7 Reasons Why Being Single on Valentine’s Day is The Best Thing Ever

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

We know that when you’re single, all the buzz and fuss around Valentine’s Day might make you a little fidgety – especially if all your friends are happily loved-up and spending the day with their SOs. But don’t worry, spending Valentine’s Day alone can be just as awesome! Here are some great reasons why you should be getting excited about this Valentine’s Day already!

1. You get to eat all the chocolate yourself. 

2. You don’t have to explain why you just have to watch “Valentine’s Day” today. And “Love Actually”. And “The Notebook” (because let’s face it, you just can’t do Valentine’s Day without it).

3. And when you do watch the aforementioned, you get to bawl your mascara all over the place like it’s nobody’s business.

4. You don’t need to keep hinting at anyone (over and over again) about what you’d like to have as a Valentine’s Day gift. You can just go get it yourself!

5. You don’t have to put up with any ”I think Valentine’s Day is way overrated” explanations from your SO after forgetting about the whole holiday. 

6. You get to listen to all the cheesiest love songs on your playlist and make the moves up as you go without caring how you look.

7. And when you’ve spent the whole day doing all the things you want to do, you might make some pretty groundbreaking realizations about life.

Happy Valentine’s Day collegiettes!
