3 Ways To Stay Connected With Friends That Will Brighten Your Day

Just because you haven't seen each other in a while doesn't mean they're not there!

I know personally, I have not seen my college friends since March 6th, and all this time and distance has me missing them so much more. Everybody says that your college friends become your family, and the people who say that are 100% right! As much as I am looking forward too reconnecting with them in August, there is no time like the present! So, here are a couple of things I have done to stay in touch with my friends!

If you have some cash that you are willing to spend, a great website you could visit is https://sendafriend.co! This website allows you to pick out a stuffed animal of your choice and send it to someone you are thinking about with a personalized notecard! When it arrives to your friends house it will be in a baby blue box that says "Someone Loves You". Another great thing about this website is that when you go on it you get to spin a wheel for discounts! The first time I used it I got 10% off which was awesome! I would highly recommend getting this gift for somebody that you care about!

Another thing that you can do with your friends to stay connected is Zoom! Since all of our classes were on Zoom for the spring semester, we all knew how to use and would set up meetings with each other. We were able to watch YouTube videos, have dance parties, and just talk about our days all through this app. Zoom is 100% free and allows you to share your screen and send chats in private or to the whole group!

The final thing that I enjoy doing with my friends is online games! In today's world, the internet provides so many free multiplayer games that you can play with your friends! My personal favorites are Uno, Club Penguin (for old times sake) and Guess Who! Although I only listed three, if you type in multiplayer games into Google you can find so many more!


Hopefully this gave you some ideas as to how to keep in close contact with some college friends that you are missing right now. But, do not worry everyone - August is right around the corner!

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?

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?
