Galentine’s Day is coming! It’s right around the corner, and despite popular belief, you don’t have to be single to celebrate it! Whether you’re happily taken and have been planning the perfect way to spend Valentine’s Day with your S.O. or you’re single and the thought of lovey-dovey couples makes you cringe, there is still much to be celebrated! Valentine’s Day isn’t exclusively for couples, so don’t forget about your gal pals, and singles, don’t be tempted to avoid the day!

Here are 5 ways to celebrate Galentine’s Day with your fave ladies!

1. At-home paint party

Now, this isn’t as elaborate as it sounds. It can be totally low-key with your closest gal pals. Grab a couple bottles of wine and different colored paint, announce a BYOC (bring your own canvas), and set up a place to paint. Whether it’s at the dining room table or spreading a sheet on the living room floor, make sure you give you and your girls enough room to get creative. Spend the night painting, sippin’, and gossiping. You’ll love this so much, you’ll want to make it a monthly thing. You’ll think me later.

2. Couple's massage

So, if you’re looking for something to do with your bestie that is totally out of the ordinary, make an appointment to get a couple’s massage. I don’t know why we don’t do this more often. Like, we should do this as often as we get mani-pedi’s together. The idea may sound weird at first, but it’ll take your friendship to the next level. There’s nothing like relaxing with your best friend while your favorite masseuses buff all your problems away. It’s the most perfect activity to add to your Galentine’s Day events.

3. Get matchy

This one might be a little bit outside of the box, but just hear me out because it could be totally hilarious. Now, you’ll have to trust your BFF a lot because this one requires you to trade phones. Swap phones and create a dating profile for your bestie with the promise of deleting it at the end of the night. Because it’s close to Valentine’s Day, you’re sure to get a lot of hits, so don't make their profile too obvious of a joke. Spend the rest of your night dying of laughter from the random conversations you’ll have with other users. Do we have anything better to do with our time? Probably, but if you’re bored and could use a good laugh, this activity is harmless.

4. Hit the town

Going out is always an option, especially if you want to get dressed up and get out of the house. Whether your idea of going out is getting drinks or going to dinner and a movie or even a combination of both, as long as you’re with your girls the night is bound to be a good one. Look up things to do in your area. Call around, make reservations, meet up with your besties to get ready and grab the night by the horns! Not to mention, Fifty Shades Freed is coming out on Valentine’s Day, but no pressure.

5. Kick it old school

You can’t go wrong with an old-fashioned slumber party with your girls! Break out the facemasks, nail polish, cookie dough and pop in the Princess Diaries or restart Gossip Girl for the 398th time and spend the rest of the night drooling over Nate Archibald.


However you choose to celebrate Galentine’s Day, make sure it is centered around having a good time with your girls and choosing to be happy in the season you’re in because it won’t last forever.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
