Happy Galentine's Day!

What should you do when everyone else is in love?

Happy Galentine's Day!

That time of the year always comes around: when candy is extremely cheap the day after a little kid in a diaper finishes poking us all in the butts. Yes, many call this excessive love fest Valentine's Day.

However, for us Single Pringles, there is no day more important than Galentines Day.

Usually, it is spent as a day to watch Rom-Coms and ignore those appreciation posts on Facebook and Insta. When drinking coffee mugs of white wine, we reminisce about the ghosts of bfs past and trash the cheaters that came before him.

But not this year! Instead of watching He's Just Not That Into You with a large pizza, try these activities with your favorite Galentine's Day pals first!

1. Hit the beach with friends!

According to Healthline: "Exposure to sunlight is thought to increase the brain’s release of a hormone called serotonin. This is associated with boosting mood and helping a person feel calm and focused." Think about it this way, before diving face first into a pint of Ben and Jerry's, try diving into the pool instead!

2. Craft!

I know it sounds cheesy, but paint nights or succulent parties are on the rise! Spend time with friends painting (and drinking) learning from a real art teacher! Or all of you pitching in on supplies and crafting a cute little hanging plant! There's so much to do to keep busy!

3. Brunch!

What girl doesn't like grabbing a mimosa and a crepe? There's nothing wrong with having a classy ladies day at a local, Pinterest worthy cafe. Of course, most brunches are filled with hangover stories, but this one could be about embracing your gals rather than the cutie in the apartment downstairs.

Granted these ideas are not one size fits all, and I'm pretty sure all Galentine's Days end with a bottle of wine and a movie at Jessica's house (like usual). Who messes with tradition anyway?

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
