It is that time of the year folks. Time to bust out your address book and text all the people on your desperate list. Guys, it is time to use those cheesy pickup lines and girls, it is time to cringe at every one of them. Why is it that every single person in America freaks out during this time of year(myself included)? Maybe it is all the infamous romance movies that make us feel like total losers for not having a significant other. Perhaps it is the Chili’s two for twenty commercial that makes you tear up because you do not have anyone to share that delicious value meal with. I mean you can't get a two for twenty by yourself. Well you can, but that brings me back to why you are single in the first place. We all have those annoying friends that are in a relationship around this time of the year. You know the ones that brag about how their boyfriend is getting them the newest James Avery ring and they are going to some fancy restaurant. BARF?! I mean what are single people supposed to do, drown ourselves in our depressing lonely tears? I can not count how many times I have heard my single friends say they are jumping off a cliff or that they were going to be forever alone. I almost joined the "boo who, I’m single" bandwagon but I figured out a better way to solve the tragedy of being alone on Valentines.

Treat yourself, just because you do not have a valentine does not mean you can't be pampered. You are fabulous and you deserve it!
Things to do when you’re ridin’ solo:
· Get a manicure or a pedicure. Men don’t miss out on this relaxing experience . J
· Get a massage to release stress.
· Buy yourself something you have been wanting for a while, but have not wanted to splurge.
· Eat your favorite foods. No calorie counting today!
· Go on pinterest and look up some delicious recipes. Pinterest is also a great source for do it yourself craft projects.
· Go to the beauty salon and change your look a bit.
· Invite some friends over and have a cocktail night.
· Watch some of your favorite funny movies.
· Write a letter to the future you about all the things you want to get accomplished.
· Go to a karaoke bar and sing your heart out.
· Since Valentine’s Day is on a Tuesday hit up the San Marcos dollar theatre for 50 cent Tuesdays.
· Be productive and study for upcoming tests.
Whatever you do, just don’t mope around. Cupid hasn’t matched you up because no one is special enough yet.
XOXO
