If you have a significant other, enjoy the romance of today, post those cute and sappy pictures, and remind your person how much you love and appreciate them. If you\u2019re single, do not hate those that are celebrating and do your own thing. This holiday is all about love; love for your family and friends counts too! My friends brought me flowers, chocolate, and a note. It was something simple and yet it made my day, so today can be about reminding anyone that you love them. Make your friends&#8217; day! Bring your mom or grandma flowers. Just because you are not in a relationship or it\u2019s complicated right now doesn\u2019t mean you have to miss the fun. Get your friends to have a girl&#8217;s night or a bros night, you don\u2019t have to treat the day like anything out of the ordinary if you don\u2019t want to. My plans include watching \u201cTo All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You\u201d, eating chocolate-covered strawberries, drinking some wine, and then going out with my friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I listened to a podcast this week from Barstool, Schnitt Talk. Ellie and her co-host Alana discussed Valentine\u2019s Day and I agreed with their thoughts. One of her big points was to not be a hater during this holiday, it\u2019s supposed to be fun and to let people be happy. She also points out that you do not need to feel sorry for yourself because you\u2019re single every other day of the year so you don\u2019t need to make this day special. Do what makes you happy but don\u2019t ruin the day for others and just have fun today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"520\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/genz\/files\/2020\/02\/IMG_9081-520x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/genz\/files\/2020\/02\/IMG_9081-520x1024.jpg 520w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/genz\/files\/2020\/02\/IMG_9081-152x300.jpg 152w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/genz\/files\/2020\/02\/IMG_9081-768x1511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/genz\/files\/2020\/02\/IMG_9081-781x1536.jpg 781w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/genz\/files\/2020\/02\/IMG_9081-1041x2048.jpg 1041w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/genz\/files\/2020\/02\/IMG_9081.jpg 1122w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><figcaption>My friend brought me flowers, chocolate, and a letter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s Valentine\u2019s Day!
