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.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
