The One Who Pregamed WAY Too Hard
You know who they are and can spot them from a million miles away. Sure, we ALL like a good pregame before heading out to the venue, especially if you're not 21. But most of us like to make it to the venue and remember it, maybe buy a drink or two there. Calm down, my friend, there is plenty of time to drink responsibly at the event without puking all over your date's shoes. Class it up.
The Sad Boi
Some people become the life of the party when they drink. Others just get really freaking sad. You know, the person who's crying at the table about they're ex-S.O. never really loved them, or they'll never find love or really anything. Sometimes you're that person. Lend them a hand if you see them this time around.
The Party Animal
Contrary to the Sad Boi, the Party Animal is the person who wants everyone dancing, no matter how badly your shoes hurt. They're definitely the person in the middle of the dance floor, breaking it down to "Every Time We Touch" while throwing back another drink.
The Table Top Dancer
They're like the Party Animal, only on a table.
The Photographer
There's always one person who brings a professional camera to the venue and spends the entire evening shooting pictures of their friends. You can usually find them by following the camera flash around the venue. Be friends with this person, you could use some solid pictures to spice up your Instagram feed. Plus, how often are you dressed up that nice?
The Couple
There are always those couples who are basically attached at the hip. If you see one half, the other is usually not far away. It's cute but definitely doesn't help the Sad Boi be less sad. They always come out with really awesome pictures though.
Everyone’s Best Friend
Don't even bother trying to find this person, because they are bouncing around the venue from group to group saying hi to everyone they know.
The Mom Friend
This is the person who walks around with water the entire night, not only just for themselves, but for all their friends who definitely drank too much. They're the person who left Powerade and pretzels on their desk for when they get home.
The One Who Wants to Fight Everyone
Alright, some people get sad when they're drunk. Others get really happy. Still, there are those who just really wanna fight people. Don't be that person. Don't let your friends be that person. Fighting isn't fun for anyone.
The One Who Stays By The Food
One of the best things about formal is that sometimes, the venue has really awesome food (the fan favorite is chicken nuggets). Some people are really excited about the bar aspect of formal. Others park themselves right next to the table being filled with fresh chicken nuggets. They have their priorities straight.
The Girl Who Compliments Everyone In The Bathroom
Some girls get so nice when they drink. There's always one at every party who you meet in the bathroom. Sometimes you're crying about your ex (because he's a jerk) and she's the girl to give you the pep talk you need to wipe off your mascara and get back on the dance floor with your friends.
Formals are great. They're an opportunity to dress up, have a couple drinks and laugh with your friends. It's a time to shoot your shot with that girl you've wanted to talk to since, like, forever. Whichever person you end up being at formal, please follow the one rule: don't be a dick.

1. When you come home, they greet you at the door.
Elizabeth Perry
It doesn't matter how long you're gone, It's such a good feeling knowing that you were missed. Your dog will always be excited to see you when you come home.
2. They keep you company when you're studying.
Andrea Sierra
Knowing you have hours upon hours of studying to do is dreadful, but having your dog with you makes it way more bearable and makes the time pass by faster.
3. They force you to leave the house.
Tarrie Lincoln
All dogs need to be let out, so for a couple of times a day having a dog will force you to go outside and get some fresh air. It'll brighten up yours and your dog's day.
4. They aren't as much work as you'd think.
Celeste Van Winkle
No matter what size the dog is, they sleep a lot. Besides having to take them on walks, filling up their water bowls, and letting them out, they're pretty easy to handle.
5. They keep you safe.
Mariah Hendricks
Having a dog is like having an alarm system. They can hear unfamiliar sounds way better than humans, and no unwanted guest wants to deal with the barking dog behind the door.
6. They're always down to cuddle.
Kylie Quinn
Everyone loves a good nap, and a dog is more than willing to join you.
7. You never have to go anywhere alone.
Mariah Hendricks
Anytime I need to go to the store or to a friends house, my dog is happy to join me. (As long as she gets to stick her head out the window).
8. They help you make friends.
Mariah Hendricks
Whether it's another animal or a person, nobody can resist saying hi or petting a cute dog.
9. They teach you responsibility.
Ashlee Engstrom
Most dogs will have a schedule of when to eat and when to be let out. This has helped me organize the rest of my day, and ever since having my dog around, I've gotten every task I needed to do, done.
10. They'll always be there for you when school gets overwhelming.
Jessica Pierce
After a long day of tests, classes, club meetings, greek life events, and homework, hugs, and kisses from a dog can take all that stress away.
11. They make you laugh.
Selena Lasorda
They often don't mean to, but dogs can do the funniest things. Everyone loves a good laugh, and with a dog, you're guaranteed to get that all the time.
12. You'll get exercise everyday.
Ally Hansen
Dogs do need to be walked every day. By taking them out to run around you're having fun and getting exercise in.
13.They make every picture cuter.
Mia Scicluna
Dogs are always up for a picture, they make it cuter, and help you make memories to look back on.
14. You can dress them up for events.
Elizabeth Perry
Most dogs will let you dress them up, and what's cuter than a puppy in a hat and a sweater?
Face masks are a necessity
GiphyTo indulge in a charcoal detox mask or rejuvenate your skin with a pomegranate infused paper mask should be the only question you have to ask yourself. Add on some eye gel's to hide your bad decisions and even throw in a leave-in conditioner if you're really feeling yourself.
Designated DIY Day
GiphyI am not creative in any which way but painting wine glasses is an event on our agenda. You don't have to be artistic but creating something memorable for you or perhaps a cute gift for a friend is a cheap and easy way to spread some love.
Dip any food you can in chocolate
GiphyDark chocolate, white chocolate, milk chocolate
Strawberries, bananas, pretzels, apples, angel food cake (personal fave).
Also, take advantage of all the candy that hits the sale rack on the 15th.

Dance Like Nobody is Watching
GiphyYour neighbors might resent you for a little while, but turn the music all the way up in your apartment and let loose. Just make sure you remove your face mask beforehand so you have full motion of your face to sing along to Fergalicious.
Get cozy & Stay in
GiphyYou can never go wrong with a pot-luck and self-care night. Get yourself ready for a date night for the upcoming weekend or let yourself relax from the workload you endured for hours on end.
or Go out & Show out
GiphyFrom red lipstick to black pumps, go all out and embrace the single life. There is nothing better than going out to a party with your friends. If you're fortunate enough to legally drink or live in a city full of life, take advantage of the celebrated day and make some memories with your people.
Take A Class
GiphyIf you're super into fitness... I applaud you. If you want to let off some steam or let go of some anger sign up for a class! Hot Yoga, Self Defense, or perhaps a wine night with your friends while you paint a fancy portrait.
Two Words: Karaoke Bar
GiphyWhether you decide to go out to a karaoke bar or sing in the comfort of your home with youtube on your TV. Sing loud.
Go out to a Fancy Dinner
GiphyBeware of running into sappy couples who will fill up every fine dining restaurant on the night of February 14th. Instead of turning the other cheek and the people in love, it's always a nice gesture to congratulate them if it's an anniversary or maybe even make it awkward if it's the first date. Cheers your wine glasses and dig in.
Valentine's Day is about spreading love. Whether you're in a relationship or not, make sure you let the people you care about know how thankful you are to have them.
Happy Galentine's Day my lovely ladies!!
