The Struggles Of A Night Out

A girls thoughts before going out

The Struggles Of A Night Out
Bar A

Let's face it, every girl in college struggles when it comes to getting ready for a night out and it's completely normal. Wanting to look OK is definitely a must, but sometimes some roadblocks get in the way.

1. "Where should we go?"

Deciding where to go is the hardest part of planning your night. Wanting to go where "everyone is going" is usually the main focus, but sometimes getting that information isn't very easy.

2. "I have nothing to wear."

Trying not to be an "outfit repeater" is very stressful and can impact your mood significantly. Realizing "you have no clothes" even when you have a full closet can make getting ready a real pain in the ass.

3. "Does this outfit make me look fat?"

After hours of looking for the right outfit, it's necessary to ask your friends how you look and if you need to change. Even though you are far from looking fat, the question needs to be asked just for clarification.

4. "What should I drink?"

Deciding what to drink for the night is a real struggle. Beer guts aren't attractive, but wine hangovers are the WORST. Even though you need to question yourself weekend after weekend, the normal vodka soda is always your answer.

5. "I wonder if I'll see him..."

The best part about going out is seeing your crush. Even though half the time you don't even speak to him, seeing him at the bar is just enough, and a simple "hello" makes your entire night. Trying to find out where "he's" going is necessary for outfit planning and shots consumed.

6. "How are we getting there?"

Designating a DD is often awkward and the most common weekend problem. Taxis are expensive but finding a friend to drop you off and pick you up is a struggle. After 30 minutes of texting everyone in your contact list, finding the ride is a weight off your shoulders.

7. "I'm over this. Can we get pizza?"

Even though the events leading up to going out are often stressful and time-consuming, after about 2 hours at the bar, it's obviously time to indulge. Pizza seems to be the best after bar snack and the only food that will turn anyone's night around.

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.
