Ah, the second week of February. If you are in a relationship, you are probably set for Valentine's Day. A romantic day filled with chocolate and gifts. If you aren't in a relationship, at first, it may seem bleak. Who wants to be alone on Valentine's Day? Even if you think the "holiday" is stupid and cliché, no one really wants to spend it alone. Why not spend it with people you love? You don't need to be in a relationship to celebrate! And why not do it Leslie Knope-style with Galentine's Day!
Basically, go have brunch with your girlfriends and celebrate being friends! Who needs presents? As long as there is enough chocolate to consume, then who is really complaining about not having a date!
Galentine's Day is all about empowering your best friends and celebrating each other. We are all independent women who believe we don't need a significant other to spend the day with. Not to mention it's also the 7th week of the quarter and we have more important things to be dealing with! (Yay midterms!)
We take this time of the year and truly appreciate the people we have in our lives. So if you were a little bummed about being single on Valentine's Day, don't be! Go out there and enjoy the day like it's any other day! Empower yourself and the people you love.
Plus, so many people ignore the real holiday here: February 15th! The day of discount chocolate! I know I'll take advantage of that!
So go celebrate Galentine's Day! Just don't forget about the waffles.
