Whether that be family or friends, what better way to demonstrate this love than with a little gift to show appreciation for these people in your life who make your days a little easier?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Money can be tight, especially as a college student. But the best gifts don\u2019t always have to be expensive! I can tell you right now that a simple personalized card with some inside jokes or something only they would understand can go a long way to showing them that you love them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Some people just want to hear they are appreciated; so why not grab some colored pencils, markers, and a simple white sheet of paper and make a nice card decorated with drawings of all the things they love? You can even go the extra mile and \u201csend\u201d these cards to the mailroom; you can look up their mailbox number in the directory and ask the people working there to place your card inside!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If words aren\u2019t your thing, maybe a little craft can help. There are millions of step-by-step tutorials on how to do origami roses, hearts, or even cute animals! What matters is that you put some effort and time into the gift.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, if gift-giving doesn\u2019t work for you, lean more into time-giving. Go out for a sweet treat at Lucky Cat, located on Main Street, or go to watch a movie at the local AMC theater! Whatever you decide to do, as long as you have the right intention in your heart, it will be enough.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have a great Valentine\u2019s Day Maroons!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Andrea Flores<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Staff Reporter<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valentine\u2019s Day is not only a holiday to spend with a significant other, but it can also be spent with any loved one in your life!
