Sweetest Day is Saturday, Oct. 19, and in honor of this controversial northern holiday we asked students, “What do you think of Sweetest Day?”

“I have mixed feelings … on one hand it’s really good if you’re with your significant other, but it can be difficult if you travel like me.”

“I think it’s great that people are celebrating it … people should do it more often.”

NO PICTURE Rehman Ahmad, mechanical engineering, freshman

“I think it’s a pointless day … you can literally make that day any day you want to. It’s up to the individuals.”

Robert Curtis, business, freshman

“The man should be treated as a woman should be treated on Valentine’s Day … pampered and stuff.”

Brent Stelzer, electrical engineering, sophomore

“Chocolate.”

Alyssa Brecht, psychology, senior

“Honestly… I used to live in the south and I never heard of it until I came here, so I don’t participate… it’s not a big deal.”
