Newly Single Student Embraces Meaning of Galentine’s Day

Philosophy major Violet Perkens is newly single as of February 10th and has rediscovered that people other than her ex, industrial distribution major Landon Frost, continued to exist this whole time. Sources close to Perkens indicate she has elected to ignore her melancholic feelings about her break-up by using Galentine’s Day as the ultimate distraction.

Perkens is excited to spend some time with her closest “gal pals,” but her friends have clarified that they are now used to her absence. “Yeah, we really only see Violet on the rare occurrence that she’s single,” said Jessica Meyers, Violet’s friend of three years. “Last time we saw her was four months ago.”

“It’s just so nice to get to reconnect with my girls,” Perkens said. “I haven’t gotten to hang out with them since Ladies’ night at Harry’s on October 12th, which was coincidentally when I met Landon.” Perkens’ friends alleged that she was only with the group for 30 minutes, having left immediately after meeting Frost.

Plans for the Galentine’s Day festivities include enjoying a charcuterie board, chocolates, and wine while watching romantic comedies. “Who wouldn’t be excited to do the second-best thing this weekend and hang out with your closest girlfriends?” Perkens said. “To be honest, Galentine’s is so much less commercialized than Valentine’s and that just makes it way more pure.”

Update Feb. 12, 9:38 am CDT: Unfortunately, Violet Perkins had to cancel her Galentine’s plans after reconciling with Landon. She could not be reached for comment.
