HOW TO CELEBRATE VALENTINE’S DAY AS A SINGLE PERSON

For years now we’ve been hearing “Valentine is coming Where’s your boyfriend… yenyenyen” and even though you’ve been in 25 talking stages there’s still no partner or love interest, be rest assured you can still have a wonderful Valentine’s day. It’s not about being in a relationship, trust me.
Anyways since Valentine’s day is finally here and you’re wondering fun things to do as a single Pringle look no further.
[ ] Avoid your friends that are in relationships: Memes have been going around about how some people would like to eat their friend’s packages which is nice and wonderful but if you are not God’s strongest soldier stay away from people in relationship to avoid the oppression. I’m not saying throw a pity party. Just stay away from them. It’s like they become extra feral around Valentine’s, shouting my man, my woman upandan. Tolu please just leave my sight today.
[ ] Wake up and thank God: It’s a new day still and even if you don’t have a lover you still have breath in your lungs. And life goes on regardless.
[ ] Laugh at all the Year 4 students that have 6 back to back classes: These ones cannot even have a restful Valentine’s because they have classes running from 8am to 5pm. Imagine going to class on Valentine’s day like the rest of us. Not that it’s a bad thing it’s just funny. These are the same people that wrote test last year Valentine’s. At this point we need to hold a seance.

[ ] Stay indoors and order in: You won’t find better advice anywhere. Order in because you deserve softness still. You don’t have to lift a finger. Solitude can be nice too.
[ ] Watch a movie but not romance movie find old Jet Li movies: We are avoiding romance for a reason. But if you have strong mental capacity watch a romance movie and live vicariously through the characters. K dramas are perfect for this. I recommend Do You Like Brahms and Business Proposal(rich male lead duh).
[ ] If all else fails sleep: My guy, sleep is sure. Catch up on sleep, sleep well, sleep all day. Sleep, sleep, sleep. It’s a wonderful way to avoid everything. You can even pretend the day never happened.
[ ] Get yourself a bottle of wine: It can be cheap or expensive just sip wine and think of how nice it is to spend time with yourself. Drink responsibly though.
[ ] Romanticize your loneliness: That’s the trend now, romantisicing your life. It’s not that bad to be alone tbh it can be fun too even. You can even go on a solo date. Take yourself out. Have fun.
[ ] Listen to Akon’s lonely If you want to wallow you can do this. I however do not fully recommend this. But if you want to, it’s Valentine’s, go off. You can also listen to Brick and Lace’s love is wicked to remind yourself that it’s all vanity upon vanity. I will be getting drunk on Westlife.
[ ] Call your friends in relationships and interrupt their date: These ones really want to enjoy their date in this rogbodiyan. This one is if you have stomach for wickedness sha. Do it.
[ ] Grab a fellow single Pringle and become a pretzel: You have single friends you can get together and celebrate Valentine’s. Maybe even have an anti Valentine party. It’ll ease the loneliness.
[ ] Confess your feelings to your crush: Do itttt. Las Las they’ll say they don’t like you back and in the spirit of Valentine’s day you can find another crush, don’t worry. Maybe next year you’ll have testimony and you won’t need this list.
And with this I hope you have a wonderful Valentine’s.
