I’m a homebody, and every single one of my friends can attest to that. My lifestyle consists of some very important and essential things such as, my bed, my laptop, sweatpants and mac and cheese. Which in this case are the elements of a lazy college weekend. Just looking at what I usually end up doing on a normal school night or on the weekends I have the homebody style down to a science.
What it means to be a homebody:
-You look forward to the end of the day, all day. Hands down the best feeling is just not thinking about the formula you couldn’t understand in chemistry, missing the bus or your package in the mail room gets lost. It all goes away and you throw on sweatpants and grab a bag of chips and just veg out.
-When Friday rolls around social interaction gets puts on hold. An entire week of having to talk to people who you probably don’t want to talk to anyways is not necessary.
-You try and get out of many social situations that your friends (mine included) try to drag you to. Even if you do decide to actually socialize you can make an appearance and leave and expect your bed to be waiting.
-You will usually do one thing on your To Do list and then presume to reward yourself with several Netflix shows. I mean it’s only necessary to treat yourself.
-Owning going out/ nice clothes are not visible in your closet. Sweaters, yoga pants, t-shirts and oversized sweatshirts will always match and take no time at all to pick out. Besides, trying to pick out something cute and doing your hair and makeup is way too stressful especially for those (aka me) who are particualarly clueless.
–Settling for vending machine snacks or ordering domino’s over walking to the dining hall. I do this a little too often. Just knowing that there is snow on the ground or the fact that you have to get out of bed, put on actual clothes and walk there is a struggle all on its own.
–The relationship with Netflix is too strong to break. It’s hard to break away from your favorite show when you become attached to the hot main character and feel like your soul purpose in life is to watch it. Come on admit it, we all have that show!
