Oh, the joyous holiday has returned. Roses, balloons, and the whole hoopla of the day has all the single people wanting to hide in a cave for 24 hours. It doesn't have to be such a bad thing though, in fact Valentine's day can be a pretty awesome time to just be happy with yourself. To kick back and enjoy all the chocolate you want.

Here are some of the advantages to being single on this holiday:

Heart Shaped Pizza

Instead of finer dining, you can dine on one of the finer things in life… in your sweatpants….in heart shaped form… sounds like a no brainer to me.

No Gifts

Not only do you not have to spend any money (bless), but you also don’t have to act surprised at any of the gifts you get. I’m not alone when I say that valentine’s day gifts are so cliché it hurts. Stuffed animals, flowers, chocolate, and jewelry for the more serious relationships. All good things, but not a shocker when you get you get any of the above.

Half priced chocolate…EVERYWHERE

The best day of the year for all my chocolate lovers is February 15th. All those red and pink aisles you had to pass by for 2 months is finally up for grabs.

Enjoying all the E-Card Humor Cards

These come around every year, and get better with time. If you haven't spent hours laughing at these hilarious cards then you totally should.

Chick-flick galore

All the best of the hallmark movies are on repeat, what a time to be alive!! Grab your tissues, Ben and Jerry’s, and wrap up in a fuzzy blanket to binge watch as many sappy romances as your heart desires.

Single friends Unite

All your friends who don’t have that significant other are probably feeling the same as you about this holiday, so why not gang up and have a fun night together? V-day is about love, doesn’t mean it must be romantic. Spend time with your besties and show them how you appreciate their friendship.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

16 Secrets Anthropology Majors Never Admit To

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Being a music major is not all kicks and giggles. In fact, there are days when I question my sanity and doubt myself as a musician. I know I am not the only one going through the struggle, and so here are 13 GIFs that I know my fellow music majors can relate to...
