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!

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
