Valentine's Day Girls' Night Out

If you are a single student on Valentine’s day and looking for a non-couples-related activity, chances are you are not alone. While couples are on romantic dates, several of your friends may be seeking an alternative way to spend Valentine’s Day. Organizing a girls night out with single girlfriends can be an enjoyable way to spend the holiday.

Below are a few fun activities for college women on Valentine’s Day:

If any members of your group is sad about not being in a relationship this Valentine’s day, romantic movies may be depressing for them. Comedies (other than romantic comedies) and horror movies might be be good alternative Valentine’s Day choices.

Go dancing
Dancing can be a fun activity for friends. Be sure you are going to spend time with friends and not simply searching for dates.

Take a trip to the bowling alley
Bowling can be a fun alternative Valentine’s Day activity for a group of friends.

Find a skating rink
Spending the evening roller or ice skating can not only be a fun activity for friends on Valentine’s Day, but it can also be a great way to get exercise at the same time.

Pamper yourselves
Treating yourselves to a massage, facial, or manicure can be a good alternative Valentine’s Day choice for you and your friends. Salons and spas can be expensive. If your student budget is tight, you and your friends can give to one another makeovers or manicures.

Hang out at home
Enjoying time your room or apartment with friends can be fun way to spend Valentine’s Day. A few possibilities include having a movie marathon, playing board games, or baking together.

Embark on a new adventure
Participating in an activity you have always wanted to try can make your Valentine’s Day exciting. If you have always wanted to to go spelunking (also called caving), repelling, climbing a rock wall or any other activity, Valentine’s Day with your friends can be a fun time to try it. If you do try a potentially dangerous activity, verify that an experienced instructor or guide will be available to help you.

Do something to benefit those in need
Volunteering with your friends in a place where you can help those who are less fortunate than you, such as a homeless shelter or food bank, can make your Valentine’s Day more meaningful.

However you decide to spend your Valentine’s Day, it is often more fun to spend it with others. If you are not in a relationship, you can look for single friends and plan a girls’ night out. An evening out with friends can make your holiday fun.
