10 Reasons Going Out Isn't So Easy

Every week, we get stuck in the same cycle of classes, homework, and projects, but as soon as it hits Thursday afternoon it's the weekend (or Friday if you made the biggest mistake and registered for Friday classes). From morning classes to the longest 10 minutes in your last class and rallying all night, here are 10 reasons why going out isn't as easy as people think.

1.) Sitting through classes.

Sitting in class knowing you're going out tonight makes focusing and actually paying attention that much harder. Your professors know that this is the only thing between you and the weekend, but don't hurry up any lectures so we can get out early and start the party.

2.) Downing coffee.

After having classes and school work all week, you're all sorts of wiped out. Therefore, I start pumping coffee through an IV so I don't fall asleep before we even make it out.

3.) Finishing last minute work.

Knowing I somewhat have my life together before going out makes it acceptable in my head. So I'm just going to get through all the last bit of homework that has to be done.

4.) Deciding on an outfit.

Trying to decide what to wear is probably the hardest decision I make every day. There are about 50 different vibes you can go with, depending on what you wear and every place you go has a different feel.

5.) Doing your makeup

Less is more, and we all know this, but why do I always end up piling on makeup? Watching makeup tutorials videos while doing my makeup always seems like a smart idea, but clearly, my capabilities of blending aren't there yet. For now ill just keep going with the drag queen look and hope for the best.

6.) The Pregame

We all over shoot on this one. Trying to drink everything you can in like an hour...it's not the smartest move. Make sure you remember it's a marathon to last all night, not a quick race.

7.) Line to get in

The wait to get in feels like an eternity and my feet are not meant to stand in heels for longer than like five minutes. Next time I'm skipping to the front of the line and walking in like all the movies.

8.) Mixing

I hope I'm not the only one that knows better than to mix what I'm drinking, but I somehow always do end up switching it up all night and always regret it the next morning.

9.) Ending up on the dance floor

I don't know whose idea it ever is or who lets me go out and start dancing, but I do not like you.

10.) Finally making it home

In reality, this is the best part of the night. Shoes are coming off, sweat pants are going on, and I'm crawling into bed. I don't plan on moving from my bed till it's time get ready for tomorrow night, so please don't disturb.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
