An Open Letter to my Galentines

Ladies celebrating Ladies!

An Open Letter to my Galentines
Gap White

With Valentines day around the corner, it's an appropriate time to reflect on relationships. No, not just that "special someone" or your S.O., but also your friendships. I am referring to, of course, GALENTINE'S DAY (thank you Leslie Knope). What is Galentine's day?

In the wise words of Leslie Knope: "It's only the best day of the eyar! It's a day where we celebrate our lady friends!" On this fine holiday, which is traditionally celebrated on February 13th, I would like to reach out to all my Galentine's, and help you reach out to yours!

Dear Galentine,

Hello you beautiful person! First and foremost, I would like to thank you. You have been there for me through the thick and thin of this past year. We've had some laughs and some cries, but we've still made it. Thank you for being there for me with limited judgement (I know there is some latent judgement!) when I do dumb things. Thank you for not only allowing me to do some dumb things, but also joining in on them with me. I don't know where I would be without you. On this amazing day, I would like to make some promises to you for the coming year:

1. I will always be there for you, no matter how many miles separate us! Texting exists for a reason!

2. I won't be quick to judge when you need me not to be, but no promised to not tease you later!

3. I will make that midnight snack run with you, because let's be honest, we both probably need it.

I also want to remind you, though you may/ may not be in a relationship, you are one of my beautiful and amazing Galentine's (cause girl, we are strong, independent women, and we don't need no man!).

With love and thanks,

- Your Galentine :)

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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

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. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. 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.
