Chocolates or flowers? What do Yale students want this Valentine’s Day?

Uncertain about what to get your special someone this Valentine’s Day? Read what Yalies have to say re Valentine’s Day’s most common conundrum: chocolate or flowers?

Alex Sernyk

Def chocolate. What am I supposed to do with flowers?

Lilian Bitner

CHOCOLATE, because I can’t eat flowers.

James Landefeld

Flowers! I’m kind of specific about what kind of chocolate I actually enjoy eating (I’m not a huge fan of the Russel Stover that comprise 95% of Vday chocolate) but flowers are pretty and smell nice!

Lily Silva

Both (Paul I hope you see this)

Samuel Wade Newville

I would prefer chocolate because I’m more of a touch, taste, feel kind of guy than an admire from afar kind of guy.

Calvin Harrison

Definitely chocolate because flowers would probably just die and make me sad.

Jackie Cloud

I prefer to get flowers on Valentine’s Day because chocolate gives me a headache. Also, the last guy I got chocolates from was an asshole and 100 percent not my Valentine, so I ended up giving the box to my suite mates.

William Harlow

Chocolate because flowers require upkeep. Just like relationships.

Nina Campbell

Flowers because my common room usually smells weird, so that’s useful.

Yonas Takele

I’d prefer chocolate because I absolutely love chocolate. I also don’t think I’m equipped for the responsibility of flowers. It would be really sad to see them inevitably die…

Carol Lee

Chocolates, because I get to eat them and I can’t eat flowers so what’s the point.

Isaiah Genece

Chocolate, chocolate, always chocolate. Flowers are a responsibility.
