Galentine's Day

A special day to celebrate being a gal with your gals.

Galentine's Day

Galentine’s Day:

A special day to celebrate being a gal with your gals.

To begin, I won’t start to hate on all you relationship people out there. We’ve been there, we've done that, it obviously did not work out for us. Therefore, we will secretly hate and be jealous of you all at once, leaving us with this odd feeling of semi-saltiness. So, us single-cheese-slices now have to resort to finding a way to spend one of our population’s most dreaded holidays, Valentine’s Day.

For some of us, a personal large pepperoni pizza, cheap wine, and Netflix are all we really need. We fill our stomachs so full we couldn’t move, even if we were invited to some sort of outing or date. We don’t check social media because that would just make us want to puke and cry simultaneously, and with the prices these days, no one wants to puke up pizza.

For others, a day full of girls is what the doctor calls for. A date with your girlfriends can cure any love hangover that may be lingering from the holiday cuffing season.

Galentine’s day can be filled with whatever you and your friends enjoy. Whether it be just multiple pizzas and more than one bottle of sketchy-priced wine, a day at the spa, or watching that awkward anti-Valentine’s day movie that comes out on Valentine’s day. Galentine’s day is for sure to make you feel better about your life. Surrounding yourself with your best friends helps you confront the reasons why you all happen to be in the same non-romantic situation; college boys suck at relationships and you are too cool to have a boyfriend. You get to joke about all the embarrassing things all your friends have done, that probably should not ever be repeated, but for Galentine’s day sake, anything is up for discussion. You get to eat whatever you want without worrying if it got stuck in your teeth or your lipstick smudged. You get to wear anything or even nothing depending on your activity choice. There is no stress about looking smokin’ hot or impressing anyone because these are the people that hold your hair when you puke.

So whether you spend the day alone cramming food down your throat or hanging with your girls doing everything anti-boy, don’t worry about not having a significant other, because you’re awesome without anyone by your side.

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.
