Some people love Valentine’s Day, and others not so much. It’s especially hard to celebrate on campus. Below are a few ideas to get in the spirit with your besties!

Cookie Decorating

Grab a few friends and head to your nearest Target or grocery store. You can get pre-made plain cookies since most of us don’t have access to an oven. Don’t forget to pick up frosting and cute sprinkles!

Rom-com Movie Night

Bring your PJ’s and popcorn for a night full of laughs, tears and love with these classic movies! I recommend Clueless, Pitch Perfect, Bring It On and Legally Blonde.

Self-care

What’s better than face masks, nails and DIY sugar scrubs with your besties? To make your new favorite body scrub, pick up granulated sugar, coconut oil, food coloring and essential oils. Add all the ingredients to a little jar and decorate with stickers!

White Elephant Gift Exchange

You and a group of friends can use a website to enter your names and send anonymous texts to each other saying who you’ll give a gift to. Remember, it’s the thought that counts, not the price!
