Everyone knows those nights when you are just seriously not feeling it. Your friends are going on about how fun the party is going to be, but all you want to do is sip tea in bed and watch Netflix. So do it!! Just stay in. You will have a million more opportunities to go out, and sometimes, you just need a break. I know FOMO (fear of missing out) can be hard, but don't give in. Here are a few reasons why you really should just stay in:
1. Your friends have to convince you to go out
This is always the #1 sign that you want to stay in. If your friends have to beg and plead you to come, chances are, deep down, you really just don't want to. So don't! If they get mad at you for not going out, they aren't real friends. Take all the time you need to relax.
2. You have nothing to wear
Ughhhhhh. We have all had the nights where we try on a billion and one outfits, and nothing looks right. Definitely a sign. Even your closet wants you to stay home!
3. You don't know many people there
If you get invited to an event where you don't know many people, it could end up being a disaster. Trying to make small talk with strangers all night.. No thanks.
4. Your favorite movie just got added to Netflix
IT'S GO TIME, NETFLIX. Netflix is literally telling you to stay in. Watch it at least once. Maybe twice... Okay three times is enough.
5. You're having a bad hair day
Sometimes you wake up and your hair decides whether or not you get to go out and have fun that night. If it looks like you are about to walk on a runway, go for it. If it looks like you just rolled out of a cave after three days with no food or water, listen to the hair. It's a no.
6. You are low on cash
Going out can get expensive. If it's going to cost you more than your budget and you are on the fence about going, just stay in. You'll thank your piggy bank later.
7. You're already in your Pajamas
Your friends come busting into your room telling you about a party going on in an hour. You're in your pajamas in bed.... Please just stay in. You're already so comfy, why would you want to put on uncomfortable shoes when you could wear your slippers all night?!
8. It's freezing
There's snow and ice on the ground, and there is definitely a possibility of getting frostbite. It's negative temperatures, but it's warm in your house! Warmth beats cold, every time. Stay in.
9. You are exhausted
You felt yourself dozing off and daydreaming all day, and you haven't had a good night's sleep in days. If you go out, you'll most likely get home pretty late. If you stay in, you'll get a good night's sleep and feel rejuvenated for the next day.
10. You just aren't feeling it
If your gut says don't go, don't go. There's nothing wrong with staying in!
At the end of the day, no one can make you go out. You can beat FOMO and stay in and relax. You know you want to!!
