the do's and don'ts of valentine's day

happy valentine's day!! valentine's day is definitely one of those holidays where either everyone loves or everyone hates. for me, i'm not a big fan of it, but when people give you cupcakes, how can you say no? {s/o to maddie for those scrumptious red velvet cupcakes!} 

do accept free sweets from people. like cupcakes, chocolate, sweethearts, whatever the weather... 

don't watch sappy nicholas sparks' movies. they will make you want a significant other and make you bawl because {spoiler alert} someone ends up dying. 

do find funny valentine's day cards on tumblr. they are hilarious. 

don't get overly excited. it's just a holiday. tomorrow it will be a brand new day. 

do have fun making fun of the holiday. watch nicholas sparks movies and say, “this will never happen in real life!” or watch valentine's day and completely burst out laughing because it may exactly be your life. {there's a lot of scenarios in that movie}

and now, please enjoy a poem written by me and my friends in creative writing! {it's too great}

Flowers delivered,

tulips the color of a

bruised sunset,

with a note attached--

"Meet me."

She had planned to

spend the evening

eating Nutella and

and watching Netflix--

Her only companion,

her cat. 

But things had taken 

a shocking turn. She

now had a reason to

shave her legs, for once.

Just one more hour 

surfing the net hunting

for sweaters for her cat,

she told herself for the

third time. Or she thought

it was the third time. She 

lost count.

She was already ten

minutes late when 

she arrived, out of

breath and red faced--

There was her mother,

waving furiously from

a bench, sitting uncomfortably

close to a couple passionately

making out. 

Thank god she didn't shave her legs.

so, i am hoping you have a good valentine's day whatever you plan on doing!
