Electrical problem? car shorts out? idk

Sorry if this has been discussed before, i searched before I posted up and couldn't find anything similar.

My car has been shorting out or something. it started yesterday, and everything electrical just shut off but the engine was still running. I'm not sure if the fuel pump turned off too, but i didn't notice any engine difference, then it all just turned back on, like it reset itself.

And just today it wouldn't start, like i opened the door and no interior lights came on, then when i turned it to accessory still nothing, and i tried to start it and again no response. I went inside my buddy's house and asked for a jump, came back outside to try it while i was waiting for him to pull around and it randomly worked?

I don't know what's going on, but any help is appreciated... cause this is making me nervous.

Check the battery connections and see if they are loose.
