What to do on Valentine’s Day if you’re Single AF

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

Cuffing season has come and gone, and you’re still single. You love being single, but Valentine’s Day is approaching fast, and it can sometimes be a little depressing watching the mushy PDA on February 14th. So instead of wallowing, here are 5 fun things to do on this day of love.

1. Galantine’s Day

The best way to celebrate this day of love is with your girlfriends. Grab your ladies, and spend it showering each other in love. #girlpower

2. Celebrate Being Single AF

Who needs a man? You are strong, independent women! Go out dancing, and enjoy the fact that you aren’t tied down. You are fabulous and free; enjoy it.

3. Treat Yo’ Self!

This is the day that couples shower each other with things they don’t need, so why not do the same? Treat yo’ self to those shows you’ve been eyeing, and get a facial so you can glow on the outside as much as you do on the inside. 

4. Live Vicariously Through Dakota Johnson

It’s no coincidence that 50 Shades Darker premieres on Valentine’s Day. Get some candy and popcorn, and indulge in Christian Grey looking yummy as per usual.  

5. Nicholas Sparks’ Marathon

Nicholas Sparks knows the way to a melt a girl’s heart. Curl up with some fuzzy socks, tissues, and your two favorite men (Ben & Jerry, of course), and cry to Ryan Gosling’s mushy romance. 

Now the hardest part of your Valentine’s Day is going to be picking how to spend it. So enjoy this day of love by loving yourself and doing something fun!
