Spend some time to just love yourself By Christopher Avery Lance Writer February 11, 2009 I don’t have any feelings about Valentines Day. Even when I was younger, the process of making the cards to be passed around to each student in elementary school was the best part. It seems like these days, Valentines Day has become a make or break moment. The moment, in which you either go the nine yards, spend a fortune, impress your lover for a few hours, and then regret it the next day. Or you can break the moment by deploring this day of love and passion, this holiday specifically about cherishing your loved ones, and pretend there was never such a thing as Valentines Day. I know what I would choose, but this is for the cherished readers who just thrive on the information of breaking news. >> | Perhaps V-Day is more about convincing yourself that you are loved By Chris Kerr Lance Writer February 11, 2009 Victor Hugo said that “Life’s greatest happiness is to be convinced we are loved.” Now, whether or not there was any hidden malice in this claim, I believe that Hugo’s words should inspire us this Valentine’s Day. It seems to me that as I grow older, the stomach aches from too much heart-shaped chocolate we received when we were kids are replaced with stomach aches even more severe. Stomach aches from listening to people jabber on about how much they hate Valentine’s Day. Stomach aches from hearing about ex-lovers, vexed dates, and hexed hopes about finding true love. While the passion-pessimists moan at you from one side, the anti-corporation Hallmark haters wail at the other. >>  | | Campus Kiss | |
