V-Day at PBA

Roses are red, violets are blue, and Valentine ’s Day at PBA, has a different view. Although there were many distinctive Valentine’s Day activities this week at Palm Beach Atlantic University, such as a “Sweethearts Dinner” by the Fresh Food Company (caf) for guys willing to dish out some cash, to the “I Hate Valentine’s Day Party” at the Southside campus for those bitter single upperclassmen.  The biggest hit for Valentine’s Day, for lovers and friends alike, was the epic love story in theatres called “The Vow,” with heartthrobs Channing Tatum (Dear John) and Rachel McAdams(The Notebook).  It’s no accident that "The Vow's" release date coincided almost perfectly with Valentine's Day.  Overall, most PBA students, usually girls, chose to enjoy Valentine’s Day in their own special way.

However, as I said before, whether or not you had a secret admirer, like my roommate who received a giant teddy bear and sunflowers, Valentine’s Day holds a greater meaning to most girls at PBA.  I actually enjoyed the holiday, with the majority of my friends and family sending appreciative cards or treats to brighten the day.  Most sailfish women try to ignore the stereotypical relationship PBA pressures, such as the traditional “Ring by Spring” standard.  There are definitely plenty of “sailfish” in the sea for the girls here at PBA.  Valentine’s Day at PBA isn’t just another holiday to celebrate or to hate. Valentine’s Day did have the typical events, along with both the sweet candy and the bitter thoughts. However, it didn’t end up being as cheesy of a holiday that it’s ordinarily made out to be.

How did you spend V-Day?
