Together alone Guess who else is on campus and not on a date on Feb.14 at 7 p.m.? The men's basketball team. They could use your support, and it might be just the right event for you and your friends to show your Pilot pride.
The annual “Anti-Valentine's Day Party” might be something for you and your friends if you are 21 and over. Drinks, raffle prizes, tasty food and hot jams are waiting for you in the AudioCinema located under the Hawthorne Bridge at 226 SE Madison. Opens at 9 p.m. and the cover is only $5.
Officially rename Valentines Day as “Galentines Day” and see “50 Shades of Gray” on its premiere day. Bring your besties together to enjoy a sensational movie experience that thousands of women are desperately waiting for. Just don’t forget to reserve tickets, as this movie is likely to sell out.
All by myself
Alone on Valentine's Day and stuck on campus? Nothing could be worse. But, honestly, it’s just another Saturday night, so why not take this time to pamper yourself?
Have a Netflix marathon of your favorite series with all the delightful candy Mac’s Market has to offer. Already binge watch shows at your leisure? Get some goods to turn your room into a temporary spa and spend some time breathing in essential oils. Simply treasure yourself.
Why not join a “Cuddle Con” on Valentines Day? This event is for singles, partners and everyone else, so long as they are 18 and over. It includes a cuddling class, dance lessons, pillow fights and much more. It lasts noon - 7 p.m. Cuddling is optional and not required!

A “proper” date Have a Valentine and want to stay on campus? Grab a blanket, some snacks, your darling and head over to the place behind Waldschmidt Hall to enjoy the breathtaking view of downtown Portland. Hint: Bring an umbrella. (Sun sets at 5:36 p.m.)
If you and you sweetheart are up for an adventure instead of the usual V-Day dinner, then run through mud instead. “My Muddy Valentine” is a 5k mud run, which also features beer, hot showers, food, mimosas and music on Feb. 14 and 15 at Lee Farms. All ages are welcome to join with a general admission fee of $ 70-90. So get muddy, but hurry - tickets might sell out! More info: terrapinevents.com 21975 SW 65th Ave, Tualatin, OR 97062
