Valentine’s Day is So Overrated

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Wisconsin chapter.
Christmas was hard we cannot doubt that
You were alone and all those cookies made you fat
New Year’s was definitely hard
You don’t get a kiss if you’re a piece of lard 
 
Being alone in the holiday season blows 
But Valentine’s Day is the worst, everyone knows 
The commercial holiday all about love 
And you’re watching Netflix scarfing down a box of Dove 
 
You tell yourself its okay to be alone
That boys today wear too much cologne 
You know you shouldn’t panic 
For Leonardo Dicapriao is young and hot in Titanic
 
You start to realize there are treats to cook 
That you’ll find someone as good as Ryan Gosling from The Notebook
If you’re a bird some other guy will think he is too 
You’ll get that huge white house with the amazing view 
 
The more cookies you scarf down 
The more you can see yourself in a wedding gown 
Reality hits when the ice cream is all gone 
The movies have ended but your life will go on 
 
Sadly, you can never find men like those 
Jack would push you off that floating door, everyone knows 
Noah would have died in the war 
Yet, it is still these gushy movies that we adore 
 
So grab your ‘romcoms’ and that bucket of ice cream 
Picture the life that you and Nicholas Sparks can only dream
But don’t be to struck 
When you realize why V day truly sucks
