Why Being Single on V-Day Is Just as Good

I'll admit that being dateless on Valentines day is kinda depressing, BUT I guarantee that at least half of your girls are right with you. Instead of waiting around for the guy you sorta went on a date with last semester to text you, focus on making plans with your best friends at the local bar, or a night in watching multiple reruns of The Real Housewives or Sex and the City with a box of wine. Oh and please don't think its a good idea to wast away your sorrows consuming a whole box of Fannie May chocolates by yourself...it's not worth the calories. Also don't go chasing down a guy who you know is completely disinterested in you.

There are so many great things about being single.  First, you can go out and give the hot bartender your number without worrying. Second, you don't have to spend a dime on a significant other...spend that cash on a mani pedi and a round of drinks for your friends. Third, you can get ready for hours in the bathroom and not have to worry about being judged or yelled at for being late-- he doesn't understand your clay face mask needs at least 30 minutes to set in. Lastly, you can learn to love yourself and not to rely on anyone else for your personal happiness.

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
