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 :)

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

5 Reasons Why Finals Week Is The Worst For People Who Love Christmas

Christmas is on the brain during the month of December, not finals! How do you expect me to study?

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.
