Valentine’s Day has come and gone, and students in a relationship and those who are single have come forward with their stories.

Easton Huff, a history major at Georgia Southern University, took his girlfriend out for a nice day downtown, first to Two Story Books, a bookstore and coffeehouse, and then to an antique shop named Charlie’s Funky Junk Shop. Then they stopped by Galactic Comic Shop, rounding out the day with some comic books and games. Overall, Huff enjoyed the night, and said that he would’ve asked only that it would have been longer.

A similar case was Justin Grethouse, an exercise science major, who said, “I just got my girlfriend everything she wanted. Over the course of us talking, she mentioned she liked a couple things. So I just went ahead and got them that. We watched a movie and ate some food together. It was nice.” When asked about what to get for their significant other for Valentine’s Day, he said, “You just got to listen, because they’re gonna speak on what they want or what they like. Usually I am able to listen through passing because they are gonna tell you what they want.”

Lastly, Maya Brown, an English and Philosophy major, said that she didn’t spend Valentine’s Day with anyone, as she was working. When talking about what people who aren’t in relationships during Valentine’s Day should do, she said, “Valentine’s Day isn’t just for relationships. It’s not just for significant others, it’s for relationships of all kinds. So if you have friends or family, spend your time with them.”

To sum it up, Valentine’s Day can be spent in many different ways, and it’s important to find a way to enjoy it, no matter your circumstances. Whether with partners, friends, or family, Valentine’s Day is about love in all its forms.
