To stay in or go out, that is really the question.

On a Friday or Saturday night, when your best friend is determined to enjoy her life as a fast and flirty 20-something, sometimes you just feel like a mature, tired 30-something and want to stay in.

Sometimes you just can't make it to the club and the idea of throwing back Fireball until 2 am just isn't appealing. The pressure of the outside world, however, can make that decision clouded and tinged with guilt.

Presenting our second episode of the new Elite Daily Original Series, 5 Stages: If you've ever wrestled with staying in on a night out, then you've most definitely gone through these five stages.
