E ditorials/Opinions Chatterbox Ruston High School February 14, 2011 Page 9 Valentine’s Day for All the Singles by Gray Taylor Graphics/Design Editor For all the singles out there: you all have to face Valentine‘s Day alone each year. This isn‘t necessarily a bad thing, considering how overrated this commercial holiday really is. It‘s all about showering your significant other with material things and hoping they don‘t plan on leaving you any time soon. But fear not, loners, there are ways to celebrate like everyone else instead of sitting at home watching romantic comedies and crying yourself to sleep. First of all, get a grip on yourself and know that you are not the only one spending V-Day alone. Second, remember that you are saving yourself hundreds of dollars by not buying anything for someone else. The money you save could go to much more important things, such as yourself. Third, get your other single friends together and go somewhere. Chances are you will have more fun partying with your friends than becoming a fire hazard if you had a dinner by candle light. Valentine‘s Day should not be restricted to just couples, so do not mope or cry but go out for some fun. DON’T BE LIKE THIS GUY: “Senioritis” by Gray Taylor Graphics/Design Editor Glasses vs. Contacts by Polly Michelle Gwan Academics Reporter Glasses and contact lenses- it seems that everyone is wearing one or the other. It is said that over 160 million Americans wear either contacts or glasses today, but which one is better Many people tend to prefer glasses over contacts because they like the look and feel of glasses. Glasses wearer Lauren Townsend prefers glasses ―because they help you see better, even though they tend to get a little annoying‖. Many glasses wearers also enjoy the various styles, shapes, and sizes that meet their needs or just plainly find the price of glasses in their budgets. Others, such as Zach Hannibal have various reasons why they wear glasses. ―Glasses are better because I wear them,‖ he states, ―You should be like me and wear them too.‖ Not everyone thinks glasses are the way to go though. Many prefer contact lenses because they get a more natural look that glasses fail to offer. ―Contacts are more convenient and are better for my peripheral vision without my frames getting in the way,‖ says Kimberly Miles. Mary Conly Hammons ads that ―contacts are better because they‘re more comfortable and they look a lot better.‖ Whether you‘re like Cody Briscoe who believes that ―glasses are better because all you have to do is slide them on in the morning‖ or Ashlyn Thompson who just plainly ―likes contact lenses better,‖ you can rock your eye wear any way you please.
