Partying isn't for everyone, and sometimes it's good to just take a break and chill with friends. Here are some fun alternative options to do on a Friday night with friends in college!

1. Game Night

From Cards Against Humanity to Mafia to Fibbage, there are so many fun games you can play with a group of friends! Maybe some fun Party Games or Strategy Games to challenge your friends and just have a good time laughing! This is how inside jokes come about.

2. Movie night

There's always a movie a few people haven't seen that everyone else in the group loves. Or else you can go with a classic Disney movie, no judegement here! Pop some popcorn, bring out the icecream and blankets and have fun laughing, crying, or getting pissed off at a movie plot as a group of friends. Girls Night? Just a group of friends? Scary Movie? There's something out these for every type of movie-watching group!

3. Go to Ice Cream

My friend group loves going to Baskin Robbins at least once a month. Cheap-ish ice cream, and we are regular enough that the workers know us by now! It's a good time to chat, eat delicious ice cream, and just relax after a long week of classes.

4. Go out to dinner!

I recommend Red Robin, because bottomless fries are the best, but any local restaurant or even a chain would do. Have everyone get dressed up, and go dine and pretend like you have money to spend!

5. Build a fort

You can never go wrong with building a blanket fort like when you were a kid. So, grab blankets and sheets, some couches and some chairs and be creative!

6. See a play/musical

Look and see if something is showing on campus or at a local theatre!

7. Go to a sporting event

Go support your school's sports teams and cheer on your fellow _______! (Lutes in my case!)

8. Chill

Hang out, tell stories, and just enjoy each other's company.

9. Sing-a-longs

I like to make Spotify playlists and make my friends guess what song it is, and then we all sing along!

10. Sleep

You've had a busy week, sometimes it's ok to just take a break and sleep. It can be rejuvenating and you'll have more energy for the next week! (Or at least the next day.)

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
