Can you feel the love tonight? 

With love in the air and roses all around, many young people in couples have set sky-high expectations for Valentine’s Day. The school celebrates with a spirit week to recognize the most important holiday for one’s love life.

Valentine’s Day seems to fill the delusional minds of many students, as people hope that maybe just maybe a cute girl or guy in class will ask them to be their Valentine.

The Valentine’s Day expectations seem to be a divider between students all around campus. Feb.14 creates expectations for students, with the pressure of posting any Valentine’s Day gifts from a significant other or Galentines celebrations to show that even if you are not dating anyone, at least you have close friends. 

Being single on Valentine’s Day may seem like a total nightmare due to Instagram stories highlighting the perfect gifts that everyone but you has received, serving countless reminders of why being single on Valentine’s Day isn’t the best option. 

The culture of being someone’s Valentine ends with the thought of having romantic feelings for them. The multiple movies serve as a dream for many students to experience what Noah did for Allie in The Notebook.
