Who Needs A Boyfriend To Have A Good Valentine's Day?
bustle.com

Do not fret if you are single this Valentine's Day! You should not feel lonely! If you do not have a date this Valentine's Day it is not the end of the world. I have 15 alternatives you can do! Here is advice from a professional (I have a 19-year-long streak. I know what I am talking about.) on how to spend your Valentine's Day single and happy.

1. Buy a heart-shaped pizza

Eat all of it and do not feel ashamed about it. Those pizzas are pretty big so you are pretty talented if you eat all of it.

2. Buy yourself a Valentine's Day gift

Let's be honest: You know for sure what you will like and won't mess up what you get yourself.

3. Netflix and Indulge

If you aren't in love you can live through the characters of your favorite TV shows!

4. Get a pet

Your significant other will make you mad time and time again but if you get a pet the only thing they will do to make you mad is pee on the floor.

5. Hang out with your single friends

Do something with your other friends that are single! Whether that means going to a movie or staying in, spend it with them! Valentine's Day is not just about being with a significant other, it is about being with those you love.

6. Wine

Pour yourself a glass (bottle) of wine! Wine will never disappoint you. I promise.

7. Daydream about your celebrity crush

Stop lying to yourself. The reason why you are still single is because you are waiting for your celebrity crush to realize he is actually in love with you.

8. Text all of your exes and tell them you miss them... except not really

If you think about doing this just laugh because you remember you're not together for a reason. The reason is because he sucks.

9. Shred your ex

Go to Hooters and bring a picture of your ex. After you buy 10 wings and shred the picture you get 10 wings for free. The best part about this is that the paper is not wasted. It is donated to local animal shelters for the animals! This will probably be the best thing your ex ever did for you.

10. Buy a large stuffed animal

You will always have someone to cuddle with at night and the best part is they don't snore.

11. Ship your enemies glitter

Do you really want revenge on an ex? Well the perfect way to do that is to send them a glitter bomb. It's not harmful but they will never see the end of glitter in their room.

12. Treat yourself

Buy a new outfit. Get your nails and hair done. Remember that you're too hot to just settle for any guy.

13. Valentine's Day drinking game

Every time you see a couple post about each other about how grateful they are to have each other or about the gifts they got each other, take a shot. About an hour into this game, you'll forget that it is even Valentine's Day.

14. Laugh

Laugh at yourself if you even thought for a minute about being sad that you do not have someone to spend Valentine's Day with. This holiday is only 24 hours. The other 364 days of the year you couldn't give two shits about being single. Why feel upset about it on this one day?

15. Look forward to February 15

Do not look forward to this day because the holiday of love is over. Look forward to this day because all of the stores will have half-priced Valentine's Day candy. Nothing can be better than this bargain!


If you do any of these alternatives to Valentine's Day I can assure you that you may have a better Valentine's Day than half of the couples celebrating. Embrace the single life. I promise you will survive this Valentine's Day.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
