Why I Hate Valentine’s Day

By Corey Bennett

Every year, the world becomes more and more polluted. Who’s to blame? Valentine’s day.

 This is the worst holiday by far, even worse than Christmas. Poor single souls are extremely depressed, roses are killed in hordes, and hundreds of trees are killed just for people to put “I love you” on a Valentine’s Day card.

 By far, this is the worst holiday ever created, and it must be put to an end. “Valentine’s Day” is not only a horrible holiday, but even just the name is trash. What bozo came up with that name? It doesn’t roll off the tongue; it doesn’t even sound like anything about “love.” That’s another thing, “love.” Even though that word is gross, I feel like puking the minute that I say it, and it disgusts me. Whoever came up with “love” should be put in jail and locked away for the rest of their life.

 Valentine’s Day is an excuse for stores to profit from us. They put out a bunch of pink, red, and white candy boxes, hearts, chocolate, everything; it’s all garbage. The stores don’t care about the consumer; they never have; all they care about is money, money, money, and on top of that, everyone is falling for it.

 Not only is the name trash, and stores steal from you, but to top it all off, couples are gregarious. Say if I go into a store and I see a couple making out, I can’t help but puke! It is gross. I’m trying to buy black licorice and stuffed crows. I don’t want to see two people making out in the store.

On top of that, everyone is completely lonely; Valentine’s Day should be named Why (doesn’t anyone want to be with me) Wednesday. Including me, I have sadly fallen victim to Valentine’s curse. But, let’s be honest, who even cares? (Brett, if you are reading this, please take me back.) Relationships are meaningless and will end sooner or later.
