Valentine's Day is quickly approaching the Plains. All of the restaurants downtown, on College, and in Tiger Town are quickly booking up with reservations. Most couples will enjoy going out on the town for a nice dinner. On the contrary, most singles, will find themselves at the bar celebrating a different holiday, Singles Awareness Day.

But what is there to do for the others, those without a significant other, those who just do not want to go on a typical date, those don't enjoy going to the bar, or those who just want something different to do for this Valentine's Day? There are many different options for these people.

The most popular option is hosting a "Bachelor" Watch Party. Valentine's Day will fall on a Monday this year, and all you ladies know what that means - "The Bachelor."

Many students are getting all their best girlfriends together, a good bottle of wine, and cooking dinner in.
Auburn University Emily Fassiotto says that's her plan.

"I'm not going downtown to spend a bunch of money this year," Fassiotto said. "I'm also not going to dinner and watching a bunch of happy couples eat dinner. I will stay home with my friends."

Other students are celebrating differently. Some students say they are gong to throw large parties at either their houses or fraternity houses. These parties are open to everyone, but most of the crowd will be students who aren’t old enough to go to the bar.

A group of students has a completely different idea. Auburn University student Danny Moncrief says he and his friends think they are going out for drink specials.

"Were going to go take advantage of the drink specials the local restaurants have," he says. "We're not going to go the bars. We're going to go make fun of people on terrible dates. It's going to be so much fun."

Many students say they are going to go early to restaurants and get a front row seat to what they call, “terrible Valentine’s Day dates.”

These options are all great alternatives to the norm. So this Valentine's Day, if you are not planning on going out on a date, going to the movies, or to the bar, you might find yourself joining some of these students on their alternate Valentine’s Day plans.
