Galentine’s Day vs. Valentine’s Day

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Colgate chapter.

Everybody knows the infamous day of February 14th, another day to remind single people everywhere that yes, they are still alone. It is a holiday filled with tacky Hallmark cards and sub par boxes of chocolate given as an expression of love for a significant other. Buuuuut rather than focusing on how alone you may be on this dreaded day, you should instead use it as an excuse to show your friends how much you love them. This is why Galentine’s Day is way better than Valentine’s Day…

Whether you have a significant other or not, good friends make life so much better…

 

They love you no matter how weird you may be…

 

You can stuff your face without fearing any judgment… 

You definitely don’t need to dress to impress…

You have an excuse to buy yourselve’s chocolate and eat it all… 

 

You get to freely gossip and laugh with your best friends… 

 

Best friends don’t expect any expensive gifts because they understand living on a budget…

There are so many reasons why a night with your best gals is so great. So no matter what you do, make sure to treat your crazy friends to the most amazing day ever and show them some love!
