13 Ideas To Catch Up On Your Much-Needed Girl Time
Hallie Cunningham

Your girls are the people who will always be there for you. Sometimes life gets busy and you can't always make plans but, setting a date in advance can help put the pressure on to actually go! Spend some quality time with your favorite people and take all of the perfect Instagram photos.

Here are 13 ways to catch up on some much-needed girl time.

1. Movie night

Typical, but who doesn't love a good romantic comedy? Movies like "50 First Dates" and "How To Lose a Guy In 10 Days" are classics!

2. Spa day

Pick up a new bottle of your favorite face mask and let the fun begin! Relaxing and taking Snapchats while your face is slathered with some "organic" ingredients from TJMaxx is always a memory to hold dear.

3. Sister sleepover

Reminisce on the good parts of your middle school days and have a sleepover! Make forts with the insane amount of fuzzy blankets you have and decor pillows that end up on your floor. Add some popcorn and chocolate and you are good to go!

4. Make a group dinner

Who needs to go on a fancy date at an expensive restaurant when you can tear it up in the kitchen with your closest friends! Find a recipe you all like and make it to share!

5. Photoshoot

Find the friend with the best camera and pick a cute location! Now is the time to spice up your Instagram feed and make it as aesthetic as you want!

6. Paint and sip

Paint and canvases are available at all craft stores and even shopping centers like Walmart. Check out your craft session and pick your favorite drink to accommodate your time. You could even exchange what you painted as a Galentine's Day gift!

7. Shopping trip

We all love retail therapy! Go ahead, buy the new shoes! Your besties will support your habit, that's their job!

8. Find a new hobby

Local arts centers and gyms always offer a variety of unique classes to try! Maybe cycling is for you after all!

9. Tie blanket making

Head out to your local craft store and buy two yards of two fabrics, then make inch cuts into both pieces of fabric and tie them together! Now you have a piece of your friends with you every night.

10. Candle making

Make a quick Google search to find the store closest to you for this opportunity. Craft your own scent and title it after your besties! Candles are always a great gift.

11. Volunteer

Whether it is at an animal shelter or a long-term care facility, volunteering is always better with your friends. Spend this day showing your love to people (or animals) who need it most.

12. New coffee shops

Run a quick Google search of coffee shops near you and get started! To make it interesting, you could rank them from you personal favorite to least!

13. Vision board making

Pinterest always has the best ideas for vision boards. Enjoy long talks with your besties and figure out what you see in your future! Cut out outfit inspiration for you and your friends and make plans for a future outing!

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.
