Another Year, Another Valentine’s

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

With Valentine’s Day approaching here are some activities you can do with your Galentine’s or your Valentine!

1. PAINT- Grab some canvases and some paint and let your imagination do the rest! Painting is something that often times gets forgotten but it is such a cute date idea or something to even do with friends. Whether everyone is painting something similar or completely different, this fun, yet therapeutic activity is sure to be a hit on February 14th.

2.MOVIE NIGHT- With Valentine’s Day falling on a Wednesday this year, a chill movie night is perfect for those wanting to stay in or do something a little more casual. Of course, you can always go out and see a movie too but that’s all preference! Grab your favorite snacks and put a great movie on. If you and your Galentine’s are struggling to find something to watch, here are some suggestions:

  • How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
  • The Other Woman
  • Friends with Benefits

These rom-coms are sure to have everyone laughing and are the ultimate movies for Galentine’s.

3.ICE SKATING- With February still being one of the cold months, why not go ice skating? Ice skating is a great activity to do with your girls or your partner! Whether you are new to the activity or have tried it more than once, it is sure to be lots of fun.

4.HOMEMADE PIZZAS- Whether you’re good at cooking or not, making pizzas from scratch is a great substitute to take-out! (Or if you’re in a hurry, buying pizza dough from the store does the job too). Get your ingredients, throw a movie on, and make your own personal pizza. This can be done with your friends or your significant other. The pizzas turn out so good and you can enjoy them together. Here are some pizza favorites:

  • Margarita Pizza
  • Barbecue Chicken
  • Prosciutto & Arugula

We hope this gave you some ideas of what to do this Valentine’s Day!

My name is Rose Soltani and I am a writer of Her Campus at NC State University. I love writing and sharing my thoughts and ideas with everyone! I am a 4th year Business Administration Major with a Concentration in Marketing and I am also minoring in Middle East Studies. Upon graduation I am looking forward to attending law school due to my passion for law and legal rights issues. In the summer of 2022, I was fortunate enough to be a part of Duke University Law School's Pre-Law Fellowship. I learned so much valuable information about preparing for law school as well as the legal field. This past summer, I focused on studying for the LSAT. I was raised in Charlotte, NC and am the oldest of 3 children. I have 2 younger brothers so I love spending time with when I am back at home. I love baking, traveling, going for walks, and spending time with family and friends in my free time. Some of my favorite movies include How to Lose a Guy in 10 days and Father of the Bride.
