My boyfriend and I will continue our tradition by dressing in our finest apparel and enjoying a five-star meal at Arby’s. Then, I will thoroughly enjoy some concoction he has put together because I’ve had too many Valentine’s Days sulking in my room…so I make up for lost time!

9. This Valentine’s Day I will be sending flowers and candy to myself with a note saying “From a Secret Admirer” to make my roommates jealous.

10. This commercialized excuse for a holiday has turned me into a love-crazed sap machine – I will be trolling the card shops and coffee bars looking for broken women crying in their lattes, and try and get me a date.
