Otherwise known as “Single’s Awareness Day,” Valentine's Day carries with it a stigma of certain expectations to those in relationships: from buying chocolates, roses, jewelry, and/or going out to dinner at a restaurant you both know you can’t afford on that teacher’s salary. But when you’re single, you don’t have to abide by any of those standards.
So, throw on those comfy sweat pants, order whatever the hell you want to eat for dinner, and enjoy the following awesome perks of being a single teacher, this Valentine’s Day!
