If you're searching for something unique to try with your friend group, here are five fun activities to try!

1. Make matching bracelets 

From someone who is not the most talented at this type of thing: it is not that hard. All you need to do is take a piece of cardboard, cut it into a circle, and cut eight evenly spaced slices in it. Take seven long strands of yarn and put them in the slots. Tie all the ends together in the middle of the cardboard and start moving the yarn from one slot to the empty one! Continue until you have the desired length. Tie it off and cut the excess off! I knot mine so it can't come off, but feel free to make a small hole to fasten it through!

2. Design initial flower signs 

This is something that I love to do and is so fun. All you'll need is a wooden cut out of your initial, glue, and fake flowers. Get whatever color flowers you want and start cutting their stems off. Glue the flowers to your wooden initial until it's full and then you're done!

3. Canvas paintings 

This is such a fun idea that I am dying to do with one of my best friends!! Get two canvases and paint. Each person starts with a canvas and their paint. After 1-2 minutes you switch. You keep doing this until the paintings are done!

4. Make a flower wall

This is a little more of a time consuming task, however I think it's worth it. All you need is something to attach the flowers to such as cardboard, Styrofoam, or a wooden board with holes in it, flowers and glue. Cut the flowers' stems off to the desired length and then glue the flowers to the attachment! Depending on how big you are making this, it could be time-consuming, but it is so cool once it's done!

5. Make matching sweatshirts

This is a simple and not a time-consuming project at all. All you need is an iron, clothing patches, and sweatshirts. Take the patches and iron them on the sweatshirt wherever you want them. You can do as many patches as you want wherever you want!

Try these fun activities out with your friends! You'll always have a fun little memory from that day as well.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
