The Sweetest Thing


No matter what is going in the world around us, it is always nice to slow down and spend time with some friends. It has been surveyed in countless women's magazines that most women are not willing to give up dining with friends when trying to save money.

Women need something to look forward when going through a tough work week and having money worries. Grabbing a cocktail at the end of a long school day with girlfriends is sometimes the perfect solution to forgetting about every day stress.

"Mmm, I needed this," Michelle Forester says as she sipped her Flirtini last night. Michelle and I got together for dinner and drinks last night, after having exhausting weeks at school and each of our jobs. It's nice to catch up with her, laugh, and talk over drinking a delicious cocktail. We both agree that even though times are tough, we let it leave our brains for the time being, enjoy ourselves and not worry about the money we are about to spend.

Although it is not necessary to go out to a bar in Boston every weekend and spend $100 for a night, it is nice to have a quiet dinner with friends and reflect on the weeks' happenings. Over the summer, it was normal to go most nights. We even took trips to LA and Vegas without worrying about the insane amounts of money we were spending. All that we cared about was spotting celebs and finding the nearest In-N-Out Burger.

Now that we have gotten that out of our systems, we can start to save our money accordingly to invest in moving into an apartment, now that we are about to be "in the real world". But no matter what, Vegas or not, we will continue to have ritual girls night out dinners, whether they be at the Captial Grille or Panera Bread. You can't put a price on friendship, girl talk, and fabulous nights out.
