It’s that time of the year again when companies produce an insane amount of heart-shaped products and you are reminded that you are alone. It is normal to feel a little blue when you are single on this red and pink holiday, but there are many reasons to celebrate that you are single. In case you can’t think of any on your own, here are 20 reasons why it’s completely ok to be single on Feb. 14th:
1. You don’t have to wake up early to make breakfast for anyone…
2. Or worry for weeks about how to make the most of this day.
3. You can be your own person instead of being “Matt’s girlfriend”.
4. Your bank account balance won’t decrease significantly since you’re not spending an insane amount of money on presents!
5. AND you don’t even have to look for a present!
6. You don’t have to pretend to like the necklace your (nonexistent) SO gave you.
7. You can go to CVS and buy chocolate for yourself and there’s no need to share it with anyone!
8. You can go on a guy hunt at a party without feeling guilty!“Is that John from Math 101?”
9. Speaking of guys, you can send flirty texts to Luke from English without being ashamed.
10. Feel free to kiss anyone you want, no one can judge you …
11. … Well, except for your mom
12. No need to stress about PMSing or getting a surprise from Mother Nature on this holiday.
13. No need to shave either!
14. You are free to ugly cry while watching The Notebook or any other Nicholas Sparks movie without worrying what your SO might think.
15. I mean, Noah wrote Allie 365 letters but you don’t need to worry about receiving an annoying Valentine’s text or a cheesy present in the mail.
16. You can get Domino’s garlic knots without worrying your breath might stink.
17. Ordering cheese fries beats having a cuddle buddy any day.
18. You can wear sweatpants and a hoodie … or no pants for that matter, while your friends are freezing wearing a cute dress and six inch stilettos.
19. But if you do decide to go out, you won’t have a SO rushing you!
20. At the end of the day, you know you don’t need anyone to make you happy! (Well, maybe the delivery guy).
Don’t worry collegiettes, you are amazing and you can enjoy Valentine’s Day by yourself. All you need to do is #LoveYourself!
