Rather Than A Night Out On the Town!

Reasons To Stay In With Your Best Friend
Victoria Leigh Keiser

We've all been there. You are exhausted from a long week of work and the idea of going out is daunting. You had these plans for a week, but something about them just doesn't seem right. Your best friend shoots you a text asking what the plans are and you're relieved when she mentions the possibility of staying in. As you throw on your pajamas, you pop the cork and tell your best friend to come over. Why go out when you can spend some quality time, gossiping and laughing with your favorite person on the planet? The perks of staying in with your BFF heavily outweigh the stress of going out. Here are the pluses of your night in:

1. You Don't Have to Dress Nice

Why bother doing your hair and makeup when you know your best friend is going to love you for you?



2. You Can Eat All Your Best Friend's Food

Instead of counting your calories, forget your diet and raid the pantry (for free!) with your bestie!


3. You Can Drink Wine Until the Sun Comes Up

No need to worry about spending too much money on alcohol when you have plenty of wine to go around.



4. You Don't Have to Worry About Drama

But you sure can catch up on the latest gossip!



5. Transportation Isn't A Worry

Who needs Uber? Your best friend's house is basically your home too. Don't worry about driving because you are safe and sound with them.



6. You Don't Have To Spend A Ton of Money

Instead of worrying about your budget, 'Treat Yo Self' to a night of free movies and endless popcorn.




7. You Don't Have To Worry About Entertaining Them

Sitting around and playing on your phones together can be just as fun as hitting the clubs.



8. You Can Ugly Cry To All Your Favorite Chick Flicks

Enough said.



9. You Can Listen to Any Type Of Music You Want

Don't worry about what the DJ is going to play -- country, pop, musicals, you are in control.



10. You Can Laugh Together For Hours

Whether it be at a silly joke or a ridiculous TV show, the simplest things could make you and your best friend laugh harder than you would with anyone else.



11. You Can Be The One and Only 'You'

Your best friend knows and loves you, through all your flaws and perfections. You don't need to put on an act to get their attention.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
