I've never been someone who hated or loved Valentine's Day. I sort of forget about it a lot of the time, to be honest. I only have three Valentine's Days I can actually remember. Each of those times, something cute happened. It was sort of nice.

My freshman year of HS, a friend of mine brought both me and Hannah roses for Valentine's Day. Everyone ooh-ed and ahh-ed over the whole thing. It was exciting to happen as a freshman.

Junior year, while I was at home from school before my one act rehearsal, I got a mysterious package in the mail with a bracelet in it for Valentine's Day. I harassed everyone I knew about it, but no one ever seemed to know who it was. I do though.

And then, last year, the boys of the fabulous Alpha Epsilon Initiation class got all dressed up and brought the girls cute little Valentine's. It was possibly the most adorable thing ever.

This year, though, was exceptionally interesting Valentine's wise. A Valentine from Australia and from England showed up for me. Its nice to know I have international Valentine's. Everyone should be so lucky.

I feel very blessed.

Happy Heart Day. Go get yourself some chocolate.
