6 Things Nobody Wants for Valentine's Day
Morgan Shaffer

Listen, I love Valentine's Day as much as the next girl but I am so OVER these cliche gifts. Can we please create some variety or at least see some creativity? I can't be the only one sick of the same old, same old gifts.

1. Giant stuffed bear

Okay, this is cute for the first like 2 weeks, and then what the heck do you do with that thing? Where do you store it? It won't fit in your bed and you definitely don't want to throw it away. I have had this bear tucked in my closet for 3 years... WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS BEAR!?

2. Box of chocolates

This is sweet but there is such terrible variety of chocolates and no one really wants those weird combinations so you end up eating 2 from the box and letting them get hard and gross. May I suggest chocolate cupcakes, chocolate donuts, or a hot cocoa bar instead?

3. A bouquet of roses

Here's a thought, find out what your S.O.'s fav flower is and get them a bouquet of THAT.

4. Lingerie

I mean really? What a waste. And what's the point?

5.  Jewelry

And specifically, heart-themed jewelry. Get your S.O. something they will wear every day and something they will truly love, not just heart.

6. Fragrance

While it's a nice gesture, most people want to pick out their own smell, since, ya know, they'll be smelling it all day.

I challenge you to step outside Valentine's normalities this year and get your S.O. things they really want.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
