10 Things To Do On A Friday Night In College When You Skip The Party

Partying isn't for everyone, and sometimes it's good to just take a break and chill with friends. Here are some fun alternative options to do on a Friday night with friends in college!

1. Game Night

From Cards Against Humanity to Mafia to Fibbage, there are so many fun games you can play with a group of friends! Maybe some fun Party Games or Strategy Games to challenge your friends and just have a good time laughing! This is how inside jokes come about.

2. Movie night

There's always a movie a few people haven't seen that everyone else in the group loves. Or else you can go with a classic Disney movie, no judegement here! Pop some popcorn, bring out the icecream and blankets and have fun laughing, crying, or getting pissed off at a movie plot as a group of friends. Girls Night? Just a group of friends? Scary Movie? There's something out these for every type of movie-watching group!

3. Go to Ice Cream

My friend group loves going to Baskin Robbins at least once a month. Cheap-ish ice cream, and we are regular enough that the workers know us by now! It's a good time to chat, eat delicious ice cream, and just relax after a long week of classes.

4. Go out to dinner!

I recommend Red Robin, because bottomless fries are the best, but any local restaurant or even a chain would do. Have everyone get dressed up, and go dine and pretend like you have money to spend!

5. Build a fort

You can never go wrong with building a blanket fort like when you were a kid. So, grab blankets and sheets, some couches and some chairs and be creative!

6. See a play/musical

Look and see if something is showing on campus or at a local theatre!

7. Go to a sporting event

Go support your school's sports teams and cheer on your fellow _______! (Lutes in my case!)

8. Chill

Hang out, tell stories, and just enjoy each other's company.

9. Sing-a-longs

I like to make Spotify playlists and make my friends guess what song it is, and then we all sing along!

10. Sleep

You've had a busy week, sometimes it's ok to just take a break and sleep. It can be rejuvenating and you'll have more energy for the next week! (Or at least the next day.)

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

428

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

Washington College

CSU

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
