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

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
