Why I'm Okay With Being A Homebody
www.pinterest.com

I’ve always been somewhat of a “homebody” you could say. I would much rather stay in than go out. Being in college, I sometimes feel like I don’t fit in because when my friends are going out, or going to the movies or so on, I would much rather binge watch a whole season of a show on Netflix, to be honest.

Being a homebody can come off the wrong way to people. I’m not a prude and I don’t hate people. I have friends, I swear, but I am also awkward around people at the same time. People always tell me I’m too uptight, and I am. I take my studies seriously and I want good grades. I’m paying thousands of dollars to get an education, so I’m taking it as seriously as I can. That doesn’t mean though that I can’t have a fun time or I disagree with people having a fun time. That also doesn’t mean that those that go out and have fun aren’t taking their studies seriously, they just spend their extra time in a different way.

I also don’t like being in new places. I would much rather be in the comfort of my home. I know where everything is and I can lay in bed and do whatever I want. I can wear whatever I want as well. I don’t have to wear makeup or fancy clothes. I don’t have to be uncomfortable and try to talk to people that I don’t even know.

I like to just lay in bed and relax and take naps. I would much rather relax when I have some time than get ready to go out with my friends. I like to lay around and do nothing at the end of a long day.

Being a homebody means I don’t have to wear makeup to impress anyone. Being a homebody means I don’t have to wear nice clothes and I don’t have to wear pants if I don’t want to. Being a homebody means I can lay in bed and be all wrapped up with blankets with not a care in the world. Being a homebody means that I can cuddle with my puppy. Being a homebody means I don’t have to deal with as much drama as most people do.

I honestly love being a homebody. I love to lay at home and just relax. I love to watch movies instead of going out. I love laying in bed and being comfortable. So no, I’m not a prude. No, I don’t care what I missed when you went out. No, I don’t care if you go out and have a good time because I am having a fun time just chilling out and watching Netflix.

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.
