Valentine’s Day is every (un)happily single person ‘s favorite holiday. While it’s great to share this day with someone you’re madly in love with it is also okay to celebrate it alone. Valentine’s Day is not only to show others you love them but to take some time out and love yourself. As a single college student there are plenty of options available with little to no cost to to make your V day special!
Go to see a movie- I’m sure not all of your friends are taken right? Well if not, you could all go together to see a movie this upcoming Saturday. A recommended movie, especially if you all have read the book, is Fifty Shades of Grey which is likely to sell out so purchase your tickets in advance.
Girl’s Night in- You could also stay in for the night no need to go out. You can gather all your closest friends under one roof and have fun. You could make it into a Junk food potluck or you could make all your favorite deserts and watch your favorite “Chick flicks”. If all of your friends have dates then don’t be afraid to pamper yourself! Whether at home or at a salon, treat yourself to a little TLC.
Chinese New year Festival- If you’re looking for a more non-traditional Valentine’s Day then maybe the Birmingham Chinese New Year festival is for you. It’s hosted by the Birmingham Chinese American Community at the Boutwell Auditorium. There will be Food, Music, Art, activities and a stage performance. The celebration starts at 11 am and the show at 11:30, tickets are two dollars per adult.
Whatever your relationship status is this Valentine’s Day learn to enjoy and make the most out of it.
