10 Inexpensive Activities To Do With Friends

Every group of friends has moments when everyone is stumped by the question, "What should we do?" This list provides some excellent answers to this question that every friend can enjoy without needing too much money!

1. Have a movie night.

Ask each of your friends to suggest or bring a movie they would want to watch, then watch as many as you can. If you don't have time for everyone's movie, make it a weekly event until every movie is watched. This works well with TV shows as well!

2. Watch the sunset.

You can do this anywhere! Go on a nice drive, head to the beach or hike up a mountain for the best view.

3. Have a game night.

Pick out some games to play and have everyone play the same game at once or have several games going at the same time. To make it even more exciting, the games can be played tournament style.

4. Watercolor.

Painting can be hours of fun for a low price, and the paints and paint brushes can be used over and over again. Get creative and see what you and your friends can come up with!

5. Make a friendship playlist.

Think of songs that you and your friends listen to together and compile them all into one playlist. Car rides together will become even more fun when you can all belt out your favorite songs together.

6. Have a picnic.

Go to your local park and have a fun lunch outside on a picnic blanket. Everyone can either bring food from home or pick a sandwich up on the way over.

7. Go to Target.

You don't have to spend a lot of money to have a fun time at Target! There is so much to explore - including the clearance clothes and the $5 and under section. You could even pick up some toothpaste while you're there or some milk for your mom.

8. Have a clothes swap.

Ask all of your friends to try cleaning out their closets, once everyone has gone through and picked out the clothes they don't want have everyone get together. After making room for some new items everyone can look through the clothes to add some new items to their wardrobe for free.

9. Volunteer.

Every community has plenty of unique volunteer opportunities available. Some ideas of places to start could be animal shelters, local summer camps or soup kitchens. Volunteering is a positive way to spend your time and does not cost you a penny, and getting friends in on it too makes it that much better!

10. Perfect a recipe.

Whether it's chocolate chip cookies or chicken Parmesan, start with a simple recipe or one that you've made before and try it again and add some of your own flare to it. Put in some cinnamon or make a special sauce and see how it tastes. Every time may not be a success, but that's part of learning what will really make it the best!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
