Most students do not have a significant other and thus they tend to spend valentines in denial and loneliness.
- Cook a new menu and recipe as a student. Plan to cook a very good meal for yourself. Take a cookbook and choose a meal that you have never taken before. On valentines day, purchase the ingredients and then prepare them for cooking. Ensure that you experiment with a new recipe that you have never tried before. This creates feelings of excitement and anticipation that make the day to be very enjoyable. It shifts your mind from a state of loneliness to a state of excitement and productivity.
- Travel to a new location on valentine’s day. Make valentines exciting by travelling to a new location or neighbourhood where there you have never been previously. You can choose a location that is exciting such as a picnic location or a museum which is far off. Make the travel memorable and exciting by travelling with others. Mostly travel to locations that will force you to walk some distances that can make you feel tired and exhilarated at the same time. This makes the travel memorable and ensures that your valentines day is not miserable.
- Do something nice for someone. On Valentine’s, you can choose to engage in charitable acts that demonstrate your love and care for someone especially someone that is not related to you. It can be a sickly neighbour that you can help to wash dishes and spend time with them. It can be an elderly couple that you can stay with during valentine’s day.
- Keep your phone off during valentines. It can be very exciting if you choose to have a phone off day. This is when you keep your phone away and avoid social media altogether. This will ensure that you do not feel depressed when others upload photos of themselves.
- Visit your parents. One of the best ways to spend your valentines is to spend the day with your parents. Offer to cook for them and wash dishes for them. Taking your time off and seeing your parents and helping them it can be very fulfilling.
