19 Internal Debates A Girl Has When Deciding If She Should Stay In Or Go Out

by Ashley Fern

To go out, or not to go out -- that is the question we find ourselves asking every weekend. Sure, you're exhausted from the work week, but didn't you slave away in your cubicle for this two-day release?

You know you should be catching up on sleep because you feel a cold coming on, but you push that thought aside. Instead you fill your head with all the options that you could possibly get into over the weekend.

You debate with yourself if you should just suck it up and go out. I mean, what else are you going to do? Sit at home, order Seamless and watch Netflix? That does sound pretty ideal...

You internally debate with yourself for what seems like hours, asking yourself question after question. But how do you really know if you are going to go out or stay in? Well it goes a little something like this...

1. If you start a television show with a cult following before your shower, you're staying in; if you are re-watching "One Tree Hill" for the fourth time, you're going out.

2. If you have a boy to hang out with, you're staying in; if you can't remember the last time you got laid, you're going out.

3. If you haven't done laundry in two weeks, you're staying in; if you just bought a new outfit, you're going out.

4. If you haven't showered in three days, you're staying in; if you washed your hair this morning, you're going out.

5. If you exhaled half a pizza pie during your lunch break, you're staying in; if you had salad for lunch, you're going out.

6. If it's 8 pm and you haven't heard of any plans, you're staying in; if it's someone's birthday, you're going out.

7. If you're hungover from last night, you're staying in; if you stayed in last weekend, you're going out.

8. If it's raining outside, you're staying in; if it's clear skies, you're going out.

9. If your phone is in the red battery zone, you're staying in; if you're fully charged, you're going out.

10. If you have a family obligation in the morning, you're staying in; if you have a bed date with Netflix the next day, you're going out.

11. If you are on a diet, you're staying in; if you can't remember the last time you swore off alcohol, you're going out.

12. If you ate a weed edible earlier in the day, you're staying in; if you took Adderall instead of your vitamins, you're going out.

13. If you accidentally got drunk at dinner, you're staying in; if you purposely pregamed during dinner, you're going out.

14. If you're having a bad day and your ex will be out, you're staying in; if you look great and your ex will be out, you're going out.

15. If you worked late all week and don't remember what sleep is, you're staying in; if you want to keep your no-sleep bender going and don't care about your immune system, you're going out.

16. If you are a tired, casual drunk, you're staying in; if you are a functioning, blackout alcoholic, you're going out.

17. If you want to make your parents proud and convince them you are really an adult, you're staying in; if you want to keep proving them right, you're going out.

18. If you haven't gotten paid this week, you're staying in; if it's payday, you're going out.

19. If you want to have a productive morning, you're staying in; if you're going to day drink the next day, you're going out.
