Singles Awareness Day

DSC00549 Valentine’s Day might have been a struggle for those who aren’t one half of a couple. Don’t worry though, the day after Valentine’s Day is always Singles Awareness Day! Whether you’re flying solo or half of a couple, everyone can appreciate being alone every once in awhile. Taking time to yourself to explore things is a great experience. You don’t have to worry about being rushed or dragged off to something else. You can take as much time as you want! Celebrate Singles Awareness or just celebrate hanging out by yourself this week. Sure museums are fun to burrow into with a partner. You get to point things out and learn together and compare knowledge. However, going in alone is a whole different experience. You have all the time in the world to wander around the museum, marvel at each exhibit for as long as you want and revisit the same thing over and over again. When you’re with a partner, they might try to drag you ahead to something they’re interested in. We suggest the Morgantown History Museum or the Monongalia Arts Center. Explore the relics and artifacts that have historical significance to Morgantown and the arts of the region. Learn more about the Morgantown History Museum and the Monongalia Arts Center before you head out on your own. Luckily for us, both the History Museum and the Arts Center are just a short 7 minute drive away from Pierpont Place Apartments. You might think that going to the movies is the quintessential date night idea. Taking your date out to dinner and then to the theater for a cinematic adventure of your choosing. However, the movies are much better when you go in alone. Imagine walking in, purchasing one ticket, buying popcorn, candy and a drink that you won’t have to share with anyone else and taking a seat in the theater in silence, ready to enjoy your chosen movie. If you’re actually single you might appreciate the incredibly timely How to Be Single or if you’re looking for a superhero movie that goes against the grain you’ll like Deadpool. There are tons of fantastic movies out this time of year so you will have some great choices. Check movie times for this week here for Regal Morgantown Stadium, just a short 10 minute drive away from Pierpont. You’re probably familiar with the phrase ‘Netflix and Chill’ but we recommend ‘Netflix and Snacks By Yourself’. Sure it’s fun to watch movies and binge TV shows with someone else but wouldn’t you much rather make it through 3 full seasons of Orange is the New Black on your own without anyone judging you for still being in your pajamas? If you haven’t seen Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, House of Cards or Better Call Saul, you still have some time to catch up before the new seasons are aired. You don’t have to actually be single to celebrate Singles Awareness Day. Enjoy some solitude and your own company sometime and you’ll really appreciate it.
