Survey Says: Valentine’s Day Edition

We all know that getting gifts for your significant other on Valentine’s Day can be extremely ridiculous. With this in mind, 100 people were asked what they would most like to receive for Valentine’s Day. They responded with 5, well really 6, different answers.

1) Chocolate

The number one answer that I received from this survey was chocolate. There was no specification as to which chocolate they would like and so I shall assume they just want generic chocolate. You can never go wrong with the Russell Stover chocolate boxes.

2) Food

The second highest answer was food. Many suggest going out the day after Valentine’s Day and enjoying the lower priced food. Others just want things like the *amazing* chicken mini tray from Chick-fil-a. Food, we all know, is the best way to someone’s heart or well, their stomach at least.

3) Heartfelt Time

To me, this is important all the time but even more so on Valentine’s Day. The third answer that the survey received was quality time. Your significant other is dating you for a reason. They probably really enjoy just being in your presence. However, aside from just having “cuddle time”, you can also take the time to plan out a fun date, write a thoughtful card, or even show them how much you love them through song. If Disney can do it, we can do it!

4) Flowers

Some people think that this one should be higher on the list but, it seems a bit cliché at times. The fourth response was flowers. Again, not too many people were specific on types but the majority of those asked suggested roses. Personally, I would like to receive carnations since they are more original than the typical roses. If you want to get your significant other roses, by all means do but try to make it special. Red roses seem to be unoriginal. Change the colors of the leaves by placing them in colored water. If you’re really talented, you can get it to swirl.

5) Stuffed Animals and Staying Single

Lastly, these two items were tied. Stuffed animals are wanted by pretty much everyone no matter your age. Build-a-Bear has influenced us all and is surprisingly found to be rather meaningful. Unless your significant other says otherwise, I would avoid the giant stuffed animals. Or you may have a romantic plan involving them. In that case, go ahead. Some people just want to stay single and alone on Valentine’s Day. They take their freedom very seriously and want it to stay that way. I have spent many a year with my grandmother as my valentine and, I love her very much but, I think it would be nice to get something from someone I am not related to.

Stay safe this Valentine’s Day and remember that love is what this holiday is about. Valentine’s Day doesn’t define who you are as a person and it shouldn’t be where you focus all your energy. Everyone is beautiful and everyone is loved.

“All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.”-Charles M. Schulz

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
