What Your Valentine's Day Plans In College Park Say About You

Ah, Valentine's Day. The day people who are single love to remind you that they're single and people who are in relationships love to tell you they're taken. College Park has a plethora of options when it comes to Valentine's Day plans, and they say a lot about you.

1. North or South Campus Diner

You're a freshman. And broke. So broke that there's a good chance your parents are technically paying for this date since it's on your meal plan. Have fun with unseasoned food.

2. McDonald's

You tell your friends you're going to McDonald's tonight with some person and your friends ask what's wrong with you because it's Valentine's Day. You tell them "It's not a date." Yeah, okay. You hate labels to the point of being annoying and/or will go out of your way to be quirky. "Roses? Nah, I'm not like OTHER girls and I just want nugs." Give me a break.

3. Chipotle/Noodles & Company/Panda Express/Jason's Deli/Other Fast-Casual Restaurants

Definitely a step-up from McDonald's.You're sneaky though because it's better than normal fast food, but it's easier to bow out of not footing the bill than at a sit down restaurant. You conveniently take too long to put away your change or card until your date has paid for their own food. "Oh I could've paid!" Sure.

5. Applebee's or Other Sit-Down Restaurants

You fancy, huh? "Applebee's isn't a real date" is a sentence uttered by people who don't get asked out. It's much harder to avoid pretending to be interested in contributing to the cost of your date's meal. What an adrenaline rush. Sure Applebee's has been accused of microwaving their steaks, but at least you don't have to say "Do you want to come to The Diner on Valentine's Day with me?"

6. Take-Out

Either you're looking for a chill night with your significant other or you're single. If you're single, you're probably watching re-runs of The Bachelor or some cheesy rom-coms that may or may not involve amnesia and/or someone joining the military. Either way, I don't judge.

7. Cornerstone or Looney's

You're looking for a chill-ish night out. You're with a group of friends people watching and probably judging everyone while you're eating a crab pretzel and nursing your drink. At some point of the night, you say "Who needs boys/girls?"

8. Bent's or Turf

You're going to say you're going there on Valentine's Day. You're definitely 100% not in a committed relationship. Maybe you're swiping through Tinder at the bar. Actually not maybe, definitely. Like the Cornerstone and Looney's patrons, you're also saying "Who needs boys/girls?" but in a much more sloppy way. Live your best lives, Bent's and Turf patrons.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
