Listen I get it. Valentine’s Day sucks. This is no typical weekend – everyone puts extra pressure on this day. Pressure to plan something romantic, pressure to find a date or even the pressure to be happy while you’re single. I’m here to tell you that this holiday doesn’t have to be as much of a letdown as you think.
Make Valentine’s Day about you!
You have been working hard so far this semester you deserve some R & R- go out to dinner with some friends or buy something nice for yourself. The whole point is to show yourself some appreciation and enjoy yourself. Give out some self love: it’s free! You don’t need a SO (significant other) to have fun on this day!
Go and see Fifty Shades of Grey
I’m sure most of you are already planning on going but if not then grab a few girlfriends and head to the movie theater! This movie has been hyped over the past year or so and I am excited to see it. Check out what all the fuss is about and see this steamy movie. Even if you’re not into it you always go for some laughs.
All-Star Weekend
If you’re into basketball then you just got lucky! All-Star weekend falls on the same weekend as V Day. If you’re not into sports, All-Star weekend is a festival held by the NBA which hosts games and contests to showcase the newest and most talented players in the league. On Friday there is a celebrity game with Kevin Hart, Ansel Elgort and Nick Cannon among the celebrities on ESPN at 7 pm. The weekend concludes with the All-Star Game at 8:30 pm on TNT.
Movie Night
No matter what day a movie marathon is good time. Make the most of Valentine’s Day and check out Netflix for these movies for a great day with friends or by yourself! There’s a little something for everyone so have fun and enjoy!
