Go Big for Valentine’s Day or Keep It Simple

Valentine’s Day is a day people celebrate their special someone and love ones. They are taken out, surprised with gifts, or ask the big question “Will you marry me?”

Well for me, Valentine’s Day didn’t go that way.

Four days before Valentine I met my guy friend, Chris. We began conversing amongst one another and getting to know one another. Therefore, getting a gift or going out was not on my mind or “to do” list. However, we did do something small.

We went out with my friends to Wal-Mart and Zaxyb’s. Nothing major just something slight. When my friends and I went to Wal-Mart Chris stopped at the arcade grab it machine. Inside were teddy bears and other stuff animals.

 He pulled out a dollar and put it in the machine. He slowly proceeds to pick up the object and move it towards the drop bin. Before I knew it Chris won me a bright pink stuff fish.

My Valentine was complete. After that one grab I felt like I have found my valentine.

Voorhees College also celebrated Valentines Day. Cafe surprised the students with Valentine cookies and cupcakes. Also, the men of Alpha Phi Alpha sold Valentine Day baskets in advance to give out on the 14th. Therefore, I was not the only one who had a great Valentine Day, many of Voorhees students were show how much they were appreciated. 

I never really celebrated Valentine’s Day until that day. I never really had a Valentine, but yesterday was the best. However, I say all this to say.

Remember the small things mean the most. It’s not about the expensive gifts, unexpected surprises; it is about the thought that counts. Being in college and having a valentine or not having one is difficult, especially seeing others with one.
