Valentine’s Day Expectations vs. Reality

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Arkansas chapter.

For those of you in relationships, Valentine’s Day is a day filled with love, chocolate, and cuddles. But for the rest of us, it’s a day of failed expectations.

Receiving cute gifts

Expectation:

Reality:

Just go ahead and drown your sorrows.

Going to parties

Expectation:

Reality:

Forever alone

 

Going on a romantic date

Expectation:

Reality:

As much pizza as you can physically eat

Valentine’s night

Expectation:

 

Reality:

Lets all just go ahead and assume that Valentine’s Day will never turn out like our expectations. So grab yourself a bottle of wine and a chick flick, and hopefully it will be over before you know it.
