Galentine's Day Is Important, Because Who Would You Even Be Without Your Gals?!

Valentine's Day has come and gone but let's talk about something that's so much more important, Galentine's Day. This day is usually celebrated the day before Valentine's Day, February 13th, but you can celebrate it whenever you can around that time.

It's a day to let go of everything for one day, and devote your time to your girlfriends. No this does not mean just "catching up," I mean doing everything you can in one day/night that you never usually have time to do before. Movies, snacking, gossip, talking politics, more grubbing, drinking, spilling tea, everything.

Invite the girls you always say you'll make time for but never get around to it, or just make it you and your bestie's date night.

This is important because these girls are the ones who have your back. Girl when you don't have a man who's around? That's right your girlfriends. They were the real ones before you had anything serious with your boo right now. They've seen not only you but your relationship too, go up and down and they helped you through all the tough times.

This is your way of thanking them that one day of the year the same way you celebrate your relationship on Valentine's day.

Crossing my fingers nothing happens to your current relationship, but if things fall apart, make sure they don't fall apart with you and your girls. Make sure to never let a man get in the way of your girls' friendship and do not make any other plans on the day of Galentine's. Us girls are always looking out for each other and out here to support one another no matter what, this is our time to give back to those who have been there through thick and thin.

Remember, ovaries before brovaries.

Michigan Rain Vs. California Rain

SO, I've just recently had the fortunate experience to be reminded just how Michigan rains. Now, before you roll your eyes at me, I HAVE EXPERIENCED RAIN (in regards of the the popular joke that Californians haven't). However, I have to agree; after experiencing one of Michigan's thunderstorms (with my college's sirens blaring in the background), it comes to mind just how different "rain" is between the two states:

If you have been following me for a long time, then you know I write about two main things: relateable articles and communication media based articles. Now, it is time for me to combine the two. For those of you that don't know, I am a radio DJ at IUP, and I DJ for a show called BPM (Beats Per Minute). It is an EDM, or electronic dance music, based show and I absolutely love it.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
