The flowers, chocolates, and cute little bears fill the stores. It's that time of year, where Valentine's Day is upon us and if you're like me, in the single population, you might find this day the most extra and annoying holiday of the year.

Personally, I love Valentine's day, and I have never been in a relationship during the holiday. Being single should not stop you from enjoying this holiday, even if it's a little extra.

Here are five things to do when your single on Valentine's Day:

1. Have a movie night with friends.

Celebrate Singleness Awareness day with others who are in the same boat as you! It doesn't have to be a cheesy chick flick (although those are great options). Pick one or a few movies, invite some friends, pig out on some delicious snacks and make it a Valentine's Day to remember!

2. Make Valentine's for Veterans.

Many have lost loved ones, and spend this holiday alone. Our Veterans have and continue to sacrifice so much for our country. I remember in school, we would always make Valentine's for the Veterans. Even if they are a little late, sending a heartfelt card or thoughtful note to one, could make this holiday brighter for them.

3. Get the courage to reach out to that one person.

Alright, this one might seem a little out there, but hey there's no better day than a day that is filled with commercialized romance. Maybe there's a special someone you've had your eye on for a while, but haven't had the courage to talk to them, well now's your chance. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, I mean let's be real, all the restaurants will be booked anyways. Maybe it's hanging out and watching a movie or getting coffee or ice cream. Take a chance this holiday, and maybe you'll be spending it a little differently next year ;)

4. Love on others.

This is a way we should live every day, and Valentine's Day is a perfect reminder of that. The entirety of this holiday is built on love, so what better way to spend the holiday than to go out of your way to love and serve others. Whether that be passing out cute valentines to friends, calling someone who might be a little extra lonely today, or bringing someone a sweet treat, there are so many things you can do, to show someone you care.

5. Treat yo self.

I am a strong believer that in order to truly be able to love someone else, you have to fall in love with yourself first. What better way, to love yourself than treat yourself?! Order your favorite takeout, binge watch your favorite show, or let yourself spend time doing the hobby you never have enough time for. The options are endless!

Don't let this Valentine's Day be a dwelling Single Awareness day. Take these 5 ideas and put them to use and make this V-Day, the best one yet.

XOXO.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
