Single Valentine’s Day

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at KU chapter.

So everyone knows that Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. Couples will be professing their love all over social media, bombarding stores for those last minute gifts and praying that their two day shipping comes faster. Sounds like a lot of work for just one day. For the single ladies and gentlemen out there, this day is often a dreaded one if you may not have someone to share it with, but in all actuality this day can be better for singles than couples. Here are a few reasons why. 

1. Presents.

 

There is no need to worry about picking the right present for your significant other; instead, you can buy your own presents and you get exactly what you want, when you want it and exactly how you want it. 

2. Romantic Dates. 

You don’s have to drop a load of money for just two people. You can cook a special meal right in your own kitchen, but if you don’t feel like doing all the work, take another single friend out and enjoy a girls night out or even a bro date for the guys. 

3. Relaxation.

Lastly take this out to relax. Enjoy a day to think about you and only you; learn to love yourself and be happy with the person that you are. This is the day to be a little selfish and care about yourself.
