Happy Valentine’s Day!

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

Let’s face it, for us single girls, when February 14th finally rolls around, the only thing to look forward to is an excuse to eat copious amounts of chocolate. The flowers mock us, the candy screams our name, and the lovey-dovey posts on Facebook drive us nuts.

Well this year, a few of the Her Campus Appalachian State girls decided to not let it get the best of us! Would we drown our sorrows in sugar? No! Would we watch The Notebook over and over? No! Would we dress to impress and treat ourselves to a fancy dinner? You bet!

So last night we threw on something cutesy and headed to Crave for a dinner just us girls! Their tapas bar menu and yummy drinks were a perfect way to spend the evening. From stuffed mushrooms and baked brie to crab cake sliders and grilled Mahi, there wasn’t a single thing on the menu that didn’t sound appealing. Not to mention the complimentary raspberry chocolate truffles that came with our check!

We laughed, gossiped, and dined in style, celebrating Valentine’s Day without a guy in sight! Being single on Valentines Day doesn’t have to be a bad thing! Use it as an excuse to treat yourself to the best. After all, who knows you better than you?

We want to know what YOU did for Valentines Day! Post a picture of your Valentine’s Day festivities to our Facebook page and your picture could be chosen for our photoblog! Make sure you include your name and a caption about all of the fun you had! HCxo.
