Never give a girl (or guy if the case applies) something that will last forever. Walking around on my campus and seeing a perfectly good, Valentine's-Day stuffed animal in the trash just breaks my heart but not because of the obvious relationship breakup though. I'm an environmentalist now, remember?

It made me think of my own past. I have a stuffed animal saying that someone from UNC loves me tucked away and wasting space in some junk drawer back home which I only keep because I can't bear to throw away only because I hate throwing stuff away. There's also some stuffed animal saying “Someone From John Brown University Loves Me” rotting away in some landfill near Greeley (again, I cry because of the environmentalism in me).

Again, my advise is this: never give a significant other something that will last forever unless you're sure that the relationship is going to last forever. Get her flowers; she likes them, and they die.
