Sometimes the holiday of love can turn into a not so great time. Whether you are single, talking to someone, or in a relationship, sometimes Valentine's Day can just plain suck. Breakups, bad gifts, or horrible gestures are just some of the things that can happen any day but, becomes worse on February 14th.

Here are nine people's Valentine's Day experiences which are definitely the worst:

1. Spongebob and a rap

"One Valentine's Day my boyfriend invited me to his apartment for a home dinner date. When I got there, the apartment was all done out in Spongebob Valentine's Day decorations, EVERYWHERE. Then after dinner as a "gift," he created a Valentine's Day rap, which was horrible and left me with no idea how to react." - anonymous

2. Parents got home early.

"A couple years ago I made my boyfriend dinner at home while my parents went out for Valentine's Day dinner. They told us when they would be home, so we planned accordingly. Fast forward to making out half-naked on the couch and my parents burst through the door. Never threw a blanket over myself so darn quick." - anonymous

3. Dog ate all my cookies.

"My boyfriend had some favorite kinds of cookies. So one year I made him three of his favorites and wrapped them all pretty and festive. He loved the gift and put it on his bedside table to enjoy, After the gift exchange we went to dinner and when we got back, every single one of the cookies was gone, the dog had eaten them. They called the vet freaking out thinking their dog was going to be sick, but thankfully he was totally okay." - anonymous

4. Expected a feel up.

"My boyfriend at the time got me the normal high school Valentine's Day gifts—the chocolate, the bear, and then flowers. We went out to dinner and then came back to watch a movie. As we are watching the movie he starts to make a move. I was like, let's not and he argued back saying that he gave me a good Valentine's Day with gifts and food and I should be comfortable enough with him feeling me up. Safe to say it didn't last long after that." - anonymous

5. Paid for gift AND dinner.

"Had me make the reservations for dinner, since he was too lazy. Then had me buy the ring I wanted with my gift card and had me pay for dinner with another gift card. Never split or even paid for his own gift to me." - anonymous

6. Boyfriend gave me a bag of cheese.

"Three years of dating. For Valentine's Day, I got a bag of cheese. Worse part, it wasn't even good cheese." - anonymous

7. Lingerie was "cool."

"I spent about $60 on a pretty lingerie set for Valentine's Day. Got all done up and put it on to show him, walked out and his response was 'that's cool.' Even gave him a second chance and said 'isn't the back pretty?' and he said 'yeah that's cool too.'" - anonymous

8. Got the same gift as other girlfriend.

"One year my high school best friend and I were hanging out on Valentine's Day together. Later in the day, my boyfriend stopped over to give me a gift. Little did I know he was also dating my friend I was with and had come there to give both of us our gifts at the same time. To top it off it was the same ugly bear from CVS." - anonymous

9. We broke up

"Literally broke up with me on Valentine's Day." - anonymous

10. Nothing.

"Got absolutely nothing for a gift." - anonymous

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
