February 13th is coming just around the corner. During this season, you may be thinking about that special someone and the perfect gift to get them. However, on February 13th, we set aside romance and think about the women in our lives and ways to show our appreciation for them.

You may be thinking, what is the world is Galentine's day? Well, you can thank episode sixteen of season two of Parks and Recreation. This is the episode where Leslie gathers all of her gal pals to lunch and celebrates each of them. It's a day for ladies to celebrate ladies.

In a time where there is so much division in politics regarding women whether it be reproductive rights, equal pay, the #MeToo movement, and so on, Galentine's day is needed more than ever. It's a time to look at the ladies in your life and appreciate them for who they are, just like Valentine's day, but platonic.

Never celebrated Galentine's day or just don't know what to get your friends? Fret not! Below you will find a list of 13 ideas for you to show your friends how much you appreciate them in your life.

1. Personalized note.

What better way to show your friends how much you care than by actually taking the time to write down reasons why you do? You know your friend the best. You know if this means a long drawn out letter or just a funny post-it note. Either option will show your friends some love this Galentine's day through words of affirmation.

2. Face masks.

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.

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.
