14 Things To Do on Galentine's Day This Year

Valentine's Day, AKA the most romantic day of the year, has finally come. You find yourself without a date AGAIN, but lucky for you, you're not alone because some of your favorite gal pals happen to be "choosing the single life this year" as well.

If you find yourself panicking about what you should be doing on this year's Galentine's Day, worry no more because I have a few suggestions:

1. Order a heart-shaped pizza for you and only you. Make your friends bring their own because today is the exception to the "sharing is caring" rule. #sorrynotsorry #pizzaislife

2. Attend the Krewe of Spanish Town Mardi Gras Parade in downtown Baton Rouge.

3. Stop by the LSU Memorial Tower to make fun of all the mushy-gushy couples kissing at midnight. Blech.

4. Watch a marathon of "Rom-Coms" on your best friend's couch.

5. Cry into a box of tissues while doing #4.

6. Send yourself flowers at work.

7. Buy tickets to see Fifty Shades of Grey for the midnight premiere.

8. Actually cook something from your "I LOOOOVE FOOD" Pinterest board.

9. Buy candles, bath bombs, and the latest issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine for a relaxing night in the tub.

10. Throw eggs at your ex-boyfriend's car.

11. If you're not into the romantics, you could always start binge watching a funny sitcom such as "Parks and Recreation," because Leslie Knope knows what Galentine's Day is all about!

12. Block any posts on your Facebook news feed that show someone who just got engaged.

13. Make a "Drunk White Girl" playlist on Pandora and dance your way around the kitchen with a bottle of wine in one hand and a cleaning towel in the other.

14. Most importantly, TREAT. YO. SELF.

Just remember on this Valentine's Day that you don't need a man because you have your gal pals right by your side. Also, chocolate.

XOXO. Happy Galentine's Day!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
