Ahhh Valentine's Day. A time where everything is pink and purple and red. Where there's chocolate and flowers galore. Some people, specifically single people, hate the holiday, but I think it's a nice time to show those you care about how much you love them. One of these ways, coined by "Parks And Recreation," is by spending time your best gal pals and celebrating Galentine's Day. Don't know what to do for Galentine's Day? Don't worry! I've got some ideas.

1. Go to brunch.

Mimosas and waffles? Leslie Knope would totally agree with the latter.

2. Have a wine and movie night.

Suggestions include "The Princess Diaries" and some white zinfandel. Maybe break out some chocolate too.

3. Have a fun day out.

Last year my friends and I just walked around Santa Monica and it was so nice out and so much fun. Just drive somewhere nice and hang out. Don't even plan anything. Just get in the car, drive, and you'll end up somewhere.

4. Relive your elementary school sleepovers.

a.k.a. makeovers, doing each other's hair, and reading J-14 (does that still exist?)

5. Go for a hike.

If you're more of an adventurous type, take a trip into nature and relieve some stress.

6. Do something touristy.

If you live near a touristy area, go be a tourist! Do you know how much people pay to visit the place where you live? Why not celebrate a holiday with something different? It's even more fun when you pretend to be an over-the-top tourist.

7. Run some errands.

Why not be productive? But also with friends!

8. Have a game night.

Similar to a movie night, but slightly more social.

9. Go get some dessert!

Or bake your own! The possibilities are endless!

10. Go out dancing!

Go have fun dancing to some great music and forget your worries.

11. Karaoke!

Similar to dancing, but SINGING! How fun!

12. Give your friends those cheesy Valentine's cards.

I guarantee your friends will be SO excited about getting a glittery pizza temporary tattoo. Helpful tip: the dollar store has an excellent selection.

13. Don't do ANYTHING.

The only rule to Galentine's Day is to spend it with the ladies you love.

Other than that, there's absolutely NO pressure to how you spend it. If you don't want to do anything special, then don't. Just spend time with your closest girlfriends.

14. Watch the Galentine's Day episode of "Parks and Rec."

You gotta know where it all began before you celebrate. Season 2, episode 16.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?

You are commonly asked what's wrong, when nothing is. What people don't know is that is just your facial expression. Here are some things they wish you knew.
