On The Prowl: How most of us feel about Valentine's Day

Logan Carter went On The Prowl to ask EGHS students how they feel about Valentine's Day.

Valentine’s Day: A day for love and happiness? Or a day for bitterness and sadness?

Not to my surprise, I was met with many rolled eyes when I asked the question, "Do you have a Valentine?"

Question: "Do you have a valentine?"

No: 9

Yes: 3

6 out of the 12 feel that Valentine's Day is overrated! (while the other 6 think it is not).

While Valentines Day is supposed to be about love, it seems to me that many of us dread it. Is it because they don’t have a significant other? Or is it because they believe the emphasis is on the significant other and not the love in general? I would like to believe that I don’t need to feel so bitter because I don’t have a significant other to share this holiday with. Instead, think about all of the people in your life that love you- friends, family, and pets. Spend this day with them!! Go out to eat with a friend, buy your mom chocolates, or even buy yourself chocolates.
