19 Excuses You've Used As The Girl Who HATES Going Out

Paramount Pictures

If you're like me and hate going out any day of the week or even just leaving your room, then you know what I'm talking about. But don't confuse this with hanging out with friends. I enjoy hanging out with friends but going to the bars sounds like a nightmare. Maybe it's because I'm 21 now, and the fear of getting caught isn't there anymore, but to be completely honest, I was never really a fan of the bar scene. Or really anything that requires me to leave my bed.

So, here are 19 excuses you have likely used if you, too, hate doing anything.

1. "Oh, I have too much homework to get done this weekend."

School comes first.

2. "I'm going home this weekend, maybe next week."

Sometimes this is actually true.

3. "I'm too broke to go out."

They don't need to know about your secret savings account.

4. "I already have plans with some other friends."

Yeah, the TV show.

5. "I have a date."

With Netflix and some ice cream 😏😏😏

6. "I need to go to the gym early Saturday morning."

It doesn't matter if you haven't worked out in years.

7. "I just don't get that thirsty on Thursdays."

Classic.

8. "I have roommate bonding this weekend."

Sure, playing the Wii can wait, but not to you guys.

9. "I'm pet/house sitting and can't just leave."

This especially works if you don't have any pets or know anyone with a house.

10. "I need to clean my room; it's a mess."

Always a good excuse.

11. "Can't, I have to go grocery shopping."

Because you know Walmart restocks on Fridays.

12. "I don't have anything to wear."

Classic girl line.

13. "Um, not in this weather."

Rain at 4 pm? No, thanks.

14. "I don't want to run into that guy I ghosted."

Unlikely to happen, but it could!

15. "My shoes will get ruined and I just bought them."

Yeah, three years ago.

16. "I had a long day and I'm tired."

One class can really take a lot out of you.

17. "I need to wash my sheets."

It's been months, but now it's imperative for them to be washed.

18. "I'm not in the mood to hear the same song for hours."

You gotta admit that the music gets repetitive.

19. "I just don't want to."

Sometimes, plain, old honesty is the key.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
