Valentine's Day: Singles Edition

Single people can have fun too!

Valentine's Day: Singles Edition
Warner Bros

The most glorified of couple's holidays is upon us! Yay. It’s not enough to be alone on Christmas and Thanksgiving and even one’s 21st birthday, but there’s something about February 14th that just hits home anytime singles are surrounded by coupley coulpes being all coupley. If you think about it, really, singles around the world have 365 days (366 on leap years) dedicated to their relationship status. We might as well have something for the couples, right?

Yeah... you're right.


Well, for those looking for something to do other than anti-Valentine’s Day parties, let me help you out! So put down that pinata and bottle of wine (actually no - hold on to that one) because I got some fun ideas you can try with your other awesome single friends!

  1. Put on the movie Valentine’s Day. Take a drink every time any couple kisses, hold hands, or makes a mushy comment to their significant other. It gets less painful once you’ve had a few sips.

1. Can’t go wrong with karaoke! Dress up as celebrity couples and sing a love song badly. Be sure to record it though! I’m sure you’ll get tons of likes on social media.

2. Photo shoot! Valentine’s theme optional. Fun with friends mandatory. Not only will you have a way to distract yourself, but you’ll have plenty more photos to post to Insta once the day is over! Score!

3. Download the Groupon app. Grab one of your other single friends and book a couples massage! It’s cheap, plus you get wine and chocolate. And you don’t have to look cute for anyone. It’s something you’ll both enjoy!

4. Who needs a significant other when you have a platter of celebrities to fawn over? Pick your top 3, print out pictures of their face, and stick them on human cardboard cutouts. Grab your camera and your bestie and have the most fun night pretending to date your celebrity crushes. Don’t do this alone though. That’s just creepy.

5. Nothing says badass girl power like a day at the shooting range. Not a fan of guns? I recommend paintball and/or laser tag. You’ll feel like a badass and it’s fun shooting people (so to speak).

6. Need extra closet space? Have a closet-cleaning party and shop in each other’s closets! Free clothes galore!

7. When was the last time you played a fun video game? Dust off the old game console and rock on with some Guitar Hero or Just Dance! Or simply take a stroll on over to Dave & Buster’s. They’ve got all the games you can imagine. Plus alcohol.

8. Put on your favorite cocktail dress and hit the town. There’s bound to be tons of happy hours going on Valentine’s Night. No one says you have to stay home. So go out and have fun! Show those relationship-goers how much fun it is to be single and ready to mingle.

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
