College Solutions Pt 2

Ah Valentine's Day. Probably the hardest day of the year for both men and women.

As a female, I don't really see why guys complain so much about good old V-day. I mean... how hard is it to order her favorite flowers (you can do it online for goodness sakes) and remember to make reservations to that restaurant she's been dying to try, oh and writing a little more than "love me" at the bottom of the card. It's not like they ever in their entire lives pondered over those bulk cards (varying from princesses to wrestlers) hoping that "You're sweeter than honey" would be interpreted as more. It's not a big deal when guys don't receive those candy grams or shout-outs. But for a girl, it is. Honestly, I think it's harder to be a girl and endure February 14th only because you are waiting on a guy to all those things- flowers, food, a sentimental card. Valentine's Day is usually a huge let down.

This Valentine's Day was extremely refreshing (being that the preceding V-day's have been nothing short of disastrous). Dan and I went to a really great restaurant but I was a little mad at the people who sat by us. They brought a boatload of little kids and let them run around and scream (and when the Yuengling costs $7 I consider it a nice restaurant and expect children to be strapped in accordingly). Nothing annoys me more than when I'm trying enjoy myself and a three year-old is standing there staring at me and/or screaming. Go away. Anyway.... aside from the abundant amount of children (I hate rich parents) Daniel got me flowers.

And this is where the College Solutions Pt 2 comes into the equation. As a poor college student living in a small space, I do not own a vase... or anything that vaguely resembles a vase. After some extreme searching... I stumbled upon a Coke Zero bottle. Genius.

Backstory: As stated above, being Valentine's Day, I received flowers.

Dilemma: Flowers need water and well.. without them they turn brown and droopy in a matter of hours instead of two days (just trying to prolong the inevitable!)

Solution: Coca Cola Cherry Zero. I cut a little bit of the top off and created a true work of art.

Here I present: THE SOLUTION!


Don't mind my cat calendar.
