You know you don't have any real plans. You already know you just want to stay in your room and binge on pizza, Netflix, and antisocial-ness.
It's anywhere from Monday to a Sunday night... you're chillin' like a villain in your room when all of the sudden the familiar buzz of your phone interrupts what you were previously doing. You hesitantly grab it to see who wants something from you. Looking down at your screen you see the text “Let's hang out." Don't be fooled, this text can come in many different forms, such as “Come over," “Let's do something," “What are you up to?" My all time favorite is “Be ready at 9." Uh, no? Most nights you would be thrilled that people actually want to hang out with you, but tonight is different. Your problem is that no one even realizes how much work and effort it is to get ready and then go spend time with people. You have already committed yourself too far into this night of being as lame as you are content.
First solution, pizza.
Pizza makes everything better. Everything. It doesn't matter what kind of pizza and it doesn't even matter if you're a dipper. Pizza can and will improve everything in your life. This college staple can be eaten at the best and the worst times of your life, and it's always there for you.
Second solution, Netflix.
Sweet and wonderful Netflix. Like pizza, you can turn to the holiness of Netflix whenever life puts too much on your shoulders. There is nothing better or more comforting than curling up in a ton of blankets and overindulging in the instant stream of television or movies. All of your friends want to go outside and interact with your peers, but you just aren't about that tonight. You'd much rather watch the movie you've been wanting to watch, or re-watch your favorite series. The options of what to watch are absolutely endless and oh so tempting. Soon, it's 2 a.m. You'll check your phone to see all of the pictures and tweets of what happened without your presence.
Third Solution: Antisocial-ness.
People, conversation, and words, it's tough being a social butterfly. The amount of energy it takes to have a decent conversation is truly tiring. You have to engage in discussion, listen, and respond appropriately, and most importantly act interested in what the other person is saying. For a while, this is all great and fun. After a few hours though, mingling gets old pretty fast. The quick fix to the ever tiring social behavior is to simply to not be social. Lock yourself in your room and don't talk to anyone, unless it's the pizza delivery guy.
So, right when you see a text that goes along the lines of “We're hanging out tonight," immediately swerve that with the response “I can't come, I have plans already." Order your pizza, turn on your Netflix, and do not communicate with any of your close friends.
