Yes! Valentine’s Singles Awareness Day is here. Singles Awareness Day celebrates and embraces the joy of being single. Here’s how you can celebrate Singles Awareness Day this year.
Just because Cupid goes around with a heart-shaped arrow this time of the year doesn’t mean that he hits targets all of the time! Being in a relationship or planning gifts during a time hallmarked as the month of love is cute for romantic couples, but it’s equally special for people who have embraced the single life as well.
If you are single and reading this right now, let’s start planning to celebrate Singles Awareness Day right now! If you are single and feeling left out in the cold, we have you covered with exciting ways to celebrate Single Awareness Day (sometimes also abbreviated as S.A.D.). While the official day to celebrate Single Awareness Day is February 15, some single people celebrate S.A.D. on February 14 (as anti-Valentine Day).
If you plan to celebrate anti-Valentine’s Day this year, make sure you have a parking spot reserved in advance (especially if you have plans to visit popular locations and restaurants). Having a guaranteed parking spot booked in advance makes sure you don’t end up without a parking spot. Here are some ways to celebrate the day of being single!
1. Go on a long drive
Embrace the freedom and independence of being single on Single Awareness Day and cruise through the road with the one person who will never let you down, your car! There are very few things that are more romantic than a solo drive through an endless open road.
Take in the views and move through towards an unexplored destination at your own pace. Are you worried about parking in a new city? We have you covered with plenty of spots for parking garages that offer secure parking at convenient rates. Even if it’s a busy city like New York, we will make sure that cheap parking in NYC is just a click away!

2. Every day is a good day for chocolate
Regardless of your mood, chocolate always brightens up your day. Plan a visit to your local candy store, and they will have the wildest collection of chocolates ready to be served. If they ask whether it’s for your significant other, don’t say anything and smile back. This is your pathway to discounts, too, without even having a significant other. That’s not all. The best part about going chocolate shopping when you’re single is that you get all the chocolate and don’t have to share it with anyone!
3. Channel your energy into a workout
While many people celebrate and embrace being single on Valentine’s Day, there is an opposite side to this coin. There is also an equal number of single people who don’t feel motivated to do anything on Valentine’s Day. While the idea of celebrating Singles Awareness Day may cheer them up a bit, watching a romantic couple holding hands and walking side by side could drag them back to that dark corner. Learning to channel this negative energy into physical activity, like getting back to the gym or starting to work out again, can be the best decision you make after New Year’s resolutions.

4. Why buy roses when you can grow them!
Red roses are the star attraction of Valentine’s Day, and shops start displaying them in early February. However, they are pretty expensive and in high demand during Valentine’s week. Watching red roses everywhere can also be annoying for people planning to celebrate Single Awareness Day.
All superheroes don’t wear capes, and it’s time to be your own superhero. Get in your car, head towards the local plant nursery or garden center, and buy rose plants of all colors other than red. The time is just about perfect to start growing a garden, and that too, without any red roses!!
5. Hang out with your friends
One of the main drawbacks of being single on Valentine’s Day is feeling lonely or alone, especially when a couple walks right past you. However, this will not be an issue if you’re hanging out with friends. You’ll barely have any time to notice the couples when you have friends who let you forget about what happens around you.
Binge-watch action movies or go on a long drive with your friends. Forget about parking and book a guaranteed parking spot. Visit a new place or explore and disconnect yourself from the celebration of love. While the idea of celebrating a day of love is special, it is even better to celebrate it with a group that has embraced the feeling of being single. Whatever you do, the bottom line is to be happy!
