Valentine's day surrounded by people you care about.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
