It’s almost that time of year again, the most cliche, commercial “holiday.” Valentine's day. If you’re like me, you don’t have a date or someone to share this “special” day with, fear not I’m here to fix that. You can be alone and still have fun, by doing these 3 simple things
1. Spending time with your friends
Friends are better to have than a boyfriend or girlfriend, a friend is someone who will be there for you no matter what (unless you have fake friends; that’s a different story). You don’t even know if your significant other will be in your life forever unless you found “the one” and that’s rare. But anyway you can go out to Chick fil a and eat your heart out and just enjoying each other's company. And then y’all can go to Target and get some ice cream and watch a comedy together. But if you don’t have any friends then.....I’m sorry.
2. Binge watching Netflix
Even though Valentine’s day is on a school night, that doesn’t mean that you can’t stay up all night and watch your favorite show/movie. Just blow off all your homework, go straight to your room, and stay in there for the rest of the day. Obviously, I’m kidding about blowing off your homework, well you do that anyway so it’s not any different. Basically find a good movie to watch, something funny, not romantic, and enjoy yourself.
3. Play a board game with your family
Whoever is reading this should know what a board game is, even though all your entertainment comes from your phone, board games are still the best thing ever. If your parents think Valentine’s day is stupid and decided to stay home, then do something with them. It can be rough seeing them happy and thinking that you’re never going to have something like that, but don’t think about it and have fun with them overall.
Overall don’t stress over the stuff that you don’t have, but appreciate the stuff that you do have. A loving family, great friends, and an awesome life. Valentine’s day comes once every year, and it’s not really important, it’s honestly stupid but I won’t get into that. And don’t think your life is awful because you don’t have a girlfriend or boyfriend, you don’t need anyone to make you happy. Be yourself, someday someone will sweep you off your feet, but don’t go looking for him or her let them look for you.
