I take comfort in the fact that I have plenty of fun as a single guy in university. This will obviously depend on how you like to live your single life, searching for a girlfriend or searching for fun. But I don't even think about that stuff during the break, I get to see all my high school friends again for a week or two and live it up.

You're welcome for bringing you and many others back to reality and understanding the gravity of the situation.

Rich. Don't have to spend a sh** ton of money on gifts.

By not being single, you'd only have to spend money on 1 gift for your gf/bf, so like 50 to 100 bucks? That makes you and all the other people who liked your post feel rich? Sounds like you're poorly rationalizing being single.

Haven't updated it, will do later.

... I cried a little.

What gravity of the situation. It's not like you're saying "You're going to your friend's wedding. Now that all your friends are married, how does it feel being single?" or "Happy 40th birthday! How's it feel to have never been married?" The gravity of the situation is that the Earth will make its closets approach to the sun, just like every year, the winter solstice will occur, just like every year, and many people will be single. Why make such a big deal about this when we don't give as much attention to being in a relationship during the summer solstice, or either equinox? I mean, it's not even like it's Valentines day, and even then, what if you're single? It's just 1/365.25 days! Big deal!
Guess what happens if you're single on Christmas. I'll tell you: pretty much nothing. It's not like you're going to care if you kiss someone under the mistletoe or during a summer night. There's no correlation between the importance of a relationship and the date!

You say that, but at the end of the day, people associate Christmas (the entire winter, even) and Valentines as days which are amplified in enjoyment if you have a significant other to share them with. This is shown by the majority of posts in this thread, where users either are extremely bitter and try to rationalize them being single or agree and realize just how depressing it is to be single during this time of the year.

<sarcasm>

Yeah I'm going to sleep on the couch because my bed reminds me how lonely I am.

</sarcasm>

Just kidding, I'm seeing someone.

The only reason for this is that people make it a big deal for themselves. I understand how people got the idea that Valentines day is important for couples, but I don't have any idea how the solstice holidays became associated with relationships. There's no real reason that people should care about relationships more now than a month ago, but for some reason, they do, and because they do, they hate being alone this time of year. I've never associated this time of year with relationships - and my first ever kiss was late December. As for Valentines Day, I honestly care more about the candy than anything else. The rest of Valentines Day is about people decorating everything with shapes resembling a woman's butt while she bends over.
The only possible reason I could see for people associating these times of year with relationships is that mating season is in spring, and you'd want to have a mate for reproduction; but even that isn't really valid because anthropologists are pretty sure that human's don't have a mating season.
If you feel upset that you're alone on Christmas, ask yourself this question: "Why should I care more about being alone today than about being alone on September 8?" (You can substitute September 8 with any date on the calendar, including February 29).

This.
I have a boyfriend, but Christmas usually means I ignore him for two weeks to spend time with family and friends I don't normally get to see, and to have some stress free partying.
