An Introvert's Big Night In
BuzzFeed

Everyone likes to have a cozy night in every now and then. It feels nice to just kick back and relax after a long week. However, an introvert NEEDS these nights to thrive and function as a human being. As a fellow introvert myself, I decided to walk you through a day in the life of an anti-social person:

  1. Unwind
  2. Curl up on the couch
  3. Watch a Disney movie
  4. Or musical
  5. Or a new Netflix series
  6. Make your favorite home-cooked meal for dinner
  7. or bake cookies
  8. or a cake…
  9. Basically make yourself anything edible
  10. spend some time on your arts and crafts
  11. Clean your house
  12. Do your laundry
  13. Get too lazy to fold your laundry
  14. (If you’re of age) pop open your favorite bottle of wine
  15. Read a book
  16. Read another book
  17. Basically read your entire “To Read” list
  18. Spend countless hours on Pinterest
  19. Plan your wedding via Pinterest ideas
  20. Realize you don’t have a significant other
  21. Cry because you have no significant other
  22. Eat your feelings
  23. Feel better after eating your feelings
  24. Watch another Disney movie
  25. Sing along to said Disney movie
  26. Realize you are the next Disney Princess
  27. Sing to your dog so you can see if your voice has secret animal summoning powers
  28. Cry when your dog doesn’t enjoy your singing voice and runs away
  29. Spend time searching the Internet
  30. Watch the Spanish channel and see how much you understand
  31. Teach yourself a new life skill like a musical instrument
  32. or American Sign Language
  33. See what qualifications you need to be the next president of the United States
  34. Forgive your dog and snuggle up with him
  35. Give him a bath
  36. Brush his fur
  37. Clip his nails
  38. Make the entire night dedicated to your dog’s spa experience
  39. Check all of your social media
  40. See political opinions on Facebook from your Aunt Georgia
  41. Unfriend Aunt Georgia
  42. Scroll your Twitter timeline for three hours
  43. Scroll through your own tweets
  44. Laugh at your own jokes
  45. Go through your liked tweets
  46. Stalk your celebrity crush
  47. Imagine your life being married to your celebrity crush
  48. Continue wedding planning on Pinterest
  49. Check your email and pretend to have your life together for a few minutes
  50. Respond to one email
  51. Reward yourself by eating a gallon of ice cream
  52. Remembering you’ll have to be social if you go get more ice cream, so you decide against it
  53. Add things to your Amazon Wish List
  54. Remember you got paid today
  55. Spend your entire paycheck purchasing your Amazon Wish List
  56. Get ahead on homework
  57. Give up after two minutes of reading
  58. Get another snack
  59. Wait for your Amazon packages to arrive
  60. Write a song using the keyboard app on your phone
  61. Perform it live for your dog (because you know he loves your singing)
  62. Look at the clock
  63. See it’s 3:45
  64. Contemplate going to bed
  65. Decide to go to bed
  66. Curl up
  67. Scroll social media on your phone for another two hours
  68. Try to sleep
  69. Stay up thinking about how you don’t want to be social with others in the morning
  70. Fall asleep
  71. Repeat

It's okay to veg out. Let an introvert know you understand!!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
