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 known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
