Single Pringles

For all the lonely people out there.

For the people who aren’t “dating” someone when Valentine’s comes around, it becomes annoying. All of the lovey dovey couples, the gifts, not to mention social media. I just can’t explain in words how much I hate it.

Walking through the hallways, I can see all these “lovey dovey’ couples. Hand in hand, the girl carrying balloons and a teddy bear. The boy holding the chocolates he got her for, yet he didn’t get anything in return. Seeing the couples with their matchingsweatshirts that they worn everyday since the first day of school. A week later they break up.

I get so mad when I see this with a full box of chocolates during fourth period, and I would have eaten the in ten seconds. I can’t stand that they have to flaunt that they got a teddy bear and balloons that say “Happy Valentine’s Day”, like it isn’t such a cliché. I mostly wish that I had a really good friend who gave me a gift like that so I could flaunt it like them.

I don’t care what your “boo” got you this year for Valentine’s day. I know I’m single this year, like I have been for my entire life, and I don’t need to open my phone to see you holding the same thing I saw you holding four times in the hallway, or see you hugging your best friend doing a stupid boomerang with you kicking your foot in the air. I don’t want to see you in the hallway with some teddy bear after seeing you put on your story that you are going to be single again.

I don’t like Valentine’s Day, like most single people, it gets so infuriating.  As all single pringles know, as soon as we start dating someone, we will no long hate the holiday, we start to become the people we dislike now.
