How to Celebrate Galentine's Day Right

Chocolate and friends, what more could you want?

Feb 13, 2017

Mid-February. It’s the time of the year when both the snow and the homework are piling up and it seems as if you’re being suffocated by the sheer amount of over-priced chocolates, roses, and the color pink. Each year on February 14th, those of us not in a relationship are faced with the depressing ritual of crying over "The Notebook" alone and buying discount chocolate the next day. However, being single does not have to be boring so grab your girlfriends and put together a fun Galentine's Day!

1. Get together with all of your favorite single gals

Because let's be real - spending Valentine's day with the girls is way less stressful and way more fun than spending it with a guy.

2. Make reservations at a fancy restaurant with said gals

Bonus points if you place bets on how long the couples around you will stay together.

3. Pack your purses with lots of candy hearts and chocolates

In case you get a little hungry while waiting for your chicken parm and cannolis.

4. Dress up and get cute pics with the girls

Okay so V day is on a Tuesday this year but the rule still applies: pink, purple, and red are a must.

5. After the cute photos, take off all that makeup and hairspray and put on your coziest PJs.

6. Cuddle up with all the girls and your favorite pint of Ben and Jerry’s

Remember, calories don’t count on holidays.

7. Binge-watch all your favorite rom-coms.

My go-tos are "Sixteen Candles," "Clueless," "13 Going on 30," "Mean Girls," "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days," and "The Wedding Date."

But at the end of the night, we all know that the reason we're single is that Zac Efron just hasn't found us yet.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
