Are you lacking in
a relationchip this
Valentine’s Day? All
the single ladies (and
gentlemen) here is how
to be the best single
pringle you can be in the
season of love.
1) Identify yourself
as a single pringle. The
first step to being happy
as a single person is
acknowledging the fact
that you are single. Most
people are ashamed or
embarrassed to admit
that they’re alone.
The Best Way to be a Single Pringle
For when you’re not in a Relationchip
By Grace Duckworth, Kayla Hilado, and Jane Pierce
Even people like senior
Reuben Levin and
sophomore Alex Regan
are hesitant to embrace
the title. It will be better
in the long run to accept
your relationship status
and learn to love your
single lifestyle.
2) Find other single
people in your area.
It’s easier for single
people to be date-less
when they have another
like-minded person to
relate to. Levin says
that on Valentine’s Day
he reaches out to other
friends that aren’t in
relationships and hang
out. Keep in mind that
this step isn’t about
seeking a relationship,
but a friendship. You
don’t need a significant
other to be happy.
3) Take up ‘single’
hobbies. A great way
for someone to get
passed the negatives
of being single is to
distract yourself.
“I like to watch
movies and cry, and
cry, and cry,” junior
Elisa Valesquez says
jokingly. It’s also
great to learn to like
being independent, don’t
be ashamed to be alone.
Try knitting, watching
Friends reruns, and
taking in multiple cats.
Whatever you do, make
Teachers’ love advice
sure it’s enjoyable for
you.
4) Accept and
love the single life. A
romantic relationship
isn’t always the best for
everyone. Sometimes

you just need to
recognize that your value
and personal worth isn’t
dependent on whether
or not you’re dating
someone. Eventually.
Paws-itively in (Puppy) Love
By Colleen Parker and Shelby Baird
Dear Most Beloved Pet,
You’re the greatest companion that anyone could hope to have. You’re loving and
fun and oh so comforting in my time of need - all the things I wish were in
my past relationships. Pet, I truly believe you’re my one true soul mate. Stay with
me forever, so we can watch Netflix.
Love,
Your Sappy Human Friend

“Don’t let drama consume your
relationship. If there’s a lot of
drama in your relationship
then it’s probably not a good
relationship to be in.”
“I started dating my husband in
high school, so I think I would
know about love. Love is about
the way that you treat people, not
about the things you say or buy
for them. It’s about respecting
them and enjoying being with
them. It’s not about needing them
but wanting to be with them.”

“Don’t take it all so seriously.
There’s a lot of life to live. Just
go out and live it.”
“DON’T! DO NOT! Buddha,
in essence said, there is nothing
good in women. Ladies,
gentlemen will break your
heart. Gentlemen, ladies will
break your heart. And this
is coming from a man that’s
been married twice, but I love
my wife. My current wife.”
