7 Reasons Why Staying In Is Better Than Going Out

Some nights I bet your friends are begging you to go out and you think to yourself, "Why do I have to? I probably won't have that much fun." While going out with the right people in the right place can be fun, staying in can be just as good! For those nights you don't want to go out and sit in a crowded bar, here are some good reasons why staying in can be better!

1. No drama

Some nights when you go out with your friends, drinks can get the best of you and it can cause a little drama with people you probably don't talk to on a daily basis anyway. So, staying in can erase all that negativity and drama you normally wouldn't have to deal with.

2. Fun night with close friends

Nothing's better than having a fun night with your besties! Regardless if there's drinking involved or not, some nights you just need to be surrounded by your best friends. It's like they can almost fix any problem with just their presence. So ditch all the crowded bars with loud music and have some fun with your friends!

3. It's safer

Yes, just because you're keeping yourself safe when you go out with your friends, it doesn't mean others are. The best way to ensure your safety is to stay in! It probably sounds lame, but accidents can happen. There's nothing like knowing you and all your friends are safe at the end of the night.

4. Have some "me" time

If you don't want to hang out with anyone, staying in is your best bet. Who doesn't like to catch up on some "me" time? I know I do. So those nights when everyone is going out, stay in. Read a book, do some crafts and drink some wine. There's nothing like a little "me" time.

5. Catch up on your shows

I know for a fact that it can be hard to sit down and actually watch television during its scheduled programming. You could be two to three weeks behind on your favorite show! So, there's nothing like staying in, curling up on the couch and watching your shows for hours.

6. Don't have to get dressed up

There's nothing more tedious than spending time getting dressed to go out. If you're staying in, you can just sit back and relax without the worry of dressing up. Staying in doesn't require makeup, restricting clothing or hairspray.

7. Save money

There's nothing better than saving money and the best way to do that is to stay in! Sure after you order pizza, grab a case of beer or a couple daiquiris, there's some money spent. But, it's a whole lot better than getting your bar tab back at the end of the night and wincing.

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.

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.

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.
