10 Things To Do Instead Of Going To A Party
playbuzz

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.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
