Finally! One of my favorite days of the year is here. A day full of love, appreciation, and chocolate. That’s right you ladies, IT’S GALENTINE’S DAY.
What is Galentine’s Day you might ask? It’s only the greatest day ever. This incredible holiday, celebrated today, February 13th, was invented by none other than the breathtaking, hardworking, waffle-loving Pegasus, Leslie Knope, played by Amy Poehler, from NBC’s Parks and Recreation. The purpose of this fabulous day is to send loads of love to your girls. Of course, we all give our squad mega love every day already, but today is a day where you can shower them in even more compliments, eat at least twice your weight in pizza, and drink a ridiculous amount of wine. So, instead of waiting for a boy to ask you out for Valentine’s Day, look at these 12 reasons of why you and your girlfriends should celebrate Galentine’s Day instead of dreading Valentine’s Day:
1. You get to make your best friends feel more loved than usual.
2. You can spend the day spoiling each other…and yourself.
3. Or daydream about the perfect boy to spend Valentine’s Day with.
4. Then realize that was dumb because you’re strong independent women.
5. Or you could spend the day watching Rom-Coms and pigging out in sweatpants.
6. You could go out with your girls and get incredibly trashed…off friendship…and tequila.
7. Then threaten any boy who attempts to hit on your friends.
8. When your friends start to feel sad, you remind them you’re here for help.
9. You can reminisce on all the hilarious memories you have together.
10. You can shower your squad in even more compliments.
11. You can thank your friends for putting up with your shit.
12. Lastly, discuss the idiocy that is men.
