…it is not the end of the world. Calm down.

First, Valentine’s Day festivities started out as some weird Pagan festival that ended in marriage. It is just a normal day, injected with love steroids that makes you feel the need to seek out a companion months before in order to celebrate. But you should give up those devious plots next year and instead do something that will probably be more fun and take a lot less effort.

If you don’t have a boyfriend or girlfriend, there is still a multitude of other activities you can do. You can still have a great day. For example, this year I flaunted my singleness by going out with friends and dancing the night away.

What people tend to not realize is that for all the millions of people in a relationship on Valentine’s Day, there are millions of single people on Valentine’s Day as well. It’s not very difficult to find a single friend to have a good time with, instead of obsessing over your singleness all day.

For next year, if you find yourself wondering how to celebrate Valentine’s Day as a single lady, look around, realize you are not alone, and have an unforgettable night! You don’t need to be in a relationship in order to enjoy Valentine’s Day.
