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.)
