You wake up to the annoying sound of your alarm clock blaring, and realize that the dreaded day has finally come

You check Facebook, only to find that your timeline has been plagued with red heart emojis and an infuriating increase in the use of the word ‘bae’

In the hopes of avoiding possible social media-induced nausea, you decide to avoid the internet for the day. How about some shopping to clear your head?

Nope. Posters claiming to have the perfect last-minute gift for that ‘special someone’ cover every storefront window…

So you soon decide to head home, curl up in your sweatpants and binge watch The Bachelor while drinking wine

After binge watching a few episodes, you realize that you couldn’t care less about which desperate woman is chosen by the bland bachelor

You look at your dog sitting next to you on the couch and seriously consider making a reservation at Waffle House for the two of you

You call Waffle House, but the waitress claims that bringing your dog would “violate health code” and “just be kind of weird” (because obviously she just doesn’t understand true love) and after a few minutes of arguing why pups are better than males… she hangs up

You get a snapchat from your best friend; she’s by herself, too. You realize that you’re not the only one going through this.

So you text your close friends telling them to come to your place (well, you text your close single friends… don’t text your friends in relationships, you don’t need that kind of negativity in your life — and by ‘negativity’ i mean sickeningly-sweet love)

You realize that as long as you have your amazing friends by your side, maybe this day isn’t so bad after all
