TREAT YO

SELF

BY MAX FRANSEN

It is the 10th of February and you are at the local Albertsons . A Starbucks is inside this grocery store and you decide to buy yourself a venti size of your favorite drink .

Normally , if someone has a significant other , every penny counts , so one does not splurge on his / herself as much . Regardless of one ’ s dating status , it is important to treat oneself , especially during the Valentine ’ s season , when chocolate is more accessible .
Brad Leon , junior , is currently not in a relationship and is not afraid to splurge on himself . He suggests treating oneself because “ it can be a good motivator towards goals you want to achieve ,” Leon said , “ living a life to the fullest means spending the money you earn on stuff you save up for .”
Elsa Fransen , junior , has been in a relationship for 10 months and still sees the value in self-pampering . She said , “ it is good to be an independent women every once in a while and not have to stress on being picky with gifts .”
In a season full of couples and presents , it is important to remember to appreciate yourself no matter the situation . Valentine ’ s Day should not be just one day with a loved one but a day to celebrate yourself as well .
