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!

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.

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.

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.
