It's Okay To Stay In For The Night Instead Of Going Out

Do you ever feel lame or guilty for not wanting to go out every once in a while?

It's summer! Which means (if you're lucky) more time to do whatever you want. You have more freedom to go out on a Tuesday night for dollar drinks and don't have to worry about possibly missing class the next morning. But what if you don't want to go out almost every night of summer with your friends? Does that make you lame? Absolutely not.

It can get repetitive and old real fast if you continue to go out almost every single night. Often we have other responsibilities during summer like jobs, summer classes and making sure you don't do any dumb shit. So, it's probably in our best interest to say "no" every now and then to going out. Also, why would you want to feel like shit for 99.9% of summer?

It's amazing to me how people can go on week streaks of doing nothing but getting drunk. I kind of envy that because how is everything functioning in their body after that point? Some of my best friends are like that and I still haven't quite figured out how to master it, then again I don't think I want to.

Call me lame or whatever but staying in my cozy bed sounds so much better than getting crunk at a bar with a bunch of forty-year-old tourists. Some girls are into that nowadays, but that's a definite no from me.

It's so easy to get FOMO for not wanting to go out, but that's your own decision and nobody will think less of you for it. If they do, then they aren't good friends. We all have our own responsibilities and don't necessarily enjoy what comes with never-ending partying. Most importantly, remember that you aren't the only one that chooses your bed over a night out.

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.
