Partying isn't for everyone, and sometimes it's good to just take a break and chill with friends. Here are some fun alternative options to do on a Friday night with friends in college!

1. Game Night

From Cards Against Humanity to Mafia to Fibbage, there are so many fun games you can play with a group of friends! Maybe some fun Party Games or Strategy Games to challenge your friends and just have a good time laughing! This is how inside jokes come about.

2. Movie night

There's always a movie a few people haven't seen that everyone else in the group loves. Or else you can go with a classic Disney movie, no judegement here! Pop some popcorn, bring out the icecream and blankets and have fun laughing, crying, or getting pissed off at a movie plot as a group of friends. Girls Night? Just a group of friends? Scary Movie? There's something out these for every type of movie-watching group!

3. Go to Ice Cream

My friend group loves going to Baskin Robbins at least once a month. Cheap-ish ice cream, and we are regular enough that the workers know us by now! It's a good time to chat, eat delicious ice cream, and just relax after a long week of classes.

4. Go out to dinner!

I recommend Red Robin, because bottomless fries are the best, but any local restaurant or even a chain would do. Have everyone get dressed up, and go dine and pretend like you have money to spend!

5. Build a fort

You can never go wrong with building a blanket fort like when you were a kid. So, grab blankets and sheets, some couches and some chairs and be creative!

6. See a play/musical

Look and see if something is showing on campus or at a local theatre!

7. Go to a sporting event

Go support your school's sports teams and cheer on your fellow _______! (Lutes in my case!)

8. Chill

Hang out, tell stories, and just enjoy each other's company.

9. Sing-a-longs

I like to make Spotify playlists and make my friends guess what song it is, and then we all sing along!

10. Sleep

You've had a busy week, sometimes it's ok to just take a break and sleep. It can be rejuvenating and you'll have more energy for the next week! (Or at least the next day.)

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
