33 Things I'd Rather Do Than See Happy Couples On Valentine's Day

Bridesmaids

The best day of the year is undoubtedly Galentine's Day when you get together with your girlfriends and have a night to chill out and not worry about the day ahead. Unfortunately, it's followed by Valentine's Day, which wouldn't be so bad if every couple ever didn't come out of the woodwork to publicly embarrass themselves. In honor of Valentine's Day, here are 33 things I would rather do than see happy couples together on February 14th.

1. Take an exam that I didn't study for

2. Take an unbearably cold shower

3. Get pulled over and not be able to cry my way out of a ticket

4. Forget to put my ice cream back in the freezer and let it turn to soup

5. Forget to check the weather in the morning and plan my outfit all wrong

6. Go to class hungover

7. Go to pick up a package and have it not be mine

8. Carry a heavy package all the way across campus and then realize it's not mine

9. Show up for my 8:30 only for it to be canceled

10. Watch someone get the job I applied for

11. Send an email to a professor and forget to attach my assignment

12. Drunk text my ex

13. Slip and fall on ice in the Quad

14. Have my text messages projected to a class because I forgot to close the app on my laptop

15. Pick up the wrong breakfast sandwich in the morning

16. Have my wisdom teeth removed

17. Never attend another Villanova basketball game again

18. Show up for a job interview underdressed

19. Show up for a job interview overdressed

20. Have it rain on my wedding day

21. Confidently answer a question completely wrong

22. Get a horrible tattoo while drunk

23. Spill my hot tea all over myself

24. Walk around all day with a stain on my shirt that I didn’t know was there

25. Have my umbrella malfunction while it's pouring rain

26. Go to send a screenshot of a text to my group chat and accidentally send it back to the person I screenshotted

27. Vote for Donald Trump

28. Forget my Netflix password

29. Get pink eye in both eyes

30. Get a new phone and crack it the next day

31. Get stung by a jellyfish on spring break

32. Lose my passport in a foreign country

33. Fail out of college

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
