5 Traditions You're Never Too Old For: Easter Edition

Many Easter family traditions include activities meant mainly for children. It might be embarrassing to take pictures with the Easter Bunny at the mall with your little cousins or play the egg-on-a-spoon game outside. If you're in college, some of these may feel tiresome and juvenile, and you might question how you ever possibly enjoyed them. But there are a few traditions that you're never too old to love.

1. Decorating Easter eggs

You’ll never be too old to dye eggs and decorate them. From writing secret messages on the eggs in wax to dipping them in the perfect shade of dye, there’s always something a little fun about dying eggs.

2. Easter egg hunt

Easily, you can turn this into the ultimate game of search and find. Your parents used to hide Easter eggs (practically) in plain sight, but now you have the chance to give your siblings the egg hunt of their lives. Make it difficult, and don't worry if you lose an egg or two along the way. Well, it won’t matter if they’re plastic ones.

3. Appreciate the flowers and spring weather

Usually around this time, there are flowers blooming and spring weather is imminent. Even if you’re not religious, you can take time to visit churches with beautiful floral decorations and elegant landscaping.

4. Eating chocolate bunnies, Cadbury eggs and Peeps

This is pretty self-explanatory. We're never too old for chocolate.

5. Having dinner with your family

If you celebrate Easter, then there's a good chance you have a traditional family dinner to celebrate. No matter how old we are, we're definitely never too old to love a home-cooked meal with the family.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
