The dreadful day has come, the day that you even put in your planner a week in advance that reads "night out with friends." I love going out, or even just getting lunch with a friend, don't get me wrong, but damn we all need a break sometimes. You wait by your phone in hopes of the friend canceling first so you don't seem like the loser in the situation.

Minutes soon turn into hours and you have to whip up that good excuse that seems believable to your friend you're about to cancel on.

My cat ran away and I have to spend the whole night looking for it.

I have Ebola and can't make it to the club.

 I accidentally shaved off both my eyebrows.

Someone robbed all of my clothes including what's on me.

I broke a nail and can't be seen like that.

 I suddenly am allergic to alcohol, weird?

I'm on house arrest and can't leave sorry.

 I actually forgot I made plans to eat with Jason Momoa.

 My dog ate my credit card and so I am left with no money.

Donald Trump said if I don't go out tonight he will resign.

My doctor told me that I need to stay in tonight for my health.

My mom said I can't hang with you tonight. I know I'm 22, but still, she's my mom and I have to listen.

My Amazon Alexa is holding me hostage and she said I can't leave.

I got a spray tan and ended up resembling a tangerine rather than Kim Kardashian.

Chrissy Teigen called me and needed a babysitter, so I knew I had to be there for her and John.

My dog is really going through it since his girlfriend dumped him, and I can tell he needs some emotional support tonight.

My fairy Godmother said I have to be back by midnight, and I just don't see that happening, so why even go out?

I'm cooking a turkey and it needs to be constantly monitored. Yes, I know Thanksgiving is over but I'm just craving turkey lol.

 I've been abducted by aliens, and they're actually pretty sweet, so I think I'm going stay here with them for the night.

 I'm taking my SAT tomorrow morning. Even though I already have taken it and got accepted into the college I wanted, I just wanted to see if I improved at all! I know, I'm just so random like that.

Actually, my boyfriend is taking me on a spontaneous trip to Jamaica! I'll send you a postcard though.

Or...

Hey dude, actually I'm really tired and Netflix just released a new "Black Mirror" series, so I think I'm going to stay in tonight. Love you, be safe and have fun!

I'm sure a lot of you are thinking that the last excuse is what you would probably send your friend in this situation, but hey, don't knock the other 21 excuses until you try em'.

Ancient Roman Kings: 7 Leaders of Early Rome

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe. The period when kings ruled Rome could estimate at 245 years.

Love Lost

Being the girl that is falling for the boy is never easy.

You constantly text my phone telling me that you want to see me and hang out, even though we may not have sex we cuddle and that’s intimacy in its own. I’m tired of buying you food and being there for you like a girlfriend when you consistently tell me you aren't ready for a girlfriend. I am constantly feeling I’m getting slapped in the face because I’m doing all these things and getting nothing in return. Every day I feel myself liking you more which is just crazy because why would I even waste my time liking someone there isn’t a future with. I just want you to be honest with me and with yourself, tell me how you feel from your heart, stop just saying you aren’t ready. You are wasting time telling me you aren’t ready because while you are “getting ready” some guy somewhere else is telling me that he likes me and thinks I’m beautiful and wants to date me. I’m not asking for much, but I at least want exclusivity because you ask me for all these things but in return you give me nothing.

Recently I was blessed to be a counselor at a wonderful camp, secluded in a cornfield somewhere in Virginia. I consider myself to be a seasoned camp counselor, as I have not only been a camper for most of my life but have been privileged enough to work multiple camps with all kinds of different facilities. I have worked camps with multi-thousand dollar facilities, with zip lines, rock walls, ropes courses, and boats. I have worked at camps with amazing water sports, camps with paintball, camps with canoes and paddle boats and floating blobs or trampolines in the middle of the water. I have worked at camps with in ground pools and camps without any pools, and even some camps with go-karts. I've had problem kids, kids who refuse to listen to anything I say, kids who sneak out after lights out to meet a significant other, and kids who are every camp counselors dream.

The United Nations (UN) has been in existence since June of 1945. Since then, the world has come together to work on and solve some of the harshest problems that face the Human Race. Be it children in societal ills like Human Trafficking, natural issues like Deforestation, or issues of extreme poverty, the UN has worked together in an attempt to make it a better place for us all. It's the only organization in the history of the world to bring people together in a willing, peaceful way; a feat that not even the League of Nations could do in the Post- WWI era. Why was it that one organization failed, and the other one is still going strong, 72 years later?
