Valentine’s Day (aka the single girl’s worst nightmare) is quickly approaching and it can easily become an excuse to binge watch Netflix in bed and avoid happy couples everywhere. Instead, get a group of your closest friends together and try something new!
1. Go on a Skiing or Snowboarding Trip – With awesome ski resorts such as Wisp, Seven Springs and Snowshoe within reasonable driving distance from Morgantown, going on a skiing or snowboarding trip with your friends is a great alternative to spending Valentine’s Day with your (non-existent) significant other.
2. Take a Trip to a Winery – Local wineries including Heston Farms Winery and Forks of Cheat Winery are within minutes of downtown Morgantown and are a perfect option to spend Valentines Day with your friends. Wine Wednesday Weekend!
3. Spend the day in Pittsburgh – Pittsburgh has fascinating museums and great restaurants that would make spending Valentines Day with your girls one for the books.
4. Go to the Movies – Interested in a more laidback option? Try seeing a new movie with your friends on Valentine’s Day. Bonus: you can wear leggings.
5. Check out a Local Restaurant – The restaurant scene in Morgantown has improved recently with the addition of Tin 202 and Table 9. Both offer upscale and interesting options that will make your girls Valentine’s Day a special occasion.
6. Try Ice Skating – Ice Skating is a light hearted Valentine’s Day activity and is sure to keep you and your pals laughing the whole time (no matter how many times you fall).
7. Get a Manicure – Look good, feel good! Because is there anything the can lift your spirits as quickly as getting a mani pedi with your friends?
8. Visit an Animal Shelter – Is there anything better than snuggles with an adorable puppy? Get your friends together and go visit a local animal shelter and play with the kittens and puppies; this is a great option because you’ll probably be making their day too!
9. Cook Dinner – Get together and try cooking a gourmet meal. The challenge of following a tough recipe will definitely pay off with the tasty meal.
10. Try a Paint and Sip – Paint and Sips are super popular for a reason. Use this Valentine’s Day to release your inner Picasso. Following the teacher is easy and you and your friends will get to take home your paintings as a souvenir. Just be careful not to sip too much or your starry night may turn out more like a “It’s Abstract!” piece.
