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.

Being single can be great and awful at the same time. Yeah, it's awesome to have time to yourself to figure out who you are and make your own decisions. It would also be nice to have someone to go through life with, but it needs to be the right person. I haven't found that person yet and here's a few reasons why.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.
