Question of the Week: Valentines 2019 Edition
It’s Valentines Day on campus and love is in the air, or is it? We sat down with students this past week to get their opinion on Valentines Day.
Are you excited for Valentines Day?
Craig Gregg, psychology freshman |“I heckin’ love Valentines Day. I get candy, flowers and presents. I really love teddy bears. I already saw one at Walmart I want.”
Gracie Payne, math junior |“I just love Valentines because of all the love that goes around. It’s just always so happy and joyful.”
Angelica Villarreal, Spanish sophomore |“Yeah, I’ll probably go out to the movies with friends.”
Chrysa Jacobs, art senior |“No, I don’t like Valentines Day because I have a bad memory of when my brother almost died [on Valentines Day].”
