Lost in the Valentine's Day roses and romance is the subtle yet significant revelation that more Tufts students, especially women, are waiting until "later" to tie the knot.

The lives of most college students are filled with doubt. There's doubt about small things, like pulling an A on a chemistry final after sleeping through the last eight lectures. There's doubt about worldwide stuff, the big things. There's doubt about personal issues, like the sanctity of parents or the fidelity of a significant other. There's doubt about oneself, when we question our beliefs and convictions. No matter the form it takes, this emotion can be profoundly disconcerting.

I'm sure you know what today is. It's Valentine's Day. The day every single person in a relationship, open relationship and even in a "friends with benefits" situation rejoices in their happiness - and then proceeds to turn to every single person and mock them.
Today is one of my favorite days of the year. It's a day that, in my opinion, has gotten a bad rap. Yes, it's been over-commercialized, but at the same time, it's got a lot of redeeming qualities, too. Today is a day for us to let our true feelings out. It's a day for us to celebrate. It's a day for us to show our appreciation for the ones we love.
