Valentine’s Day isn’t a happy occasion for all. For those with a significant other, it is a day dedicated to cheesy ways of reminding each other how much you love each other. This holiday can be your favorite one year, while also turning into your worst nightmare the next.

Sometimes this holiday is forgotten, and you’ll never be forgiven. But other times, when its remembered, it’s often taken way too far. Just like every great holiday, it starts with a list!

And next year, you get to do it all over again. This time, even bigger and better than before.

But just remember, to all those alone this Valentine’s Day, February 15th is just one day away!
