With so many choices and possibilities to choose from, students must decide what to do with their sweethearts on Valentine's Day. Choices include dinner and a movie, dancing, skiing and spending a night out on the town.
But students agree that no matter what you do or where you do it, you are bound to have a good time if you are with your sweetheart.
Larisa Grove, a sophomore from El Paso, Texas, majoring in family history, said you can have fun doing almost anything when you enjoy being with the other person.
'Last year I told Greg to dress up in nice clothes because I was going to take him to dinner,' Grove said.
Grove then prepared dinner in her apartment.
'I made a heart trail out of construction paper leading from his apartment back to mine, and then knocked on the door and ran away,' Grove said. 'He followed the trail and found me and our dinner waiting at the other end.'
Grove said it's fun to fill your boyfriend's car with lots and lots of paper hearts and balloons to show how much you love him.
'It is also fun to dress up in nice Sunday clothes and eat a picnic dinner on the floor of your apartment,' Grove said. 'Then you can wrap up in blankets and watch your favorite video together.'
Kim Carter, a junior from Frederick, Md., majoring in elementary education, and Sarah Johnson, a junior from Kalamazoo, Mich., majoring in music, said things couples can do include going to the top of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building in Salt Lake City, or traveling to Bridal Veil Falls to look at the avalanche.
Carter said it would be fun to dress up, drive out away from the city and take a radio to dance out under stars.
Johnson and Carter said it would also be fun to dance at the base of the 'Y' out under the stars.
'It would be beautiful up there,' Johnson said.
Carter said a friend once ate dinner up on a billboard near Hardy's restaurant. She said they brought a ladder and climbed up on top.
Many couples choose to go to dinner together for Valentine's Day.
Carter said there is a cute little antique store where you can go and eat called Kristi and Jo's. The restaurant is on 260 N. University Ave in Provo.
Brick Oven is offering special heart-shaped pizzas for Valentine's Day, said Kenneth Peterson, general manager for Brick Oven. Peterson said the prices vary depending on what the person wants on the pizzas and range from $7.35 to $9.55.
Other ideas include giving blood together, looking at babies in the maternity ward at a hospital, attending a Valentine's Day dance, dressing up and going to the symphony or to a movie.
