The 7 Stages Of Lynchburg Boredom On A Friday Night

In the words of Michael Scott (with a twist), there ain’t no party like a Lynchburg Party, 'cuz the Lynchburg party don’t stop.

Well, as a senior in college at the largest Christian University on the face of the planet, I have pretty much seen all there is to see in the ever-growing metropolis of Lynchburg. The city of lights (from Cook Out)… well, they've lost their luster.

What is there to do in Lynchburg, Virginia? I have asked myself this question every Friday night for the past four years. Of course I have found things to do. However, it takes some creative thinking when you live in a college town that painfully resembles the activity level of Scranton, Pennsylvania. No offense to the Scrantonians out there, but I have had plenty of Michael Scott moments on Friday nights.

So with that said, what have I done on Friday nights? Here are the 7 Stages of Boredom when you live in Lynchburg, Virginia for four years.

1. Rearrange furniture.


What better thing to do than move some things around the apartment after staring at them for 30 minutes wondering what plan you will come up with for the night?

2. Create a MANIFESTATION BOARD with your roomie. #GIRLSNIGHT

Dream big. Plaster your future goals on your cute bulletin board you’ve had since freshmen year and decipher the next step in your “big plan.” There is a little Carly Fiorina in all of us girls, right?

3. #Jetpuffed


How many can I stuff in my mouth...?

Don’t try this at home, kids. Mom was right - never do this at sleepovers. #peerpressure

4. Facebook stalk our ex’s -

DUH.


It is the elephant in the room. We all do it. We all ask the same questions to our roommate when we are looking through their latest pictures. The conversations I KNOW you’ve had.

You: “He’s fat now, right?”

Roommate: “Totally fat.”

5. Rejuvinate your skin


Try and make avocado masks with freshly-squeezed lime juice... or with whatever other slightly-edible vegetable or fruit in the fridge you know you aren’t going to eat during the week.

6. Desperation

Roommate: Bowling?

You: *sigh* Okay.

7. There is one thing that both 7 stages of grief and boredom have in common: Acceptance.

And when all else surely fails... NETFLIX.


So if you have just moved to the area of Lynchburg, I leave you with a list that will for sure be of great use after four years. Cheers to the 'burg, and to Netflix.

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
