Valentine’s Day is the holiday when stuffed teddy bears and heart shaped chocolate boxes hit the stores, all of your Facebook friends become engaged or in a relationship, and love is on everybody’s mind. So why all the hype about Valentine’s Day? Sure, chocolate is delicious and feeling loved is a great time, but why so much enthusiasm celebrating love? It’s just a capitalistic holiday on an ordinary day, Feb. 14th. So, here are the best parts of Valentine’s Day.

1. Taking photos with the ridiculously, over-sized teddy bears at every store known to man

2. Seeing everyone scrambling to find the “perfect” gift for that “special someone”

3. Chocolate is everywhere

4. The increase of jewelry commercials on television… with those annoying jingles that always seem to stick in your head

5. The heart shaped filters on Snapchat to show your friends just how much you love them while sending embarrassing pictures that could be used as blackmail later on

6. Seeing flowers and edible arrangements being delivered almost every day

7. Searching Pinterest for clever/romantic Valentine's ideas

8. Your Facebook news feed is covered with name quizzes with titles like “Who your 2016 Valentine Will Be” or “What does February 14th hold for you”

9. And, best of all, though not on Valentine’s Day, but the days after: all of the leftover Valentine’s chocolate goes on sale for the best price
