6 Things Single People Can Do On Valentines Day

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

Who said Valentines Day was intended only for couples? Valentines Day doesn’t have to be a depressing or sad day for you. Here’s a list of fun things you can do to treat yourself or even do with the girls.

1. Go get breakfast! 

Treat yourself to a hot and tasty breakfast. That box of cereal isn’t cutting it anymore. I know that college can be really busy and stressful, so go ahead and treat your taste buds right!

2. Pamper yourself. 

A spa day is always a good idea. Who doesn’t love a fresh Mani and Pedi or a back massage? This doesn’t happen often, so take advantage of the day and get you pampered up!

3. Movie Night. 

Yes, please! Gather your girls up and head out to a must-see movie that you have been longing to watch. This would be the perfect way for you all to catch up and bond with the ones you love.

4. Host a party! 

Send out invites to all your single friends and have a Valentine themed party with tons of baked goods, a photo booth, and games. There’s always a reason for a celebration!

5. Candlelit dinner. 

You don’t have to be at a restaurant to have a candlelit dinner. Find a new recipe or cook one of your best dishes, play some music, dim the lights or keep them on. Boom! You will have your own candlelit dinner in the privacy of your own home, plus it’s a great way to relax.

6. Shopping.

There’s always an excuse to go shopping, and what better day to do it than Valentines Day? Check out a new shopping center or hit up your favorite mall. It’s always a good idea to start some early spring shopping!
