If there isn't an organization called "Girlfriends Against Fortnite" by now, I would be shocked. We have all seen the Snapchat stories and Instagram posts that are captioned with something like "The one photo I got of him not playing Fortnite" or "My boyfriend is cheating on me with this hot bitch called Fortnite."
While these posts are hilariously true, I think that the ladies who feel replaced by Fortnite need to recognize that this could be their chance for some WELL-DESERVED "me time." Your boyfriend is going to play Fortnite and I sadly don't see that changing anytime soon, but here are somethings that would be a much better use of your energy than watching him play.
1. Do some self-care
GiphyPaint your nails, make-up a new hairdo or makeup look, try meditation, TREAT YO SELF.
2. Go eat your favorite meal
GiphyWhether it's Chipotle or Jimmy John's, treat yourself to that one meal that always cheers you up. For me, it's some dank truffle Mac and cheese.
3. Watch that movie you've been dying to watch
GiphyOr that one chick-flick you haven't seen in a while. Nothing gives me a cathartic release of emotion quite like Titanic.
4. Start a new book (or finish the one you’ve been reading for a year)
GiphyThere is about a stack of half-read books on my night stand. That is a problem.
5. Call your mom, dad, grandma, brother, cousin and find out how their life has been
GiphyNo one knows you better than your family, and they will listen to you rant about your boyfriend's antics.
6. Go for a walk without a destination
GiphyYou know that saying 'stop and smell the roses'? Yeah, you should try that sometime.
7. Take a bubble bath
GiphyI love me a good lavender scented bubble bath. Maybe a cup of tea in tow. That sounds like a pretty lit evening to me.
8. Go get a massage
GiphyTake an hour to quiet your mind and just be touched by a stranger (not in a creepy way).
9. Workout
GiphyWorking out has always been a stress reliever for me. Nothing helps me calm down quite like a good back squat.
10. Go out for a girls dinner with your besties (or if your bestie is a guy that works too)
GiphyDrink some wine, eat some good food and talk about those things you can only talk about with your gal pals.
