When I go on social media of any form i.e. Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram etc., I see photos and posts about people's nights out on the town. I see them all dressed up and fully made up and at times I wish I were in their shoes but then I think about how painful they probably are...
Nights in are probably twelve times as fun as nights out (considering I'm not of age to be drinking).
1. You can wear whatever you want.
You don't have to worry about looking a certain type of way or perfecting your makeup for a night out because the only place you are going is twenty feet, to the couch. Unless of course you wanna get dressed up for your night in, that's cool too. The limits are endless.
2. You can get caught up on your favorite show.
Personally, I have a binge watching problem. Especially since the majority of the programs I watch are on Netflix. So, when I'm at school or working; I don't let myself watch my favorite shows. Why? I have been known to prioritize tv shows over sleep...which is not good. Nights in let me catch up on my guilty pleasures without feeling guilty.
3. You can feast on junk food.
I legitimately go all out. Anything that is feasible I get. You gotta treat yourself sometimes. For example, most recently I made pierogis, (anyone who knows me, knows I have a pierogi addiction) pizza, cheesy garlic bread, and a cake. I did not consume these things solely on my own, though, if we're being honest...I definitely could have if I tried.
4. You can include friends.
Friends make everything better! Unless, they don't like to gorge themselves on junk food (every once in a blue moon). If they aren't about this life then they are probably gonna harsh your mellow. You'll probably laugh off those calories anyway! You'll make memories and probably accrue more inside jokes.
5. You are in the comfort of your own home.
No need to worry about forgetting something or worry about not dressing properly for the weather. You are in control of your whims when in your own house.
I highly suggest scheduling a night at home into your life. A night where you have no plans other than the things that you find fun and relaxing. It's important that you make time for yourself in life. A night in is a simple solution that helps heal your soul.
