As a female growing up in the 21st century, I'm supposed to be head over heels for Valentine's Day. All the romantic things; flowers, candy, love. All of it is supposed to make one glittery and feeling high as the clouds for one day of the year, but what really is the point? I'm not one who is into super girly things anyway, but why must we only be extra loving and caring to our significant others one day out of the year? Isn't the point of loving someone unconditionally to love him or her that way all of the time?

Here are some ways you can love your significant other through simple, every day actions.

1. Clean their room.

This one might only be something I do for Avery, but you know..A clean room is always a great room.

2. Do their laundry.

I'm kind of the freak here because I love doing laundry, but if I didn't have to, I know I would appreciate it.

3. Plan a date that you know that person will love.

For example, I love Pokemon, so going card shopping is a fun date for me.

4. Make sure their devices are charged/charging.

There's literally nothing worse to a 21st century young adult than waking up to a dead phone.

5. Watch their favorite movie or listen to their favorite music even if it's not something you like.

Just because you're dating someone doesn't mean you have to love or even like every single thing that person likes, but it is worth trying out his or her things. You never know; you may end up liking some of it. *cough cough* My new appreciation for Devin Townsend.

Remember this Valentine's that every day should be a Valentine's without all the so-called "romance."
