Valentine’s day is super cool and all but there is so much pressure around having a significant other to celebrate with and how extravagantly you show them your love. Something we forget to do is show all the other important people in our lives that we love them too! Whether you are in or out of a relationship; buy flowers, give gifts, spread love.

Ovaries Before Brovaries

Boyfriends come and go but gal pals are forever. Your girlfriends are some of the most important people in your life, always there for whatever you need. Let’s face it, no matter how hard we try they will always understand us better than any boyfriend ever will.

Valentines FOMO

No one should feel left out on a day like valentine’s day. It’s a day to celebrate love, there’s no need for it to be specific to people in relationships. Show your dog you love them, show your best friend, show your sister, your neighbor, your mailman, your grocery clerk, that rando telemarketer that has called every day for the past week, and I guess your boyfriend if you’ve got the time. Everyone deserves a little love. No one needs to feel left out just because they aren’t currently in a committed relationship.

We Forget to Stop and Buy Some Roses

Being in college most of us have got a lot on our plate, schoolwork, jobs, staying healthy, etc. Sometimes we forget to show others how much they matter to us and crucial they are to our success. So, buy a bunch of valentines and tell some friends how much you appreciate them.

It was Made Up by Leslie Knope

I am currently on a parks&rec kick and if you haven’t seen it do yourself a favor and binge watch all of it. Leslie Knope is the main character and she is a hilarious go-getter who works in the parks and recreation department of a small town in Indiana. She is one of the coolest fictional characters to ever exist. Galentine’s day makes a special appearance on parks&rec as a holiday Leslie has made up.
