My Valentine’s Day was quite boring; I had classes all day and then ate a meal with some of my friends, but it wasn’t a celebration or anything like that. Campus was flooded with girls walking around with flowers and guys holding flowers and boxes of chocolates to give to their significant others. Delivery services like “Tiff’s Treats” had couriers all across campus for those in long distance relationships or if they were too lazy to plan ahead. Couples gleamed with joy and walked across campus like it was middle school when the most exciting thing to do was hold a boy’s hand. For them the day was full of flowers, chocolates and red colored gifts. Instagram was flooded with “Happy Valentines Day! I love you” with a collage of pictures on stories or as posts. Snapchat was also taken over by the Valentines Day pictures. In all, it seemed like a whole lot of stress for everyone involved.

I will take option B. The single people with not a care in the world because today was just like any other day for them. Their looks of not being bothered in the slightest and ignoring all the antics of Valentines Day and simply spending time with close girl or guy friends. No pressure for the perfect present, the perfect card, the perfect dinner.  No agonizing over the appropriate social media post, or the picture that best displays “the happy couple.” Just an ordinary day with a little laughter and a whole lot of wine.
