An Ode to the Single Valentine

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Wisconsin chapter.

Are you living in a cynical, single society? Trying to reframe from Tindering your way to a Valentine? Still struggling with the memory of last year’s horrid V-Day date? Then this article is for you! Enjoy reading, taking time to recognize that your bitterness is completely justified.

 

Valentine’s Day is a time for love…ing your couch and blankies.

Sorry, let’s start again.

Valentine’s Day is a time for happiness… with Julia Roberts movies and a box of tissues.

Is it really so bad to want the fairytale love? A prince charming? A Flynn Rider? JUST SWEEP ME OFF MY FEET ALREADY!

Moving on.

Valentine’s Day is a time for celebration… alone, in your tub, with some bubbles and a glass, er, bottle of wine.

And all this alone time puts your thoughts on the dream man.

The smirk.

Those eyes.

… Enough of this! You are a beautiful, independent woman! Go get some chocolate.

In fact, 90% of the female population is so pumped for Valentine’s Day, solely for the half-priced candy on February 15th.

In all seriousness, every gal—bitter or not—just wants a hottie.

So when you eventually come back from your chocolate-binge and see your fav Campus Cutie standing outside your door with a box of chocolates, you can’t help but swoon.

And hope that box of sweets actually contains something sweeter—an engagement ring.
