February is around the corner, which means the grocery store aisles are stocked with chocolates, teddy bears, and red and pink roses for any secret admirer to give their valentine. I’d be lying if I said that Valentine’s Day isn’t one of my favorite holidays. An excuse to make paper hearts, chocolate-covered strawberries, and spoil my friends with lovely gifts? Yes please. Love is in the air after all.
Between work, school, and the constantly-busy schedule of a college student, it’s hard for me to find the time to be festive and get excited for these special days on the calendar.
