 If you’re going to be single this Valentine’s Day, don’t be sad. Have a party with friends instead! Who said you have to spend the day of love with a significant other? Hosting a Palentine’s party to show your love for your friends can be just as fun.

Gather your decorations, heart balloons and confetti. Get in the Valentine’s spirit.

 

Nothing says Valentine’s Day like chocolate covered strawberries. Have a fondue bar! Get some fruit, cheesecake pieces, waffles, and more.

 

Or maybe get together some ingredients and make a cheese platter.

 

Don’t forget the festive drinks!

 

The best part about spending Valentine’s at UCSB is that you can take your party to the beach.

Feel free to dress up! Who doesn’t enjoy getting glammed up every once in a while? Plus, it makes for a good squad pic.

Happy Valentine’s Day, Gauchos!
