Why Valentine's Day SUCKS!!!!

By Micah Fabarez

                In my opinion Valentine’s Day is one of the most worthless holidays that we celebrate in the United States of America. We, as a nation, could have picked any number of better things to have a holiday for! Come on, we could have a holiday for a much better reason than “love.” It has conditioned the women of our society to expect a gift for Valentine’s Day. They think that if they do not get a gift on Valentine’s Day, then they aren’t loved. I just think that in a relationship there should not be a day of the year where the guy gets the girl a valentines present. Instead the guy should be original and be giving gifts on other days and not be obligated to get gifts on only one day of the year. The whole concept is nice, but if you think about it, the guy should be giving gifts as a show of love way more than just one time a year. Hopefully I’m not in the minority on that opinion, but the amount of guys that do not appreciate and love their girlfriend or wife is depressingly on the rise. Plus, the surprise of an unexpected gift would make it even better for both involved in my opinion! I think the expectation for the guy has grown into something that wasn’t originally intended by whoever created this awful holiday!  However this is just my opinion and doesn’t represent the view of what a girl would think about valentine’s day.
