13 Ideas To Catch Up On Your Much-Needed Girl Time
Hallie Cunningham

Your girls are the people who will always be there for you. Sometimes life gets busy and you can't always make plans but, setting a date in advance can help put the pressure on to actually go! Spend some quality time with your favorite people and take all of the perfect Instagram photos.

Here are 13 ways to catch up on some much-needed girl time.

1. Movie night

Typical, but who doesn't love a good romantic comedy? Movies like "50 First Dates" and "How To Lose a Guy In 10 Days" are classics!

2. Spa day

Pick up a new bottle of your favorite face mask and let the fun begin! Relaxing and taking Snapchats while your face is slathered with some "organic" ingredients from TJMaxx is always a memory to hold dear.

3. Sister sleepover

Reminisce on the good parts of your middle school days and have a sleepover! Make forts with the insane amount of fuzzy blankets you have and decor pillows that end up on your floor. Add some popcorn and chocolate and you are good to go!

4. Make a group dinner

Who needs to go on a fancy date at an expensive restaurant when you can tear it up in the kitchen with your closest friends! Find a recipe you all like and make it to share!

5. Photoshoot

Find the friend with the best camera and pick a cute location! Now is the time to spice up your Instagram feed and make it as aesthetic as you want!

6. Paint and sip

Paint and canvases are available at all craft stores and even shopping centers like Walmart. Check out your craft session and pick your favorite drink to accommodate your time. You could even exchange what you painted as a Galentine's Day gift!

7. Shopping trip

We all love retail therapy! Go ahead, buy the new shoes! Your besties will support your habit, that's their job!

8. Find a new hobby

Local arts centers and gyms always offer a variety of unique classes to try! Maybe cycling is for you after all!

9. Tie blanket making

Head out to your local craft store and buy two yards of two fabrics, then make inch cuts into both pieces of fabric and tie them together! Now you have a piece of your friends with you every night.

10. Candle making

Make a quick Google search to find the store closest to you for this opportunity. Craft your own scent and title it after your besties! Candles are always a great gift.

11. Volunteer

Whether it is at an animal shelter or a long-term care facility, volunteering is always better with your friends. Spend this day showing your love to people (or animals) who need it most.

12. New coffee shops

Run a quick Google search of coffee shops near you and get started! To make it interesting, you could rank them from you personal favorite to least!

13. Vision board making

Pinterest always has the best ideas for vision boards. Enjoy long talks with your besties and figure out what you see in your future! Cut out outfit inspiration for you and your friends and make plans for a future outing!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
