Hooray! Huzzah! Another fantastic holiday is right around the corner!
SO EXCITED.
SO EXCITED.
Just kidding. Valentine’s Day is the evil step sister of holidays. And no, I am not some bitter single person with 15 cats. Even as someone who is in a relationship, Valentine’s day still sucks. If you’re not in a relationship you end up feeling terrible about yourself. If you are in a relationship, there’s all this pressure to have a wonderful, romantic, cutsie, and adorable. The holiday has become more about giving overpriced cardstock, chocolate and expensive jewelry, but few know why we even have these “rituals”.

Things that are horrible about Valentine’s Day:
1. Cards are really expensive. Why am I paying $6 for some paper and a measly message on the inside?
Mostly naps.
Mostly naps.
2. Every restaurant is completely packed and has had reservations for weeks.
Fine. I didn't want your delicious bread sticks anyways.

3. If you’re single, it seems as if everyone is in a relationship

4. You’re supposed to get all dressed up and look flawless.
At least you think you look flawless.

5. Everyone asks you what you are doing for Valentine’s Day.
Please stop.
Please stop.
6. Getting a mixed box of chocolates in which only 2 pieces are actually good.
When you get that piece that tastes like toothpaste.

7. The cheerful messages on candy hearts.
So cheerful.
So cheerful.
8. You get judged for staying in and watching Netflix.

9. EVERYTHING IS OVERPRICED!
It's the thought that counts right?

But, there is a light at the end of the tunnel!
Eat all the candy!

I suppose we can suck it up for one more year and look forward to better things like St. Patrick’s Day.
