Ten Things to do for Galentine’s Day

Not in the mood to conform to this bizarre, consumerism driven, hallmark holiday? Here are ten ways to avoid the crowds and spend the evening with your girls!

1. Movie marathon

If you have access to a car, grab your girls and go catch a double feature at the drive-in! Bring your own snacks and snuggle up in the cold for a couple cheesy rom-coms . http://www.nwarocks.com/local-news/arkansas-drive-in-theaters/

1. Spa session

Nails, face masks, hair masks, all the masks. Get some much-needed R&R with your squad. http://talkspas.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Spa-Party.jpg

1. Potluck dinner

Hide from the date-night mayhem and avoid dining hall food for the evening. Make yourselves a home cooked (or microwave cooked) meal to enjoy together. http://www.yorkhospital.com/uploads/Cafeteria.jpg

1. Write each other love-letters

Show each other some love. Tell the people who matter most how much you love and appreciate their presence in your liveshttps://static1.squarespace.com/static/56546267e4b00a349c2faf16/t/58a37474d1758eb85567289b/1488505374815/Valentine%27s+Day+Fun%3A+Galentine%27s+Day+in+Baltimore+%7C+Shotgunning+for+Love+Letters

1. Visit your local animal shelter

Doing a good deed AND snuggling puppies? Enough said. http://www.totopets.com/img/cutest-animals/Cute-Happy-Puppy.jpg

1. Karaoke night

Whether it’s in your dorm room or at an actual karaoke bar, belt out some angsty love songs and embarrass the heck out of yourselves together.​https://thumb7.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/64260/384285409/stock-photo-party-holidays-celebration-nightlife-and-people-concept-happy-young-women-singing-karaoke-in-384285409.jpg

1. Treat yourselves!

Go shopping, a little retail therapy never hurt, right? No need to drop a ton of cash or anything, window shopping is great too.​https://res.cloudinary.com/simpleview/image/upload/c_fill,f_auto,h_400,q_75,w_700/v1/clients/wilmington/iStock_494421154_43c5776f-1aa7-43fa-b0d8-77dfa3bf7718.jpg

1. Get out on the town

Do your hair, do all the makeup tutorials, and go out looking like the fabulous queens you are!​https://media.women.com/images/images/000/095/629/large/sex.jpg?1494654677

1. Or don’t

Put on your comfiest sweats, order in, get a ton of ice cream, and binge-watch netflix until you pass out. Doesn’t get better than that, ladies!  ​http://www4.pictures.gi.zimbio.com/Kirsty+Lee+Allan+Girls+Night+Fundraiser+Launch+gcEVYL53Jqel.jpg

1. Grab dessert and watch the sunset
