Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone regardless of relationship status.

Do not fret if you are single. There are ways to be included on Valentine’s Day without it being a huge pity party.

This upcoming holiday can be spent through a variety of ways that do not include a significant other.

You could take yourself out to eat, remind people you love how much you care about them or go hang out with friends in the Red Zone. 

The Red Zone, a place to play games such as pool and ping pong, is located in the bottom floor of the Ceddia Union Building (CUB) across from the bookstore. 

Use Valentine’s Day as a reminder that love exists. Allow yourself to appreciate what you have and know love can be found in a lot of different ways.

You can love your hobbies, your friends and even your job. While Valentine’s Day focuses on romantic love, those who are single can celebrate it in different ways.

Spend the day however you please without others judgment. If you want to spend time with your single friends, then this is the best time to do this. You do not need to spend the day alone.

Valentine’s Day falls on a Friday in 2020. Thus, students can finish a week of classes and relax on the holiday. Take an afternoon off from studying to watch a movie or play games.

Once the day is over, you can go back to doing what you do all the time. This special day is just a reminder that love is an essential part of life with and without a partner.

You can also just treat the day like any other if you so please. Make the day whatever you want it to be.

Sincerely,

The ShipTalker
