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).

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
