Diary of a Gen Z Student: Let's celebrate the girls who listen to tales of romantic woe

For girls, the job of being a good friend also involves being there for the heartbreaks. Listening to the ranting and delivering chocolate to your friend’s bedside — that’s a major part of the deal

Jane Cowan: 'Being friends with girls is a full time occupation. We are essentially on call, round the clock, just waiting to jump into action the second our friend’s suitor responds to a text. He doesn’t breathe without our knowing about it.'

So, the big day is here.

Galentine’s, that is. It’s an official feast day on the female calendar. On February 13, we gather, drink wine, bake cookies, craft, light candles, buy each other gifts, and declare our love for our girlfriends.
