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

Some of us know all too well how dreadful Valentines Day can be if you do not have a significant other. Seeing all the post about the cute teddy bears and chocolate hearts people are receiving can end up being the worst part of your day. Here are a few things to get you through this day of love if you’re on your own, or simply don’t enjoy this holiday.

  1. Make yourself a spa night!

Everyone can always use a nice relaxing night of facemasks, nail painting and some nice deep conditioning!

  1. Movie Night!

Curl up under your favorite blankets, pop on your favorite movie whether it be a chick flick, horror film or comedy, and grab a bowl of popcorn to enjoy a cozy night in!

 

  1. Cook that meal you’ve been wanting to try!

Treat yourself to a nice home cooked meal, there’s no better time to pull up that recipe you’ve been dying to try! Grab those ingredients, throw on some music, and make it a party in your kitchen.

  1. Invite some friends over for a pizza party!

Two of the best things in the world, 1. Pizza, 2. Good company! So call up a couple of friends order a huge pizza and have a blast!

  1. Go out with your girls!

What better way to spend this ~lovely~ holiday than having a night out with your girls? There’s no need to sit around and be sad all night, go out, have a good time and forget the day even exists!

 

  1. Clean your room/ organize your life!

Because cleaning your room is always the go to when you’re trying to avoid something! You might as well get your life together and organized while trying to dodge the Valentines.

  1. Have a craft night!

After a long week that’s almost over it’s time to have some creative fun. Paint a picture or do some coloring and just let your creative juices flow!

  1. Do some online shopping!

The best yet simultaneously worst activity is the art of online shopping, it’s time to treat yourself a little with some online shopping! Plop yourself down in your bed or on your couch and browse away!

  1. Have a homework party!

After all it is still a Thursday night, invite some friends over and have a big study session to have a productive Thursday night!

  1. Go to bed early!

Is there really anything more satisfying that get a long night of sleep! Why not climb into bed early, relax a bit and wake up the next day refreshed.
