For those of you who haven't heard of "Galentine's Day," it's a great holiday that will probably make your February ten times better. The term Galentine's Day originated from the amazing Leslie Knope from Parks and Recreation. It's essentially a day (Feb. 13th to be exact) where gal pals far and wide leave their significant others at home and go out on the town for BFF fun. It's a day where "ladies celebrate ladies." There are so many reasons to love Galentine's Day. Here are a few in case you aren't convinced yet.

1. It's a chance to bond with your gal pals.

2. You get to sit and reminisce on great memories.

3. No one will judge you for being emotional (especially if you're single on V-Day).

4. You also won't be judged for your need for late night calories.

5. It's a day to feel empowered as a woman.

6. You get to go out and dance the night away.

7. Your girl friends don't care what you look like.

8. You have the perfect wingwoman when you see a hot guy.

9. You never stop laughing.

10. They aren't afraid to suck it up and take that shot with you (even if it's a bad idea).

11. They will always love you for you.

Happy Galentine's Day, ladies!

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
