In This Article:

I'm currently in a relationship and sometimes forget how Valentine's Day impacted me when I was single. The bouquets of roses, the heart shaped chocolates, and over sized stuffed animals at the front of stores can be annoying if you don't have someone to buy them for. I was talking to some of my friends who aren't going out and we decided that we would have a girl's night the day before Valentine's Day. Known by Parks in Rec. fans as "Galentine's Day", this event serves to appreciate the friends in our lives. The key to a successful night is to avoid the 'romance' that the month of February promotes. The four components that are needed are candy, cards, an activity, and a movie.

1. Candy

Candy is important because everything is better when candy is involved. If you aren't a fan of the heart shaped lollipops, DollarTree has a variety of candy as an alternative.

2. Cards

A simple Valentine's card for a friend is a nice gesture to let them know you appreciate them. Buy a pack and address them to all the Galentine's attendees :)

3. Activity

For my group's activity, we are going to try and mimic a Bob Ross painting after drinking a bit beforehand. We are buying canvases and paints and are going to listen to the soothing voice of the famous painter. Not only will this be a calming activity, but also fun amongst friends.

4. Movie

Movies are what wind the night down. After having a good time and drinking a bit, it's nice to end the night with a positive film. Be sure to avoid those sappy romantic comedies and dive into a Disney motion picture instead. This will keep everyone from thinking about relationships and instead on an inspirational message such as the movie Wall-E, Wreck-It Ralph, and Monsters Inc.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
