How To Have The Best Galentine's Day Ever

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!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
