1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).
2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.
3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.
4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)
5. The toilet seat will remain down.
6. There's more money to spend on yourself.
7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.
8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.
9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).
10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.
11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).
12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.
13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).
14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).
15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

How Girls Night Out Turns Into Girls Night In
To go out or not to go out this Friday night...
5h

Milk + Blush
We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.
Pregaming the pregame
You've been talking up this night pretty much all week. There's a list of songs to play next to your calc notes and you've already picked out the perfect outfit in your mind, then changed it 10 times before returning back to the original outfit.
Coming home after a long day
No matter if you worked ten hours or ten minutes, you've made it! You are home, the bra is coming off, and the fun is about to start!
Waiting patiently for your roommates to come home/your friends to come over
Although you're day's finished, that doesn't necessarily equate that your girls are also free and able to get this party started. So you clean your apartment, pluck your eyebrows, make some tea, watch some Netflix, pretty much anything to pass the time before your people arrive.
People have arrived and it's time to eat
FINALLY everyone is in the same room and it's time to get this party started...and no party can get truly started without getting some food down first.
Talking about going out but make no real effort actually get ready to go out
You'll start getting your makeup on once this episode of the Bachelor is over, or once you finish this bag of chips, or really at the end of whatever task is currently at hand, which is clearly more interesting than getting your thighs in that pair of skinny jeans.
Looking at the clock and realize, it's game time...and you're just not ready
You don't know when 4:30 turned into 10:30 but somewhere in between tacos and hearing about that guy in your roommates accounting class asking that freshman out via Twitter, time truly got away from you and you're starting to ponder if you even really want to go out.
Breaking out the wine because, well, if you're going out you may as well have one drink first.
Because one glass of vino never hurt anyone...
Getting into a really deep philosophical conversation about life its meaning and your role in it
You can't really identity how this conversation started but all you know is that you can't really stop talking about what it all really means, like really really means.
You start giving each other 'the look'
Better known as, 'are you thinking about how good yoga pants would feel right now also' look.
Weighing the options
Going out...not going out...going out...not going out
Changing into your PJs, putting your hair in a messy bun, getting comfy on the couch and getting ready for your girls night in
Because sitting at home with the girls watching a movie starring Ryan Gosling's abs and talking about life is much better than attempting to put on heels and eyeliner anyways!

The Importance Of The Friends You Make In College
They're not just your friends, they're your family.
31 December 2024

College is supposed to be one of the best times of your life. However, it is also one of the toughest transitions to make. There is so much anticipation and excitement leading up to moving into college. It doesn’t truly hit you until move in day when your parents say their final goodbyes and you see their car drive away. You truly are on your own. I was blessed to meet my best friends within the first week of school. Your college friends are so important and here’s why:
They’re willing to get food with you at anytime of day.
Photo by Klara Kulikova on UnsplashWhether you’re craving a slice of pizza at three in the morning or want to order food to your dorm because it’s too cold to walk to the dining hall, your college friends are down for anything. They share the same love for food as you do and if you’re as lucky as me, you might even have a roommate who gets the same thing from your favorite restaurant as you and is willing to split it. There is nothing like bonding with your best friends while enjoying some good food.
They’ll motivate you to go to the gym.
Photo by bruce mars on UnsplashMy alarm to go to the gym goes off at 10 a.m. and I normally roll over and snooze it. However, my college friends will text me telling me to get out of bed because we’re going to the gym whether I want to or not. I love having friends to workout with and motivate me with their workout routines. It’s also an added bonus that I have friends to get lunch with afterwards.
They’ll have deep talks with you late at night.
I know if I call one of my friends crying in the middle of the night, they’ll be at my room in 30 seconds without me even saying anything. If I’m ever not sure what decision to make, they talk me through it and lead me to make the right choice. Whether it’s a senseless conversation about how many dogs you want when you have your own place or a serious life discussion, your college friends are always going to be willing to talk.
They're your study buddies
Photo by Alexis Brown on UnsplashThey understand how important your grades are to you and they share the same interest of doing well in school. They're always down for a trip to the library (and are willing to stop for coffee beforehand for those late night study sessions). They always motivate you to study hard so you can go out on the weekend.
Their closet is your closet.
Do you ever look at your closet and think that you have absolutely nothing to wear? (Even though there is a full closet of cute clothes right in front of your eyes). One of the many perks of your college friends is having a new closet to browse through. You now have cute outfits to borrow and your friends can also borrow your clothes that you’re tired of wearing.
They’re your support system.
Photo by Melissa Askew on UnsplashWhether something really good happens or something really horrible happens, your college friends are the first people you want to talk to. When something good happens, they’re the people who want to congratulate you. When something bad happens, they know all the right things to say to cheer you up (in most cases it involves a trip to the dining hall to get some cookie dough ice cream).
They’re your second family.
You spend every waking minute with these people; you’re bound to become close like family. I’m thankful for my college friends for caring for me and supporting me like my own family does. The memories I share with these people are unforgettable. My college experience would not be the same without these friends in my life.
I could not be more grateful for the friends I’ve made at school. They make the bad days easier, and the good days even better. I am so lucky to have met such great people to share my college experience with. My life wouldn’t be the same without them.

Student Life
13 Real Thoughts Every College Student Has At Some Point
I am broke, tired, and hungry. Leave me alone.
31 December 2024

Good Call
There are a few thoughts that go through a college student's mind on a day to day basis. Some of those thoughts come from class, some of then come from when you are bored in class. Here are sixteen thoughts that college students think of on a day to day basis.
Hit me! Pay my tuition.
"Make sure to look both ways before crossing" was meant for little kids and teenagers in high school. It is fair game in college because we are all broke and need to find ways to pay of loans.
 If I watch Tasty videos, I'm basically a chef.
Do not lie, we all watch those Tasty videos on Facebook and try to make the dishes we see. Once you are done making that meal, you suddenly feel like a chef and it is a pretty good feeling. Or am I just the only one?
I am going to take the best nap after this class.
After forcing yourself to go to class, you deserve a nice reward.
Do I need to go to this class? I have not skipped it yet.
When in doubt, skip. Everyone deserves a personal day.
I am going to this event because it has free food.
The event might be good and it might be bad, either way, you get free food out of going. I highly recommend going to events on campus, you never know what you might like.
How long can I procrastinate before I really have to do this paper?
We have all had that one paper that you just can't force yourself to start but how long will it take for you to start it? The night before? Two hours before class? Will it ever get done? The world may never know...
I just want to go home so I can play with my pet.
Do you ever just wish that you can cuddle your pet forever because you miss it so much? Nothing is better than going home and cuddling your pet for hours because you both missed each other so much.
Why did I spend all of my money? I just got paid.
I always promise myself that I will save my money when I get paid but then I see sale signs and food and then I become broke.
Friend: Did you see the dog on campus? Me: WHERE WHERE WHERE WHERE?!
If you hear that there is any animal on campus, you will try to find it and pet it. Petting someone else's animal can relieve stress.
How many Insomnia cookies do I want to order today?
If you do not have an Insonmia Cookie shop near you, I feel bad. I can devour so many of their cookies while doing my homework.
The Professor better cancel class or else I will.
The weather can be horrible outside and Professors may not cancel but in my opinion, I think that gives you jurisdiction to cancel yourself. I am not going to risk my health to sit in class when the powerpoint is online.
"Do you give student discounts?"
I live for discounts and sales. I am a college student, I can't afford to spend money on regular priced items when there are sale items.
I do not want to check my bank account. I will not check my bank account.
The only time you should check your bank account is when you get paid. Other than that, you are setting yourself up to be sad.
