We all know that in college, there are the people who like to party and there are people who don't. There are some people who want to go out occasionally and some people who don't.


I'm one of those people. So here are 10 things I do instead of going out to party.


1. Homework

How lame, but when I think about it, I'd rather get my homework done on a Friday then continuously putting it off until last minute. I can honestly say, this didn't happen very often. What can I say? It's the weekend.


2. Play my roommate's Xbox

I mean, who DOESN'T want to shoot zombies?

3. Watch Netflix

Binge-watching "Friends," "That 70s Show," "The Walking Dead," "Saw," and so many awesome shows is one of my go-to ways of entertainment.

4. Reading

I can honestly tell you that I've read SO many books while my roommates were out partying. I love reading.

5. Have a party by yourself

I mean, who says you can't have a good time in your own space? (Note: This is for those over the age of 21.)

6. Go to bed early

I mean, sure staying out until 2 or 3 AM is fun, but getting a full night's rest is even better.

7. Invite a friend over

Not everyone you know likes to party. Inviting a friend over is a great way to have fun without going out.

8. Grab a bite to eat on or off campus

I mean, If your campus has food that's open, why not?

9. Find an event that is happening on campus

Honestly, campuses have things happening even during the weekend and at nights. I can't tell you how many movies, games of condom bingo, and other random events I went to/go to.

10. Other social media platforms

We all know that millennials love social media. Why not get caught up on everything your favorite celebs are up to?


If all else fails, go out to a party the next party your friends/roommate(s) go to. But just know, there are other FUN things to do, without partying.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
