1. Avoid Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking sites. Unless you want to see all your friends who are dating smother each others walls and statuses with "I love yous"....or unless you want to see all your single friends constantly whine about how this day makes them feel depressed and alone and blah blah blah...
2. Eat chocolate. It doesn't matter if you're on a diet, or if you have to go out and buy it for yourself. Eat it, it will make you feel better. And don't get the cheap stuff either. Reaally treat yourself. (And if you don't like chocolate, go buy ice cream or something. Actually, even if you DO like chocolate go buy ice cream. That plus the chocolate will be like double happyness.)
3. Watch a Nicholas Sparks movie! Yes, with yourself. Or better yet, with a girl friend. Watching Channing Tatum, Ryan Gosling, or Liam Hemsworth will make you realize one thing: if you're not gonna spend Valentines Day with a guy like that, then you're better off alone until you find one.
4. Express yourself. If you're feeling a little sad, don't keep it bottled up and cry alone or whatever. Talk to your girl friends about it! No one understands what you're going through better than they do. Or draw a picture that explains your emotions. Or write a story or a diary entry or a blog post. But please, please, PLEASE keep it private. Don't write all over Facebook about how lonely you are (not to be mean or anything, but it's pathetic.) And if you talk to a friend about it, talk on the phone, or in person, or over private message! Not on a wall post or something that every single person you know can see.
5. Forget about it! You've been single up until this point anyway...so what's the difference if you're single on Valentines Day? It's just another day that's been extremely commercialized so that places like Hallmark and all the giant teddy bear factories of the world can make a gazillion dollars. Just live it like you would any other day. Keep yourself busy, do school, or work, or watch a couple episodes of your favorite sitcom (FRIENDS!) and before you know it, the day will be over, and you wont have anything to worry about for a whole other year. PHEW!
Anyway, I hope everyone has a good Valentine/Single Awareness/Just Another Day Day! <3
