8 Reminders That Valentine's Day Does Not Have To SUCK If You Are Still Single

Maggie Ball

It's almost Valentine's Day- either the best, or worst holiday of the year, totally depending on your relationship status. Valentine's Day.

A day that's origin came from St. Valentine of Terani, but is now a day that can be filled with love from your significant other, or a day that can be filled with ice cream and Netflix alone in your bed. But hey, February 14th doesn't have to be all bad if you are single.

In fact, there are ~a few~ reasons the day of love is 100x better when you are single (and ready to mingle.)

1. Discount chocolate

And who doesn't love chocolate? No one. The answer is no one.

2. An excuse to treat yourself

Whether it's a new Pandora ring, a new pair of Nike's, a puppy, or just more candy, Valentine's day is the perfect reason to buy yourself something special. It doesn't even have to be expensive.

3. You don’t have to stress about nonsense.

There’s always the fear that your SO won’t like your gift. Then there’s always that fear that the date isn’t planned well enough. And the fear that everything can just suddenly turn to sh*t.

4. Rom-com's on TV

Valentine's day ALWAYS calls for your favorite movies to play all day long. Netflix is another good option too.

5. Staying in bed all day

Or you can just hide out and forget this day exists. No one will ever have to know.

6. There's no one to impress

Save that new dress for a girls night out instead. Today is the day to stay in your pj’s.

7. Going out to find yourself a new man

The bars will be FILLED with single people tonight. Maybe Valentine's day won't be so lonely after all.

8. Hanging with your girls instead

This is definitely the best way to spend your Valentine's day. Cheap wine, your besties, and/or the new 50 Shades Freed movie sounds like the best idea yet. Oh and pizza. And ice cream. Did I already mention wine?

I’m praying you’re all fully convinced that this special day can be special regardless of your relationship status, even if it is your first real Valentine’s alone. Shout out to all my fellow single ladies, let this Valentine's day be the best one yet!

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:

These are traits you know to be true if you are a Libra:

5. Then you just end up going on your phone.

6. When you're two weeks away from finals and your professor tells you that you should probably start studying now:

7. When you sit down to take your final and the first question hits you like:

8. When you start the practice problems and you're just like:

9. When you're in your final and find a question that you actually know the answer to:

10. When that one annoying kid in your class says that the final was super easy and they aced it:

11. When you come back from your 7:30 a.m. final and crash:

12. When your professor tries to teach you new material a week before the final:

13. When you decide to eat away the pain that is finals week by ordering massive amounts of food:

14. Filling out course evaluations for that one difficult professor like:

15. When it's right before your first final and you're just like:

16. When your professor tells that you the final is cumulative:

17. When the kid next to you keeps looking over at your test:

18. Looking back on the outfits that you wore during finals week like:

19. When it's been two hours and you've only gotten through five notecards:

20. When you finally make it to the end of the week:
