3 Entirely Logical Reasons To Move Back Home

Laundry

I would hate to be laundry, it may be the one thing universally hated more often than Mondays. Try moving back home and roping your parents into doing your dirty work. Sure, they haven't done your laundry since you were in elementary school but why not give it one more go? To make sure you aren't stuck with laundry duty, make your mess so insufferable that your poor parents have no choice but to interfere. Sure, you're giving up privacy, independence and a large amount of self-respect, but on the plus side you don't need to separate colors and whites any more.

Healthy Eating Habits

College is really just a deep-fried trap. The dining hall food is concerning, you have to choose between brown-ish lettuce or buttered goodness and nobody can blame you for going for the latter. Fresh produce can only be acquired from a grocery store, which requires a car, a budget, and time–who has that? Moving back home will put an immediate end to any late night pizza calls, because unlike your roommate who decided to go in on a medium pokey sticks because she has a research paper due tomorrow too, your parents eat 3 meals a day and after around 11 "the kitchen is closed." Your freshmen fifteen disappears so quickly you might even miss it.

So You Can Be Told What To Do

Every 20-something is hopelessly looking for direction, yes? Switch majors, switch schools, switch friends, switch careers, switch haircuts, then regret it. Well here's an easy solution! Move back with Mom and Dad, they'll tell you exactly where to go next and suddenly you'll know what you want to do with your life.

5 Do's and Don't of Dating

DO...

... get food after the movie. Fearful of awkward pauses? Worry not! If nothing else, be a film critic for the night. Unless you saw different movies, there should be plenty to talk about!

DON'T...

... just go for the show. Movies may seem safe and comfortable, but by skipping dessert you may end the night knowing more about Channing Tatum than your real life date!

DO

... come prepared! This means be prepared to say yes to the check and prepared to say no after dinner. If you have boundaries for a date, know them. 

DON'T

... be stubborn. If you offer to pay twice and your date still declines, thank him and move on. Sometimes a guy really wants to pay, and why should we end chivalry?

DO

... look good. This may seem like a no-brainer, but we all get lazy. And sometimes that's okay, but on date night? Cover up any blemishes, be sure to shave and maybe wear those jeans that fit perfectly. 

DON'T

... decide to break in your brand new, beautiful, pumps. And leave that vibrant eye shadow for another night if you haven't tried the look before. Whether you're off to a dive bar or a five-star restaurant, you should be comfortable and confident. Choosing a signature look guarantees that he won't take his eyes off you and you won't be checking for mirrors all night!

DO

... make an event out of it! From fairs to up and coming bands, local and not-so-convential destinations are great date ideas!

DON'T

...  go to an opening night of anything other than a show. A bar's first night may sound like a good time, but often restaurants are unprepared in the kitchen and in service. This idea risks you and your date leaving hungry and frustrated.
