We all know that in college, there are the people who like to party and there are people who don't. There are some people who want to go out occasionally and some people who don't.


I'm one of those people. So here are 10 things I do instead of going out to party.


1. Homework

How lame, but when I think about it, I'd rather get my homework done on a Friday then continuously putting it off until last minute. I can honestly say, this didn't happen very often. What can I say? It's the weekend.


2. Play my roommate's Xbox

I mean, who DOESN'T want to shoot zombies?

3. Watch Netflix

Binge-watching "Friends," "That 70s Show," "The Walking Dead," "Saw," and so many awesome shows is one of my go-to ways of entertainment.

4. Reading

I can honestly tell you that I've read SO many books while my roommates were out partying. I love reading.

5. Have a party by yourself

I mean, who says you can't have a good time in your own space? (Note: This is for those over the age of 21.)

6. Go to bed early

I mean, sure staying out until 2 or 3 AM is fun, but getting a full night's rest is even better.

7. Invite a friend over

Not everyone you know likes to party. Inviting a friend over is a great way to have fun without going out.

8. Grab a bite to eat on or off campus

I mean, If your campus has food that's open, why not?

9. Find an event that is happening on campus

Honestly, campuses have things happening even during the weekend and at nights. I can't tell you how many movies, games of condom bingo, and other random events I went to/go to.

10. Other social media platforms

We all know that millennials love social media. Why not get caught up on everything your favorite celebs are up to?


If all else fails, go out to a party the next party your friends/roommate(s) go to. But just know, there are other FUN things to do, without partying.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
