Yeah, it’s a Hallmark holiday, and sure, it’s a little exclusionary (some of us like to be single; sorry not sorry), but Valentine’s Day is nevertheless overwhelmingly present in the month of February.
Athens Events
Whether you’re an international student, you’re taking classes over break, or you’ve just outgrown going home during the Holidays, it’s easy to stay in your apartment and get cabin fever during Southeast Ohio winters.
Fest season is wild every year. From riots to couch burning, houses with front yards turn to mud pits from hundreds of shoes mixing with Athens’ springtime rains. Every year, dozens of students get fined or arrested for getting too ratchet to be in public.
Winter break is probably the quietest time of the year here. Court Street at night is all lit-up for the holidays, and it’s beautiful, but noticeably bereft of the usual throngs of students bar-hopping and having fun.
