X Marks The Spot: A Scavenger Hunt
Looking for something a little out of the normal? If you have an extra hour or so during the day, then this date is a creative alternative. Make up to ten different clues and place them around either the dorm or campus. Each clue can say a little something about what makes you attracted to your Valentine, a memory that you have shared together or even a funny Valentine's Day joke. Have each clue lead to the next, and the last clue lead to where you will be, with a fun evening ahead of you. Whether you and your date decide to stay in after the hunt or go out, they will definitely appreciate all of the sweet things you had to say about them.
Activities For Love
If you and your partner have certain activities that you like to do together, then carry on that mutual enjoyment on Valentine's Day and incorporate your favorite hobbies into your day. Go to dinner and then go ice-skating at the Edward Freitas Ice Forum or rock climbing at the SRF. Just because it is Valentine's Day does not mean that you can't do normal every-day activities, and enjoy them together.
If movies are your favorite together activity, then either rent a romantic classic, such as "Dirty Dancing" or "Pretty Woman," or hit up the Student Union theatre to see "Enchanted." Up for something a bit newer? Try seeing "27 Dresses," "Caramel," "Fool's Gold" or "Definitely, Maybe."
