7 Reasons Why Valentine's Day absolutely SUCKS

There are many reasons why nearly everyone loves Valentine's Day. All of the happy couples are out there loving each other... and then there are those of us who are single. There are so many different reasons why we hate the day of love, but Paxton and I didn't want to over do it, so we came up with our top seven.

1. No one out there will get you chocolate. The best part of Valentine's Day is the chocolate that comes with it, but you're single - no chocolates will be secretly placed in some romantic area of your house. Even if you do get something on Valentine's Day, it's most likely going to be from your dad in an attempt to make you feel better...
2. It's bad enough to be single on any other day, but on Valentine's Day, we are reminded about how single we really are - constantly. Let's face it: Valentine's Day may be a day of love for the other couples, but it only makes you "celebrate" how forever alone you are.
3. Keeping the previous in mind, when thinking about how alone they are, most people would go out and get ice cream to cheer them up... but if you try that, after you finish one pint of ice cream, you have to go out and buy more, and more, and more. After eating so much ice cream, you start to evaluate yourself and the bad decisions you've made. Realizing how many calories you have gained, you have to go to the gym. NO ONE wants to go to the gym.
4. If you do decide to go to the gym anyway, you have to leave your house. Once you leave your house, you see that EVERYONE but you is in love. It's so awkward. You just kind of... sit there, and you see everyone holding hands, kissing, and hugging, all while you just think, Well, crap. I'm all alone again. Seeing all those happy loving people just makes you a little bit more sad.
5. The Notebook makes you even sadder than normal. Instead of doing something productive, you spend the day wasting your time crying over romantic movies. To make things worse, you get tears in your ice cream, but you still eat it anyway.
6. When chocolates do show up, you'll get extremely excited and think there's someone out there that has been crushing on you, but let's face it: you're you. Is someone really crushing on you? Probably not. You open the card, only to find that they are from your dad, and there was absolutely no reason to get all excited about the chocolates.
7. The worst thing about Valentine's Day is the fact that it makes you feel so lonely that nothing else seems to matter. Valentine's Day crushes our single hearts year after year, so have fun eating your dad's chocolates, crying into a pint of ice cream and watching Nicholas Sparks movies.
