As told by "Parks and Rec," of course.

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
