As the month of February begins, I find that I am unable to think of anything but, love, chocolates, and teddy bears. I feel as though I am completely devoted to finding my other half. I sit in class and I think of hearts and roses as lines from The Notebook run through my head. And I just sit around and wish that this year will be the year that I finally have my dream Valentine's Day date. What a perfect holiday right? It's great because it makes every annoying single person like 10 times more annoying than usual. For example, I love logging onto Facebook and seeing a thousand posts that read, "Who wants to be my valentine ;)" and I hope they realize that the wink really does add effect. And, I'm sure someone is going to see that post and immediately respond and before you know it, you two will be spending the 14th night of the month under the stars together. Or I love how many people end up calling it 'Single Awareness Day,' this honestly never was funny but for some reason insecure people like to keep bringing it up. They post on each other's walls, "happy single awareness day!" Trying to act like they truly are happy being single. Even though you know they have thought about this day since October, scouting out any possible prospects. And it's not like it's even just a horrible holiday for single people, it's pretty dumb regardless of your relationship status. It puts pressure on what should just be another day on the calendar. Especially when it's on a week day, who has time for that? I mean I know I'm way too busy. I couldn't possibly find any free time. But seriously, I heard my Dad last week look at my mom and say, "what is a guy supposed to do for a girl on Valentine's Day?" He told her she should just go by herself something. And no he's not a die-hard romantic, but they have been married for over thirty years and my Dad still doesn't know what to do for Valentine's day. That's because it's a stupid holiday. And I wish we could fast-forward through it, just so I wouldn't have to hear people complain about it. And yes, I know I just wrote down a whole page of complaints, but that's why we should stop celebrating it all together. I wouldn't complain from hearing everyone else's complaints. Really everyone would win. Besides maybe Saint Valentine? Whoever he was anyway? Or maybe Cupid, but he goes around shooting people, so I don't think he should have any say in this argument.
