Valentine’s Day is a time for couples to appreciate each other and enjoy their relationship, but some people (including us) won’t have anybody to celebrate with. Even if you’re single this Valentine’s Day, there are still tons of fun things to do! We’ve compiled a list of five cool things to do when the 14th rolls around.
1. Throw a party
You and your hall-mates can hang out, decorate cookies, discuss cute celebrities and make cards for each other. Ryan Gosling (despite being married) is always a good start.
2. Go to the movies
Valentine’s weekend always hosts new releases of great movies. Staunton’s Visulite Theater will be playing 50 Shades of Grey, but other local cinemas have a wider variety. Or, you could check out MBC’s own production of the popular play, Metamorphoses.
3. Be productive
Use your free time to actually get some things done. Put on some music and start checking things off of your to do list: laundry, homework, clean your room, maybe run some errands. How much can you get done in one night?
4. Have a TV marathon
Find a new TV show and see how many seasons you can get through. Snuggle up under a super fuzzy blanket with some popcorn and make sure to stock up on soda and candy. Friends are always welcome to join.
5. Hang out with your best friends
Do something fun with your besties. Together, you can make your own spa complete with homemade face masks, a nail polish station and maybe even fun-colored hair dye. Or, you could have a movie night in with flavored popcorn, sappy Nicolas Sparks movies, and rom-com movie trivia.
