Expectations on Valentine’s Day 2018
Valentine’s Day is coming up, and whether you are single or in a relationship, teenagers are already anticipating their plans for Valentine’s Day this year. As times are changing, so are teens’ expectations for Valentines’ Day, as the meaning of the holiday for the teens of today has changed from what it may have been in the past. While some hold significance to the day, others are indifferent. To find out the views of our generation’s teens, I asked a bunch of single and committed teens about their expectations for the Valentines Day coming up.
Chase Gardner: Obviously I think that I will get a lot on Valentine’s Day, both at home and at school, and get a lot of chocolate.
Jeremiah Wilkins: My expectations are that hopefully I will be with a woman that I will ask to be my valentine. If that doesn’t work out, then I always have Jack Posner, and him and I can have a nice dinner and talk about how the world has failed us many times.
Brett Borthwick: I don’t really have expectations. It’s better not to expect things and then you can just be pleasantly surprised.
Ava Dupont: I don’t really have any expectations, I think me and my friends are just gonna go out to dinner on Valentine’s Day.
Jamie Aijala: I’m probably just gonna go spend the day with my girlfriend and take her out to dinner.
Sasha Q: I think it’s gonna be pretty good, my girlfriend and I will probably go to my house and hang out.
Tess Dimenna: I don’t really have any… it’s on a Thursday or a Wednesday, so I’m doing something on the weekend instead, like dinner… also my anniversary with my boyfriend is right before Valentine’s Day so we’re doing stuff for that instead.
George Payne: I hope to have a very good time and to give many kind Valentine’s and eat lots of Valentine candy.
Emma Seitz: Me and my friend are getting each other heart-shaped chocolates and roses and we’re gonna bring it to each other on Valentine’s Day.
Millie Novak: I’m gonna buy myself a candy gram, I’m gonna be happy for everyone who has the day to share with someone, and I’m just gonna spend time with my friends.
