Every girl is different, but in my opinion, Valentine's day can be kinda overrated.

I understand that most girls look forward to the gifts, chocolates, flowers, or even jewelry. I also have been that kind of girl, so I don't blame anyone. Over the years, I have realized that it isn't the gifts that matter, it's the person you are spending the day with. Whether it is your girl friends, your best friend, or significant other, spending the day with someone or the person you love is just as great as flowers or a giant teddy bear. Now ladies trust me, I love all of the sweet, romantic things just as much as the next girl, but I've realized I don't need any of it to be happy on Valentine's Day.

On a college student's budget, Valentine's Day may be a little bit more difficult. I have thought of some fun, cute, romantic ideas that may be just as great as a fancy planned out day.

1. Go to lunch together

Go out for a nice lunch together and enjoy each other's time! Being with the person you love can brighten up anyone's day.

2. Go for ice cream

I mean who doesn't love ice cream?

3. Binge watch Netflix and order in

If this doesn't sound like a nice, relaxing way to enjoy Valentine's Day, then I don't know what does.

4. Grab dinner

Basically the same idea as grabbing lunch, with some more ways to make it a romantic evening.

Sometimes it is the little things that count. If you are a guy and cannot afford the expensive stuff and want to do something special, your local grocery store will definitely have cheap flowers, cards, and teddy bears. A small gesture is just as great and meaningful as a big one. Take it from a girl!
