Reasons To Stay In With Your Best Friend

Rather Than A Night Out On the Town!

Reasons To Stay In With Your Best Friend
Victoria Leigh Keiser

We've all been there. You are exhausted from a long week of work and the idea of going out is daunting. You had these plans for a week, but something about them just doesn't seem right. Your best friend shoots you a text asking what the plans are and you're relieved when she mentions the possibility of staying in. As you throw on your pajamas, you pop the cork and tell your best friend to come over. Why go out when you can spend some quality time, gossiping and laughing with your favorite person on the planet? The perks of staying in with your BFF heavily outweigh the stress of going out. Here are the pluses of your night in:

1. You Don't Have to Dress Nice

Why bother doing your hair and makeup when you know your best friend is going to love you for you?



2. You Can Eat All Your Best Friend's Food

Instead of counting your calories, forget your diet and raid the pantry (for free!) with your bestie!


3. You Can Drink Wine Until the Sun Comes Up

No need to worry about spending too much money on alcohol when you have plenty of wine to go around.



4. You Don't Have to Worry About Drama

But you sure can catch up on the latest gossip!



5. Transportation Isn't A Worry

Who needs Uber? Your best friend's house is basically your home too. Don't worry about driving because you are safe and sound with them.



6. You Don't Have To Spend A Ton of Money

Instead of worrying about your budget, 'Treat Yo Self' to a night of free movies and endless popcorn.




7. You Don't Have To Worry About Entertaining Them

Sitting around and playing on your phones together can be just as fun as hitting the clubs.



8. You Can Ugly Cry To All Your Favorite Chick Flicks

Enough said.



9. You Can Listen to Any Type Of Music You Want

Don't worry about what the DJ is going to play -- country, pop, musicals, you are in control.



10. You Can Laugh Together For Hours

Whether it be at a silly joke or a ridiculous TV show, the simplest things could make you and your best friend laugh harder than you would with anyone else.



11. You Can Be The One and Only 'You'

Your best friend knows and loves you, through all your flaws and perfections. You don't need to put on an act to get their attention.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
