Ever since Leslie Knope endorsed the importance of girl time and waffles, Galentine's Day has become an increasingly popular holiday. Because, honestly, who needs boys when you have plenty of crazy, weird, hilarious, beautiful girlfriends??? The answer is nobody.

I encourage everyone to take some time this year and throw a Galentine's Day party. It's so important to show your friends in life how much they mean to you, and this is the perfect opportunity! So, for all of your Galentine's Day needs, here are a few ideas to get the party started.

1. FLOWERS. EVERYWHERE.


Personally, I think that this is the most important part of any party. Place flower arrangements on the tables, on the counters, on flower crowns...basically everywhere that you can. My favorite thing to do is tie ribbon around a mason jar, add some little roses and babies' breath, and voilà! You have a picture-perfect arrangement.

2. Personalized place cards.


A personal touch is sure to WOW your girlfriends. Super simple, but super cute!!!

3. Photo Booth.


Yes, this is essential. Document your friends lookin' super fresh. Add a cute backdrop and props if you're feeling crafty!

4. Heart garland.

A heart-shaped garland is the perfect decoration to spice up your Galentine's Day. Not only do they serve as a festive touch, but they're extremely easy to DIY as well!

5. Balloons, duh!

Balloons are great, because after you're done admiring them, you can suck out all of the helium and talk like The Chipmunks.

6. Chalkboard signs.

Chalkboards can double as decorations and photo booth props! Make a sign with pretty handwriting, and your guests will love it.

7. FOOD!!! Lots of it.

This is where you should go absolutely crazy. Make heart-shaped EVERYTHING! There are tons of delicious recipes on Pinterest that are sure to inspire your chef side.

8. CHAMPAGNE!!! Lots of it.

Does this really need an explanation?

9. Eat tons and tons and tons of chocolate.

Because you deserve it.

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.
