So, gather your closest single girlfriends and celebrate this day together! Here are some ideas for if you live in Athens, GA.

Extra Things To Do
This holiday has more to offer than brunch. You can go shopping at the many boutiques in downtown Athens, visit the GA Museum of Art, attend Yoga for Two at Ramsey Student Center, have a movie night in your dorm or apartment, have a game night, head to a bar downtown if you’re of age or order some Insomnia Cookies for delivery.
Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be all about couples and romance. If you are usually sad about being single or may be away from your S.O. due to a long distance relationship, try doing some fun things with your friends! It may take your mind off of it. Happy Galentine’s Day!!
