What to do if you don't have a Valentine on Valentine's Day

Valentine’s Day is a day of love and happiness—for those who have a reason to celebrate it. If you happen to be one of the many women in this world who does not have a Valentine in their life, here are some ways to celebrate this holiday, without a special someone:

WHAT TO DO WITH FRIENDS:

• have a romantic movie marathon and hate on it as a group
• get dressed up really nice and go to a fancy dinner
• have a spa day
• forget “Valentine’s Day”, it’s “GALentine’s Day”
• have a regular girls’ night in (or out, depending on your situation)
• have a chocolate fondue party

WHAT TO DO IF YOU DON’T HAVE ANY FRIENDS:

• wrap yourself in a cocoon of blankets and watch Netflix as you put yourself into a candy coma
• buy yourself CandyGrams at school and sign them from “Your Secret Admirer” and act super surprised when they are delivered to you
• tell everyone you have plans with your Valentine, but really go home and eat all the chocolate you want because YOU ARE AWESOME
• veg out
• treat yourself to mental health day away from society because you’re an unsocial introvert and you don’t need anyone to make you happy
• blast music throughout the house and dance like you’re at a rave
• draw, paint, CREATE
• read, read, read, you can never go wrong with reading a book you love
• revel in your singleness

WHAT TO DO NO MATTER WHAT (even if it’s not Valentine’s Day):

• celebrate love itself
• laugh at everything, just because
• pamper yourself in self-love
• be happy with yourself
• stay healthy
• DON’T WORRY because it will all be okay in the end (and if it’s not okay, it’s not the end)
