In a time where there is so much division in politics regarding women whether it be reproductive rights, equal pay, the #MeToo movement, and so on, Galentine's day is needed more than ever. It's a time to look at the ladies in your life and appreciate them for who they are, just like Valentine's day, but platonic.
Never celebrated Galentine's day or just don't know what to get your friends? Fret not! Below you will find a list of 13 ideas for you to show your friends how much you appreciate them in your life.

What better way to show your friends how much you care than by actually taking the time to write down reasons why you do? You know your friend the best. You know if this means a long drawn out letter or just a funny post-it note. Either option will show your friends some love this Galentine's day through words of affirmation.
2. Face masks.

Build yourself up!
GiphyBuild up that self-esteem way in advance. If you know you are going to fail it, write yourself that encouragement letter. You deserve it!
Make that time for YOU!
GiphyHonestly, more love and more action are key. Love yourself enough to take breaks, but also love yourself enough to take action!!!
We all feel this way.
GiphyMaybe you waited till the last minute and are struggling. Keep going, take a deep breath, and realize that as soon as its over, you can go home and take a nap.
Reach out to friends for help you may need.
GiphyLeslie slayed on asking people for help. You can do this.
Get to the test, and maybe it is 4 different chapters that you didn't look at.
GiphyDon't forget to bring shaving cream to send that professor out the door.
But maybe you left the test, and actually feel like you kill it.
GiphyI mean, if you feel like you did good, no one is hating.
But then you get that test back, and realize that you are down a hole unless you get some extra credit.
GiphyOffice hours, here we come.
"Sorry, I have already told you, I do not give extra credit."
GiphyThe cursed words you never want to hear.
And the class average comes back, and its 97, and you feel dumb.
GiphyHonestly, what went wrong? Time to drop out.
The week is over, and you somehow have to figure out how to make a 96 in each class for the rest of the semester to keep your GPA.
Giphy"I'm sorry, does anyone have a pillow I can scream in?" Happy Test Week!!!

1. You agreed to go to waffle house with your friend when you should have been studying. It's now 2:30 AM and you haven't even opened a textbook.
3. When your friends are trying to convince you to go out and you know you shouldn't, but you're still gonna go.
4. When you've turned in your third paper for the week and taken two exams but it's only Wednesday.
6. When you write that 10 page paper the day before it's due and get still get a good grade
7. Showing up to class late because you accidentally took that nap you said you wouldn't take
8. Trying to motivate yourself because it's 10am but your day is already falling apart
9. When the professor calls on you to share your opinion but you were definitely not paying attention
10. That moment when you realize you're still alive after you take that exam you thought would be the death of you
It's great to joke about our lives, but I think when it comes to college we really are doing better than we think we are. There will be time for adventures, time for sleep and time for success. We just have to remember there are a time and place for all of that in the balance of our busy schedules! Never forget to take time to rest, find shows or activities that make you happy. Always make time for friends and relationship. All of these things will help you have a better attitude towards adversity and give you more incentive to conquer your day!
