Valentine’s Day is a day traditionally devoted to romantic love. If you’re in a relationship, it’s super special to have a day all about appreciating your partner. But if you’re single…well, you probably roll your eyes at every Valentine’s advertisement and Instagram post you see, and get hyped for hosting the best Galentine’s Day party instead. .
But why should actual Valentine’s Day be celebrated by just those in relationships? We all have so much love in our lives that we should be celebrating every single day. So whether you’re just getting out of a relationship, or you’ve been perpetually single, you deserve to bask in all the love in your life this Valentine #szn. We asked you all how you were celebrating Valentine’s Day as single college women this year—and your responses were truly relatable.
