How To Have The Best Galentine's Day Ever
Vignette3

What's Galentine's Day, you ask? Only the best day of the year! Valentine's Day is when you celebrate romantic love with your S.O., but Galentine's Day, Feb. 13, is when you celebrate lady friends. Originally created by Leslie Knope played by Amy Poehler on "Parks and Recreation," the holiday is arguably more important than Valentine's Day. Here are some things to do on Galentine's Day that will basically guarantee that it will be the best day.

1. Shower your lady friends in gifts

Your friends deserve to know that you love them, so what better way to show that than with a token of your gratitude?

2. Go out to eat

You don't have to "kick it breakfast style" like Leslie and her friends, but enjoy a good brunch, lunch, dinner or even late-night drunk food with your closest ladies.

3. Get your drink on

Mimosas, wine, beer, mixed drinks ... you name it, you drink it.

4. Give as many compliments as you can

Galentine's Day is all about letting your friends know how much you appreciate them. Let your true feelings flow and do not hold back.

5. Talk about your love lives

Just because you left your S.O.s at home doesn't mean that you can't talk about them! Let your girls know how you're feeling about your relationship.

6. Eat something sweet

Extravagant desserts are not reserved for Valentine's Day. Bring on the chocolate and whipped cream!

7. Invite as many friends as possible

Everyone deserves to feel the love on Galentine's Day.

8. Plan a fun activity for you and your gal pals to do

Whether you'll be going out to a bar or just staying in and watching movies, do something that you will all enjoy together.

9. Enjoy each other's company — try and keep the texting, tweeting and posting to a minimum

You are there to catch up with your lady friends, so be present in the moment and enjoy their company.

10. Take pictures with your girls to commemorate the best day of the year

Frame it and give it to them next Galentine's Day as a gift!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
