Valentine's Day: OVERRATED

What better to spend Valentine's Day on submitting homework that took hours upon hours of painstaking tedium to complete? Well... eh, perhaps that's just my own problem. But still, there are other reasons why Valentine's Day is HORRIBLY OVERRATED:

  • Single men above the age of 21 (19 if you live in Canadia) can drink their Valentine's Day away in a conveniently placed tavern somewhere near their homes. They can freely stumble home and forget that the day even happened. HOWEVER, if you have a high alcohol tolerance and/or you are below the age of 21, what is there to do? Nothing.
  • There's only so many "original" places that you can go to with whoever.
  • It's a waste of money! Flowers? Fuck that! I need money to feed myself.
  • There are, however, tons of those candy heart things that taste great. Too bad they're all filled with cliché phrases that elicit some sort of canned reaction.
But eh, who knows, maybe it's just the bitter single side of me that's saying this.

Valentine's Day still sucks, though.
