How To Get Over Valentine’s Day

By Jay Ibarra

It’s the day after Valentine’s Day and you’re strolling past Altgeld Hall, still without a bae. Melted chocolate squares line the pockets of students across campus and you’re in class with a card from your grandma.

Here’s your guide to get over your bae-less Valentine’s Day:

Movie marathon

Don’t feel bad, romantic comedies live on for forever. Whether you grab your Taylor Swift girl squad or hang out with a few of your boys, laugh along to all of the movies that mock and even give your single life a glimmer of hope. Grease Live, anyone?

Pin your heart out

So you saw a few engagement announcements on Facebook — good for them. It’s time to start thinking about your future Facebook announcement. Take some time to organize your Pinterest board. Channel your inner Martha Stewart and take to the home decor section of Pinterest.

Indulge

This is the perfect opportunity to hit the store for half-off candy. You can call it a stupid commercial holiday, but once those chocolates are 50 percent off, who gets the last laugh? Those caramel chocolates are yours.

Treat yourself

You deserve to treat yourself. What have you always wanted for Valentine’s Day that a significant other has always detested? Go buy it! Get that new X-Box game or cute handbag you’ve been eyeing.

DIY Edible Arrangements

If you are the kind of person who likes to be crafty, make a nice treat and send it to yourself. I think we all wanted Edible Arrangements sent to us this year.
