Valentine’s Day, who is this holiday for? Do people love it or hate it? What do people do? Valentine’s Day is a time when people show feelings of love, affection and friendship. It is celebrated in many ways worldwide and falls on Feb. 14 each year.
Many people around the world celebrate Valentine’s Day by showing appreciation for the people they love or adore. Some people take their loved ones for a romantic dinner at a restaurant while others may choose this day to propose or get married. Many people give greeting cards, chocolates, jewelry or flowers, particularly roses, to their partners or admirers on Valentine’s Day.
What do Cabrini students think of Valentines Day? “I hate Valentines Day. Even being in a relationship, I thought it was pointless. I believe that you should show your love for you significant other everyday, not just one day out of the year. I would rather go out in the city with my girlfriends and have a good time than go out on a romantic dinner with a guy,” said Junior, Morgan Burns.
Many people think Valentine’s Day is just for two groups of people, but that’s false. People think it is only for people who are dating but not in a committed relationship yet; Valentines Day gives them a chance to go all out for a day when they otherwise may feel uncomfortable. It provides a day when people can get mushy with each other, test the waters, see if the relationship is at that point yet. If it is, good, but if its not, if can be changed on Feb. 14th, the day of love.
Valentine’s Day is for people who are crushing on someone and for them to express it or show it in little ways. If students feel awkward telling someone how they feel about them face to face, shoot them a text or give them a gift card. A student could do this on any average day but on Valentine’s Day it wont seem out of place.
If somebody is single on Valentine’s day also, they don’t have to hate their life and be depressed all day, like every girl out there, anyone can do little things. If a student is not spending their dough on some guy, might as well spend it on yourself. Who even needs a Valentine when girls have great girlfriends? Girls can Round up some friends, draw names from a hat and buy whomever you draw a little something. Then on V-Day, meet at a friend’s dorm room or house, to exchange gifts. Afterwards get all dolled up and enjoy a night out at Cabrini. In the end a majority of students are poor college kids, throw a party and invite everyone over for a few drinks.
