7 Reasons Why Staying In Is Better Than Going Out
staticworld.net

Some nights I bet your friends are begging you to go out and you think to yourself, "Why do I have to? I probably won't have that much fun." While going out with the right people in the right place can be fun, staying in can be just as good! For those nights you don't want to go out and sit in a crowded bar, here are some good reasons why staying in can be better!

1. No drama

Some nights when you go out with your friends, drinks can get the best of you and it can cause a little drama with people you probably don't talk to on a daily basis anyway. So, staying in can erase all that negativity and drama you normally wouldn't have to deal with.

2. Fun night with close friends

Nothing's better than having a fun night with your besties! Regardless if there's drinking involved or not, some nights you just need to be surrounded by your best friends. It's like they can almost fix any problem with just their presence. So ditch all the crowded bars with loud music and have some fun with your friends!

3. It's safer

Yes, just because you're keeping yourself safe when you go out with your friends, it doesn't mean others are. The best way to ensure your safety is to stay in! It probably sounds lame, but accidents can happen. There's nothing like knowing you and all your friends are safe at the end of the night.

4. Have some "me" time

If you don't want to hang out with anyone, staying in is your best bet. Who doesn't like to catch up on some "me" time? I know I do. So those nights when everyone is going out, stay in. Read a book, do some crafts and drink some wine. There's nothing like a little "me" time.

5. Catch up on your shows

I know for a fact that it can be hard to sit down and actually watch television during its scheduled programming. You could be two to three weeks behind on your favorite show! So, there's nothing like staying in, curling up on the couch and watching your shows for hours.

6. Don't have to get dressed up

There's nothing more tedious than spending time getting dressed to go out. If you're staying in, you can just sit back and relax without the worry of dressing up. Staying in doesn't require makeup, restricting clothing or hairspray.

7. Save money

There's nothing better than saving money and the best way to do that is to stay in! Sure after you order pizza, grab a case of beer or a couple daiquiris, there's some money spent. But, it's a whole lot better than getting your bar tab back at the end of the night and wincing.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
