10 Reasons It’s Superb to be Single on Valentine’s Day

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

Amongst all the candy hearts, teddy bears, and romantic Facebook posts, it can be easy to forget why being single on Valentine’s Day can be fun. Allow me to give you a little refresher:

1. You have absolutely no good reason to shave your legs. And that’s awesome.

2. It’s freezing, and instead of having to go outside on some extravagant date, you can just suggle with blankets on your couch with your best friends. 

3. You don’t have to concede your food wishes for a significant other with taste in food less sophisticated than that of a kindergartner. Instead of pretending to be the “chill” girl and eating KFC drive-thru, you can eat sushi, Italian, or an entire jar of Nutella if that is truly what your single heart desires.

4. Lingerie is both overpriced and uncomfortable, and most of all, only remotely flattering if you’re a Victoria’s Secret angel.

5. You’re not in an unhappy relationship. Seriously, we take this for granted far too often.

6. Rather than than having to monitor your Prosecco tipsiness level, you can get as crunk as you want and not be embarrassed about it.

7. Buying gifts for boys is a pain in the butt and a detriment to your already miniscule college student budget.

8. Because you can Google funny stories about girls whose hair lit on fire when they tried to have a candlelit romantic evening.

9. You can get drunk at Mardi Gras darties without having to worry about sobering up for your ridiculously fancy dinner.

10. You’re dope on your own and don’t need anyone else to verify that.
