Q: Why is Valentine’s Day the best day for a celebration?
A: Because you can really party hearty!
Ok, so that may be the worst joke ever (and no, I did not make it up!), but Valentine’s Day is a good day to party regardless of your relationship status. Check out my shenanigans last year in this post. If the bars aren’t your scene, have a girls night in! My freshman year of college we had a dorm party (no boys allowed!) that included chocolate, cosmos, and Grey’s Anatomy DVD’s. Doesn’t get much better than that.
Even if all your friends are in relationships, and you are single, you can still dance around your room on a sugar high from V-Day candy and then take a bubble bath. Sounds like a good night to me!
Regardless of your plans, I think you need a playlist. Because everything is more fun with music.
