No boxers, no bears this Valentine's Day, please!

Mention Valentine’s Day and everyone immediately thinks of candy and roses. But what do North Lake students think? Has this day of love gotten out of hand with the traditional things that are usually expected, or have things changed?

I decided to survey some students on campus to get their thoughts about what’s hot and what’s not-so-hot this Valentine’s. Here are some awesome results you should check out before spending the green.


What she wants:
Jewelry, flowers, songwriting, dinner, the Janicans (a musical band), full body massage, electronics, handmade cards, gift certificates and lots of pampering.

What she doesn’t want:
Disney toy characters, candy, stuffed animals, a lame excuse for forgetting the day even exists.

Note to guys:
If you want to impress a girl with a gift like some sexy lingerie, make sure the size is right. If you have the right size, it will score you extra points.

I do have to say that the guys I surveyed were a little more hesitant to respond to the hot or not list. Could it be a dreadful day for them? Here’s what they said.

What he wants:
Cologne, nice clothing, electronics, a nice body massage, DVD, and video games.

What he doesn’t want:
Boxers, chocolates, stuffed animals, marriage proposal, a lovey-dovey song on a cassette tape.

Note to girls:
If you want to impress a guy, don’t buy him a teddy bear and candy. Come on, seriously! What is he going to do with a teddy bear? Why not after dinner make dessert an intimate experience. Get some long-stemmed strawberries and coat them in melted chocolate. This makes for a yummy but sexy dessert.

I assure you, ladies, this one’s a winner.
