Valentine's Day: is Cupid still cool?
|
Today marks the day of Saint Valentine, the Patron Saint of Love. But with so much going on in the world, is it still a big deal? Does anyone actually care?
“It’s overcommercialised. You don’t need a day to show your love for a partner – you should be showing love for your other half, and those you care for, every single day. In saying that though, if it means something to them – don’t be a Grinch about it and do something, even if it’s small and inexpensive.”
Wise words from second year commerce and languages student Kosta Vlahos. It can serve as a good reminder to make sure you are showing yourself love and compassion too this semester.
Good, inexpensive way to do that? Join ANU Sport’s FREE Body Balance session tonight from 6.30pm. So whether you’re flying solo or want to organise a cheap date, your plans are sorted.
Happy Valentine’s Day!

Last week Yukeembruk, the newest residence on campus, was officially opened by Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor and a special smoking ceremony conducted by Ngambri-Ngunnawal Elder Dr Aunty Matilda House.
The name Yukeembruk and Maliyan Lane were gifted to ANU following consultation with Ngambri/Ngurmal (Walgalu), Wallaballooa (Ngunnawal), Wiradyuri (Erambie) custodian, Paul Girrawah House, and Professor Aunty Anne Martin, Director of the ANU Tjabal Indigenous Higher Education Centre.
Yukeembruk is now the University's largest residence to date offering 731 beds across four buildings. The first intake of residents has begun filling up those rooms, excited to start the semester.
Caitlyn Lewis is a second year studying a Bachelor of Engineering and Science.
“This is my second year living away from home and I’m loving Yukeembruk so far, it's so nice being a part of a new residence and working with everyone to come up with a new culture.
She said it’s easy to make the most of life on campus, “I would say give it everything you’ve got. Be a part of everything and try out all the activities and events. It'll be the best fun you'll ever have.”
