6 Things That Bother People Who Hate Valentine's Day

I suppose that everyone has to hate at least one holiday in their lifetime. For some, it's Christmas. For others, its Halloween. I even met someone who hated Easter once. For me (and many others) it's Valentine's Day. If you're one of the many others, you'll be able to relate to these 6 struggles.

1. People asking "why"

I don't know why. I just hate it. No, I'm not bitter about it. No, it doesn't have to do with my current relationship status. I just don't like it. Every time someone asks, the voice in my head says "not again!"


2. All of the social media posts

I'm just as guilty as the next person for posting a picture of myself with my boyfriend, but I try to avoid scrolling through my Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter every February 14th so I won't have to spend all of that time looking at pictures of everyone who is in a relationship.



3. The pink, purple, and red EVERYWHERE

Pink, purple, and red are all great colors - just not together. Unfortunately, Valentine's Day is all about putting them together. The ocular suffering is prolonged because we don't have another holiday that we decorate for between New Year's and V Day.


4. People talking about their Valentine's Day plans endlessly

I get it. You're going to dinner at a fancy restaurant. You're going to give each other chocolates and flowers before declaring your undying love for each other in an aforementioned social media post. Inevitably, I end up hearing this story 50 times before the day actually comes.


5. Fake people only celebrating love because of the holiday

People who never spread love are suddenly talking about loving everyone, sharing the love, and all of those other ideas that are easy to say but hard to do. Couples should love each other and treat other like royalty every day, not just one day a year.


6. Being expected to love the holiday of love

This one is big, especially if you're in a relationship and therefore have a Valentine. Having someone to celebrate with does not automatically mean that someone loves the holiday. It doesn't mean that there's any less love for your Valentine; it just means you don't care about having a holiday to celebrate that love.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
