Students come to AUC to spend a different day where everyone celebrates in his own way. Those who expect presents and flowers are waiting and the others watch hoping to be in their places, said Rasha El Sheikh, an engineering junior. I like coming to the university to watch people carrying flowers and gifts and listen to different stories and plans about Valentine celebration. Although it is a nice and loving atmosphere, I think that single people tend to be depressed in a way, said Shymaa El Kotb, a psychology junior. Dina Dabbous, accounting junior, said, what I like most in this day is that everything around me is red, the color of happiness.
People are always ready to smile.
Emad Atef, political sophomore, said that Valentine s Day for him is receiving a nice bunch of flowers from a pretty girl hut that it would never affect his feelings. The thing that he likes most is the AUC atmosphere during this time. Valentine s Day is a loving, relaxing day while for others working in gifts and flowers shops is hectic. Emad Sami, salesman for AUC gift shop, said, This day is completely different because when people come to buy presents they think of the best thing that makes their gift unique. It is a hard day that we usually start preparing for it two weeks earlier.
