Whenever your friends and roommates are all drinking and going to the bar it can be difficult to tell them you're not going. It's always hard to resist the peer pressure and not let the fear of missing out get to you. But if you don't want to go, nobody is making you! It's completely normal to not want to go the bars and drink every weekend, it's actually the responsible decision. And trust me, you are not alone.

Here are 5 reasons why staying home on the weekends isn't weird and is completely beneficial.

1. Getting all dolled up takes so much effort 

If you're a girl, you know what i'm talking about. It's always fun to look nice but there is a point where it's just dreadful.

2. The couch is way more comfortable than the bar chair 

Bar stools suck and are always sticky, but you better believe that couch is comfortable. Not to mention hanging out on the couch will save your feet from hurting in those shoes.

3. The more you go out, the less outfits you have to wear 

I know i'm not the only one with this problem. Having nothing to wear is the biggest annoyance.

4. No hangover! 

Vuala! There is no headache, nausea, or dehydration.

5. It's really just a repeat of the last weekend 

Same bar, same people, same music, same drinks. Unless there is a special occasion it's all the same thing.

There is always a next time! The bar, your friends, and the drinks aren't going anywhere. Staying home when you feel like it isn't weird, it's relaxing and has a bunch of benefits. So, next time you don't feel like getting ready and going to the bar go ahead and sit on the couch and enjoy your relaxing night.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
