Báo Thanh niên•11/11/2024
November 11 is also known as Singles Day. This is an opportunity for single young people to meet, have fun, and erase the sadness of not having found their "other half"...
Don't feel sad if you don't have a lover.
Han Ngoc Khanh Linh, a student at Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics, said that on this year's Singles' Day, she went out with friends and bought herself a delicious cake. "Whether it's Singles' Day or not, I will still study hard and work to the best of my ability. After that, I spend time having dinner with my family," Linh said.

Khanh Linh said that for those who already have a "better half", there will be a series of happy days in the year such as Valentine's Day, couples' anniversary... However, single people like Linh do not have many special holidays. Therefore, Linh is determined to experience a normal singles' day in the most complete way. The girl believes that sometimes happiness is simply being true to yourself. And don't pursue love too much, just sit still and love will come. "If you don't have a lover, don't feel sorry for yourself. Learn to love yourself and someone will come to love you," Linh said. Pham Gia Phu, a student at Ho Chi Minh City Polytechnic College, plans to spend a whole singles' day to... reward himself. Gia Phu will go shopping, go to the cinema to watch the latest movie, go to the amusement park, camp in Thu Duc City and have coffee with friends... In his free time, the guy will hunt for sales on e-commerce platforms. 11.11 is double day, so many stores are launching "huge" promotions.

Single but not lonely
Thang Jeckli, real name Phan Van Thang (21 years old), a student at Ho Chi Minh City University of Culture, said that normally people would spend Singles' Day watching movies alone or going to bed... However, Thang wants to spend that time improving his finances and especially not letting himself fall into a feeling of loneliness.

"In the process of finding love, each person will have their own point of view. But I'm not too concerned about having to find it, because if it's meant to be, it will come. This doesn't mean I don't want love, but first of all I want to develop, cultivate, perfect myself and believe that good things will come," Thang said. This guy is not too sad about being single, because there is still a lot of joy around. Thang is also confident that he is handsome and not afraid of being single. Therefore, Thang wants to send a message to those who are lonely on Singles' Day: "Don't be sad. Create joy for yourself, take care of yourself and develop yourself more." Nguyen Pham Xuan Thy (25 years old), working at YKVN Law Firm, Ho Chi Minh City, believes that on Singles' Day, adults definitely still have to go to work and meet deadlines. The girl prioritizes her work. At the end of the day, Thy plans to buy a book for herself in the evening, and practice treating herself well.

"I think finding love is similar to finding a job. The most important thing is whether you can do it every day or not? Can you live, meet, and talk to that person every day? All the romance, excitement, and initial passion will eventually pass, but accepting each other's "normal" every day is the only way to be together for a long time," Thy said. Tran Viet Ha, a student at FPT University in Ho Chi Minh City, spent all his time working on deadlines and participating in club activities on this special day. Ha thinks he is single because his fate has not come yet.

"Before I went to college, I really didn't want a boyfriend. But when I became a student, I changed a little. I started wanting a boyfriend to cuddle with. However, the person who liked me, I didn't like. And the person I liked, they didn't like me. That's why I'll spend a lot of time improving myself, loving myself... Who knows, maybe next year on Singles' Day, I'll have a boyfriend," Ha said.
