How to Celebrate Galentine's Day Right

Chocolate and friends, what more could you want?

How to Celebrate Galentine's Day Right

Mid-February. It’s the time of the year when both the snow and the homework are piling up and it seems as if you’re being suffocated by the sheer amount of over-priced chocolates, roses, and the color pink. Each year on February 14th, those of us not in a relationship are faced with the depressing ritual of crying over "The Notebook" alone and buying discount chocolate the next day. However, being single does not have to be boring so grab your girlfriends and put together a fun Galentine's Day!

1. Get together with all of your favorite single gals


Because let's be real - spending Valentine's day with the girls is way less stressful and way more fun than spending it with a guy.

2. Make reservations at a fancy restaurant with said gals

Bonus points if you place bets on how long the couples around you will stay together.

3. Pack your purses with lots of candy hearts and chocolates

In case you get a little hungry while waiting for your chicken parm and cannolis.

4. Dress up and get cute pics with the girls

Okay so V day is on a Tuesday this year but the rule still applies: pink, purple, and red are a must.

5. After the cute photos, take off all that makeup and hairspray and put on your coziest PJs.

6. Cuddle up with all the girls and your favorite pint of Ben and Jerry’s

Remember, calories don’t count on holidays.

7. Binge-watch all your favorite rom-coms.

My go-tos are "Sixteen Candles," "Clueless," "13 Going on 30," "Mean Girls," "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days," and "The Wedding Date."

But at the end of the night, we all know that the reason we're single is that Zac Efron just hasn't found us yet.

    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.

    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.
