February 13 rings in the sixth best holiday of the year, right behind Mardi Gras and actual Valentine’s Day: Galentine’s Day! Made famous by Leslie Knope and a slew of single-life memes, this faux-holiday is a great excuse to get your peeps together and celebrate friendship, no matter your gender or lack thereof. Here are some fun ways to kick it with your crew (that aren’t sitting on the couch and eating junk food).

1. Have a Pinterest party.

Pile into Becky’s mom’s minivan and head to Michael’s, because it’s mothereffing craft night. Whether you want to decoupage a lampshade or DIY a dog bowl, sometimes crafting on your own is less fun and more tear-your-hair-out frustrating. Doing it with your pals might actually make it enjoyable, even if you end up spilling wine on your collage.

2. Make a million-billion cookies.

Everyone loves cookies, even your friend Tori who says she can’t have gluten, sugar or do anything fun ever. Get your Rachael Ray on and bake enough heart-shaped confections to feed an army of Cupids, plus a swarm of your tipsy single friends. The best wines to pair with cookies are as follows: I don’t know? All of them, probably? Do I look like a sommelier to you?

3. Paint pottery.

Is there anything more white suburban mom than painting pottery supplied to you by a local small business, probably owned by a white suburban mom? No! Make yourself anything from a travel mug to a jewelry dish, or if you’re too lazy to put three coats of paint on something that big, make a shot glass. Or would it be a shot mug?

4. Go for a winter hike.

Disclaimer: do not do this without the proper winter garb. No, Lexi, you cannot go hiking in a peacoat and leggings. Get bundled up, hustle over to the closest trailhead, and soldier on like the Night’s Watch hero you’ve always had inside you. Handy tip: hot cocoa with peppermint Schnapps is the perfect accessory to accompany you on your trek. Make sure to snap that group pic for Insta before your fingers get too cold.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
