It's Okay To Stay In For The Night Instead Of Going Out

Do you ever feel lame or guilty for not wanting to go out every once in a while?

It's summer! Which means (if you're lucky) more time to do whatever you want. You have more freedom to go out on a Tuesday night for dollar drinks and don't have to worry about possibly missing class the next morning. But what if you don't want to go out almost every night of summer with your friends? Does that make you lame? Absolutely not.

It can get repetitive and old real fast if you continue to go out almost every single night. Often we have other responsibilities during summer like jobs, summer classes and making sure you don't do any dumb shit. So, it's probably in our best interest to say "no" every now and then to going out. Also, why would you want to feel like shit for 99.9% of summer?

It's amazing to me how people can go on week streaks of doing nothing but getting drunk. I kind of envy that because how is everything functioning in their body after that point? Some of my best friends are like that and I still haven't quite figured out how to master it, then again I don't think I want to.

Call me lame or whatever but staying in my cozy bed sounds so much better than getting crunk at a bar with a bunch of forty-year-old tourists. Some girls are into that nowadays, but that's a definite no from me.

It's so easy to get FOMO for not wanting to go out, but that's your own decision and nobody will think less of you for it. If they do, then they aren't good friends. We all have our own responsibilities and don't necessarily enjoy what comes with never-ending partying. Most importantly, remember that you aren't the only one that chooses your bed over a night out.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
