Single Girl’s Guide to Valentine’s Day

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

Try to stay off all social media sites and avoid the outside world as much as possible as not to see PDA, pink hearts everywhere, and happiness in general

Now it’s time to start drinking, and remember it’s not “Valentine’s Day”, it’s the start of the three day weekend, thank you Presidents Day!
