4 Ways to Celebrate if You’re Anti V-Day
The most controversial holiday of the year has rolled around again: Valentine’s Day. For some of you, the day might be a heart-wrenching reminder of past relationships gone wrong. For others, the day is a celebration of love and all that. Or maybe it just reminds you of that movie Taylor Swift was in. Which camp do I fall in, you might ask? Well, actually, I love Valentine’s Day. I mean, what could be wrong about a red and pink themed day? It’s basically just honoring the two superior Starbursts flavors. Plus my mom always writes me a nice card.
I just think there’s a certain level of indulgence associated with the day that anyone can enjoy– single or taken. I also recently saw something about a chicken nugget bouquet trend, and honestly I don’t know how you can be against that. But wait, isn’t this supposed to be an ANTI Valentine’s Day piece? Why, yes it is. So I will now tap into the cynic in me, and suggest four alternate ways to spend V-day if, for some reason, red and pink Starbursts aren’t really your thing.
Take the money you would’ve spent on a gift for a significant other, and spend it on yourself!
Can’t think of anything you want? Can’t relate. But if you’re asking for suggestions, I’m sure there are some products featured on http://www.modachicago.org/ that will catch your eye #MODAplug.
2. Watch one of those pro-single movies, like Legally Blonde or something.
Let’s be real, Elle Woods would not have been the same if she started dating that guy Emmett earlier in the movie. He seems nice but his voice is kind of mopey. Anyways, just don’t watch something that will make you cry, because wallowing is lame.
3. Wine and dine yourself!
Waiters will probably feel bad for you if you’re sitting alone surrounded by tables of couples. Sounds like “on the house” to me!
4. All this love talk got you feeling nostalgic? Reach out to someone from your past; you never know what could happen.
I’m kidding! This one is a joke. Don’t tEXt an EX. That basically rhymes so it has to be true. I mean, unless you’re with that chaotic energy. But even so, just buy yourself a chicken nugget bouquet instead.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
