(The title is a lie. I just thought it would be more interesting than "Valentine's day". Plus it's a cool song.)
Most people in the world have one of two opinions about Valentine's day-they hate it or they love it. For those that love valentine's day, good for you. For those that hate valentine's day, continue reading. Valentine's day began to be about love in the 15th century, specifically courtly love. It has slowly become a holiday in which romantics show their gratitude towards each other. It is characterized in American society by big balloons, expensive dinners, and awful candy. People in relationships love it; people not in relationships like it less.
I've never had an awesome valentine's day, but I would never hate on a day which brings people joy. I've had friends who have had their share of awesome valentine's days and I think that's just swell. The most famous thing Marie Antoinette never said, "Let them eat cake." I think it's a fine holiday that makes some people happy.
Basically this is the outline-ish of an Opinion Editorial that I'm too lazy to right right now. But if I did write it it would be awesome because of the skills I've learned in my writing 150 class.
Unrelated-check out "Five Years Time" by Noah and the Whale.
Good Song. Stuck in my head. FTW
edit-towards---no apostrophe
honestly, what's the big deal? it's not like someone died....
ReplyDeleteoh wait....
yeah they did
Just thought I'd comment and say the Noah & The Whale is a fantastic band. There's a pretty neat remix of Five Years Time and Asher Roth's song 'I Love College' that you might like if you like Asher Roth haha
ReplyDeleteThe song is actually called 'Fun at College'. My bad!
DeleteAlex- haha. Good one :)
ReplyDeleteRachel- I don't know them. However, I have Spotify and unlimited access to every song ever made. So I'll check them out. Sweet! And I love Noah and the Whale; my roommate got me hooked.
I feel indifferent about valentines day and to show that this year all I did was write an 8 page paper, take a test, and ate some chocolate kisses. Nothing better....
ReplyDeleteWe had cleaning checks for Valentines day...
ReplyDeleteI worked the night shift on Valentine's Day. And got stuck outside my dorm because some heathen burnt brownies in the basement.
DeleteCleaning checks, papers, and burnt brownies sound really lame... Sorry guys.
