Are You A Valentine's Day Scrooge?

Love, love, love! February is the month seemingly dedicated to it, right?

But do you think that February 14th, the oh so holy holiday dedicated to LoOoOoOOOoVvE is overrated and overpriced? If you do, than consider yourself a Valentine’s Day Scrooge.

If you want to consider yourself a Valentine’s Day Scrooge you probably relate to some of these lovely little issues:


Eating Out? Ha! Funny Joke.

Good luck trying to get your foot in the door! Valentine's Discounts, Valentine's Dates and Valentine's Themed Nights run rampant and every single restaurant is crawling full of people and completely full of tables for two. And forget about reservations (unless you're reading this article three or four months in the past, than by all means, give it your best shot).


Too Much PDA!

We get it guys, you LoOoOoOoOVe each other! While hugging, holding hands and a peck on the check are some normal example of Public Displays of Affection, some people go to the extreme on days such as Valentine's. REMINDER: Stop sucking each other's faces out and enjoy the world around you, alright?


Dating Someone New? Yikes...Awkward

This one's pretty self-explanatory. If you've only been dating someone for a few weeks, what exactly are you supposed to do? How do you decide your budget limit for Valentine's gifts? Do you even DO Valentine's gifts at this stage?


People Question Why You're Still Single

Again, pretty self-explanatory.


Trying to Give Up Sweets? Better Luck Next Time, Kid.

Valentine's Day is basically centered around chocolate; you kind of just have to go with it or deal with it and cry into your pillow later.


"I'M GOING TO DIE ALONE"

Yeah, apparently if you don't have some sort of partner or significant other on Valentine's Day you're a completely unlovable beast with no chance of love in the future (PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD, THIS IS SARCASM). Seriously though, while many people don't feel disparaged over not having someone, a lot of people find themselves wanting a romantic relationship and having that thrown in their face for an entire 24 hours doesn't really help them.

The Sympathy Card

"Oh wow! A card? For me! I hope it's from my secret admirer, maybe it's that cute guy from. . . Oh. " That feeling when you open your post and you've got a Valentine's card can be a great feeling, great until that moment you realize it's a sympathy card from your mom or your best friend (WHICH IS STILL AN AMAZING GIFT BUT STILL).

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.
