Many times, when people think of a Friday night in college, they picture raging frat parties and endless bar tabs. While that might be true for some, there’s no shame in staying in to enjoy the comforts of your couch with homemade pizza and a $5 bottle of wine. (#SwugLife, amirite?) If you prefer lounging in your leggings over waiting in long bar lines, check out these home and kitchen items from Urban Outfitters to keep your abode cozy and yourself entertained.
Rapid Cold Brew Coffee Maker
Unless you’re already out and about, the last thing you want to do is leave the house for a cup of coffee. Make a cup of cold brew with this rapid brewer in 5 minutes flat—all you need is water and your favorite ground coffee.
Sipski Shower Wine Glass Holder
Just because you’re staying in doesn’t mean you can’t imbibe. Run a bath, get yourself a glass of vino, and check out this wine glass holder. On the flip side, on the nights you do wanna go out but don’t have time to pregame, use this holder while you get ready.
#SpoonTip: Please drink responsibly. For reference, you could probably consider more than one glass of vino in the bath to be irresponsible. Just sayin’.

Staying in and avoiding people may make you feel like you’re detoxing your social life, but what about your body?

You can make your own recipe or follow those in a provided booklet.
