Oh, the Places You’ll Go!

Hanging out with friends is a guaranteed great time – but what if you can’t figure out what to do? Here’s some ideas of things you can do with your friends!

If you are in the mood to get out and go:

  • Go shopping at local stores! You can find really cute clothes and accessories while also promoting local businesses and getting to know your city.
  • Go to the park and have a picnic! You can make it healthy, or you can eat some comfort food that you all love. After you’re done eating you can go on a bike ride or throw a Frisbee!
  • Go watch a sports game! Tailgating is super fun, and dressing up in your school colors or a theme is a great way to show school spirit.
  • Set up a photo shoot! If someone you know has a nice camera, you can dress up and take pictures – whether they are serious or goofy, just have fun with it!
  • Go on a road trip (have your parents drive or go with an older sibling)! You can go on a college visit, try new restaurants, go to a music festival, or whatever fits with your schedule.
  • Go to a museum! Art museums are fun to walk around, and science museums are a great way to get hands-on and have a more exciting experience.

If you are in the mood to stay in:

  • Have a bonfire! You can roast marshmallows and share stories while getting in a fall mood.
  • Start a new TV series! If you have a streaming service, this is a good way to get involved with a show and a fun way to bond over something with your friends.
  • Have a “spa day” full of relaxation! You can do nails, face masks, or whatever else you want.
  • Turn on some music and have an impromptu dance party! No matter how big or small of a group you have, there will be a lot of laughs and fun.
