In honor of Valentine's Day, I'm going to share a few tips on how to survive the day as a single person. Whether you love love, hate the reminder of your singleness, or are just apathetic about it all, hopefully you can find something to improve your day.
1. Throw a Party!
Go out to dinner. Have a movie night. Go bowling. Host a game night. Whatever you do, invite all your single friends and have a grand time!
2. Have a Night In
If partying isn't your thing, or you have no friends, treat yourself! Order take-out, cozy-up in a blanket, and have a Netflix marathon. Buy those shoes you've been eyeing online. Finish a craft project. Cuddle with your pint of Ben & Jerry's. Take the night to focus on YOU.
3. Serve Others
Even if you don't have a valentine, you can help someone else who does! Take your co-worker's shift at work so he can take his girlfriend to dinner. Help your best friend make cookies for her husband. Or you can make cookies and give them as valentines to your friends and neighbors. Buy flowers and hand them out to random people. Strive to make someone else's day a little bit brighter!
4. Improve Yourself
Begin a new hobby. Read a book. Tackle a challenging recipe. Do something that makes you better than you were yesterday. If you dislike being single on Valentine's Day, set goals on how you plan on changing your relationship status for next year. Maybe you will talk to that cute boy in class. Or take a country swing-dancing class. Or find the positive things in life. Others are drawn to happy, ambitious people. Focus on improving yourself and have fun along the way.
Whether you're spending the night in or out, with friends or by yourself, enjoy it! Don't let others' happiness make you miserable. By doing more of what you enjoy, happiness will follow.
