Well, it is the day before V-day.  The holiday that women in relationships worry about almost more than their significant other’s own birthdays, and the one that single women loathe most.  On college campuses, it goes without saying that you will see a couple every day being…couple-y and smooching on the lawn, holding hands ect.  As we know, Valentine’s day makes it even worse; all the flowers, the chocolates, all seems nice…but it’s not for you.  It’s for your roommate or your neighbor who has a loving boyfriend.  If you are in one of these situations tomorrow, here’s a couple points of advice:

1) Politely but pointedly remind your roommate that, while you love her and her boyfriends such a good guy (you can white lie), you’d rather not see them going at it on top of the roses and chocolates he has just given her, and especially if the boy has a single, tell her to take it there.

2) Go shopping.  This is what I plan on doing, but that’s mainly because it’s my birthday Thursday.  But either way, retail therapy, even if its on a tight budget is relaxing and allows your mind to not dwell on the fact that you’re single on Valentine’s day, but on the cute new leather boots you bought for a rave next weekend.

3) Mani-Pedis.  If you’re not a shopper, go treat yourself to a manicure pedicure.  You’re still being pampered, and you don’t have to worry about returning the favor in any other way expect monetary payment.

And if all else fails…

4) Drink with your other single girl friends.  Hey, why not you guys can have a few sloshed lifechats with your girls while everyone else is having those romantic dinners and then wake up with a satisfying hangover.  It IS a Saturday night after all

I know this day above all days is when most women like to be in relationships, but remember single girls; you don’t have to have a man to have a good Valentine’s Day.

Until Next Time!
