2. Sketch something

3. Read your high school journal

You know, the entries where you thought your 20’s were gonna be “so awesome” and you’d be taking shots and meeting hot guys/girls every night while simultaneously climbing the ranks in a Devil Wears Prada type high-powered but entry level job. 

4. Write in a journal

Journalism is an amazing way to gain insight into your feelings and to record moments from your daily life. Date your entry and write about how you're feeling, what you're seeing and what you're thinking about. Journaling is most effective if it becomes a habit, so try to write in your journal more often than just Saturday nights.

5. Clean

Clean your entire house and wash your sheets. Make meals for the week ahead. Figure this is a Sunday kind of activity but you are an overachiever. Lay awake in bed and wonder if this is why you’re alone.

6. Plan a fun activity with friends

Become depressed and angry when your friends flake out one by one. Consider following through with said plans alone. Get drunk and cry about how you will probably die alone.

7. Write a short story

Writing a short story often seems daunting, and you may be worried that you don't have enough creativity. However, if you just start typing, you may be surprised at the ideas that come out. If you already have an idea, map it out by creating an outline or a plot arc. Then get to work writing your story

8. Plan to watch a movie and drink a glass of wine and have a relaxing night in

9. Smoke some weed alone on your balcony

Get higher and higher as you really start to figure out life, you know? Realize you’ve been looking forward to this moment for an entire week. Roll up another one to deal with the crushing reality of this realization.

10. Light some candles and decide you’re “totally going to figure out your life tonight”

Begin by making a list of your goals. Take a break to paint your nails. Take another break to see what is in the fridge and eat a slice of cheese, saying that’s all you’ll have for the rest of the night. Return to your list. Feel overwhelmed. End up taking pulls of chocolate syrup directly out of the squeezie bottle that you found buried in the condiment shelf in your fridge. Note that the expiration date was 4 months ago. Keep squeezing.

11. Play the Sims

Cry onto your keyboard because your Sim has more friends than you.

12. Wallow

Make a date with a tub of hummus, your bed, and trashy romantic comedies (if you are a girl) or Cracked.com (if you are a dude). Google your ex’s name. Aggressively masturbate to a photo you find of them with their new significant other. Consider purchasing a cat.

13. Walk in a city

Walking in an urban area can be just as interesting as walking in nature, and you're sure to see a lot of interesting shops and people along the way. If you live in or near a city, wander a bit downtown and explore the parks, boulevards and unique sights

14. Visit the Taj by moonlight, India

There’s no such thing as an unflattering angle of the Taj Mahal, the world’s most beautiful building, commissioned by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as a memorial to his beloved wife. But the love and sadness embodied by the Taj are never more palpable than during the full moon, when the complex is opened at night. At this time, visitors are hushed into silence by the building’s ethereal form, rising melancholically from the riverbank yet seemingly shimmering with life.

15. Go star-gazing

Stargazing can be aided by telescopes or binoculars, but you don't need any special equipment to enjoy the stars. Simply find a quiet, dark place and look up. Try and identify constellations and planets, and break out the telescope if you have one. If you live in a densely populated area, you might have to take a drive to find an area with less light pollution.

16. Dive into a good book

I'm an avid reader, but I still feel like it's hard to make time for really immersing myself in an enthralling piece of literature. A solo Friday night is the perfect time to get through a good chunk of a book you've been meaning to read, if not finish it entirely.

17. Google “things to do alone on a Friday night”

Staying in alone tonight? Google for it what to do on Friday night
