“Galentine’s Day,” a term coined by “Parks and Recreation” character Leslie Knope, is all about “ladies celebrating ladies,” as Knope puts it. Despite your current relationship status, take your best girl friends out on Saturday to try one or all of these activities to celebrate the love of sisters before misters.

As the seasons of “Parks and Recreation” progress and Amy Poehler perfects the “Leslie Knope” character — a quirky, determined and unapologetically enthusiastic public servant — her style develops into a business casual look that is feminine, flattering and empowering.
Amid the 400-plus student organizations on campus, it is hard for the small ones to get their voices heard. Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) is among the group of modestly sized organizations that are working hard to establish their presence on campus.

As the new year kicks off in full swing, the promise of our resolutions still hangs in the air, ready to be achieved. A common resolution is to read more for pleasure. If you are one of these people wanting to get back into the habit of cozying up in bed with a book and a cup of coffee, then this is the list for you. Here are a few books you probably haven’t read — but should — in your spare time this year.
"Spotlight"
"Radius" by Allen Stone
On Wednesday, the Russell House Ballroom will be full of students, silenced and captivated by the words of their peers — those who attend will be encouraged to think outside the box and beyond their normal comfort zones in this intimate and thought-provoking setting.
Downtown Columbia is a relatively diverse place. Just one walk down Main Street takes you by the Statehouse, through the Columbia Museum of Art, to the Nickelodeon Theatre and more. In a city bustling with differing cultures and forms of entertainment, there is an underlying assumption that the food will offer a wide range of styles and atmospheres.
The search for good music within today’s pop culture is clouded by fuzzy, unoriginal beats and lyrics endorsing partying or today's latest fads. It's easy to forget that music is a true art form — an expression of creativity, emblematic of the human experience. Finding music that is honest, poetic and timeless is refreshing and rare.
In just a few weeks, streets will be bustling with children and adults dressed as the usual ghosts, zombies and witches as well as this year's crop of trendy costumes.
Trustus Theater brings a fresh take to Columbia about what it means to leave your past behind and live your best life. “The Brothers Size” follows Oshoosi Size, recently released from prison, as he lives with his older brother Ogun and tries to bring meaning to his life and his relationships. Oshoosi struggles between the pressures of fulfilling his second chance or giving into his old ways through the temptations of his former prison-mate, Elegba.
For those of us who have read “Gone Girl” by Gillian Flynn, or even watched the movie, we understand that there is something innately sinister about the book that captivated our attention. The infamous Nick and Amy take the term toxic relationship much further than our comfort level, and yet we sop up every last word. Because there are only so many times you can read a book before the thrill wears off and its most exciting scenes become monotonous, we are constantly looking for the next page-turner. Thus, I bring to you “The Girl on the Train.”
