It's that time of year! Valentines Day. It's a time where lovers show their beautiful devotion to one another with the help of symbolic gifts like chocolate or flowers. It's also the time where overly dramatic single people bitch about their hopeless love lives to one another. How special! Damn, people just love to get depressed over this holiday even if they set unrealistic expectations for themselves. Wow now I'm just being an asshole. Allow me to move on.

Despite the depression of so many single people this time of the year, this holiday actually has so much too offer. There are many things single people can do during this time of year to have fun! Here's a list of a few awesome things that you can do!

1) Have a Thanksgiving style feast with your friends.

There's nothing like a home cooked feast. Having one with a bunch of close friends can really make Valentines Day feel like an awesome holiday, even if you can't necessarily celebrate it the way you want. And if you're bad at cooking, you can always go out to a restaurant or any kind of big group date.

2) Go into you local Wal-Mart and find a big ass stuffed animal. Get a friend to take a picture of you hugging the enormous stuffed animal. Put it on Instagram and wittingly caption the picture, "Me with my boyfriend/girlfriend!" and rake in the likes from your basic Instagram followers.

Everyone loves a classic witty Instagram post! You love social media attention as well. So why not go into a store and playfully post the exact picture I just described. It'll be oodles of fun!

3) Get free wings at Hooters.

The semi-degrading restaurant Hooters is doing a wonderful promotion this February 14th. All you have to do is bring in a picture of your ex and have them shred it, then you get 10 free wings. This is spectacular! However, you do need to buy 10 wings first, so I guess they're really only half off. Sorry, I guess we can't get everything we want.

4) February 15th, DISCOUNTED VALENTINES DAY CANDY AT STORES.

February 15th is low key the sickest day of the year! In most stores, you can buy all kinds of Valentines Day candy, which is just normal candy decorated differently, for a discounted price! You can also really score some crazy bulk deals this way. I once purchased a 24 pack of fun dip intended for elementary aged kids to give to their classmates. Guess how much it costed me? Only two dollars! What a world.

5) Turn up.

Valentines Day is the perfect excuse to get drunk on a weeknight. So grab a couple of friends and do what you do best; get wasted! Many bars and restaurants probably have drink deals on this special day anyway. And if you don't feel like going out, you can always party at home. See, Valentines Day is more than a reason to be sad. It's a wonderful holiday that everyone can enjoy if they try!
