Why Nights in are Bomb

Sometimes staying in is better than going out.

Why Nights in are Bomb
Galiana Clark

When I go on social media of any form i.e. Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram etc., I see photos and posts about people's nights out on the town. I see them all dressed up and fully made up and at times I wish I were in their shoes but then I think about how painful they probably are...

Nights in are probably twelve times as fun as nights out (considering I'm not of age to be drinking).

1. You can wear whatever you want.

You don't have to worry about looking a certain type of way or perfecting your makeup for a night out because the only place you are going is twenty feet, to the couch. Unless of course you wanna get dressed up for your night in, that's cool too. The limits are endless.

2. You can get caught up on your favorite show.

Personally, I have a binge watching problem. Especially since the majority of the programs I watch are on Netflix. So, when I'm at school or working; I don't let myself watch my favorite shows. Why? I have been known to prioritize tv shows over sleep...which is not good. Nights in let me catch up on my guilty pleasures without feeling guilty.

3. You can feast on junk food.

I legitimately go all out. Anything that is feasible I get. You gotta treat yourself sometimes. For example, most recently I made pierogis, (anyone who knows me, knows I have a pierogi addiction) pizza, cheesy garlic bread, and a cake. I did not consume these things solely on my own, though, if we're being honest...I definitely could have if I tried.

4. You can include friends.

Friends make everything better! Unless, they don't like to gorge themselves on junk food (every once in a blue moon). If they aren't about this life then they are probably gonna harsh your mellow. You'll probably laugh off those calories anyway! You'll make memories and probably accrue more inside jokes.

5. You are in the comfort of your own home.

No need to worry about forgetting something or worry about not dressing properly for the weather. You are in control of your whims when in your own house.

I highly suggest scheduling a night at home into your life. A night where you have no plans other than the things that you find fun and relaxing. It's important that you make time for yourself in life. A night in is a simple solution that helps heal your soul.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
