Galentine's Day — the day before Valentine's Day. In the show " Parks & Rec," Leslie Knope says it best with, "ladies celebrating ladies."

The eve of Valentine's Day is the day to celebrate with your fav gal pals, both single and baed up. Don't get me wrong, I do still love the traditional Valentine's Day. The concept of V-Day is adorable and who doesn't love being showered with flowers and chocolates, but I think I like Galentine's Day just a bit more. On Galentine's Day, the pressure of Valentine's Day is gone and it's just a fun day to go out or stay in for the night with your girls. There are no reservations, no stress of what to wear just a fun night with friends.

Celebrate the holiday Galentine's Day this year because tbh no matter what, your girlfriends will always be your soul mates.

Here are nine reasons Galentine's Day will always be better than Valentine's Day.

1. You don't have to look nice

Come as you are, sweats, pj's, leggings; there's no dress code

2. You can drink all the wine you want

No one will judge if you and your girls finish a bottle..or seven

3. You can watch all the Nicholas Sparks movies

Or really any sappy romantic movies, my favorite is Safe Haven.

4. You can have the ultimate GNO

You don't have to stay in for Galentine's Day, go out to a nice dinner with your friends or go out dancing and get some drinks at the bars

5. You won't have to worry about Valentine's gifts

Galentine's gifts only, and you'll ALWAYS know what your friends want

6. You can gossip

Gossip with your friends, it's a perfect night to catch up and make some memories

7. You can throw a Galentine's Day party

Decorate and have Galentine's themed treats and drinks for a house party

8. You can have a spa day

Pamper yourself with face masks and manicures, you deserve it.

9. Last, but certainly not least, you can play the Galentine's Day Drinking Game

Galentine's Day drinking gameIt's sure to be a good time!

Happy Galentine's Day, it's only the best day of the year!

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.
