Rock Climbing

Rock climbing is one of the most fun activities you will try. Regardless if you are just climbing around and testing your skills, or challenging yourself on the hardest vertical, it is such a fun activity that more people need to try. Not only is it super fun to do with friends, but you will also work new muscles and gain some great leg and hand strength.

Pottery Painting

Painting pottery is like coloring, but on something, you can use later on and show off to friends. Many towns have to paint your own pottery places where there are pre-made ceramics just waiting to be painted. Whether it is a little trinket or a mug, take a night out and paint something for yourself, a friend, or a loved one.

Do a Puzzle

Puzzles have such a bad rep of being an activity for lonely old people. However, don't knock them until you've tried doing a puzzle on wine Wednesday night. Think regular puzzles are too easy or boring? I challenge you to try to circular puzzles or, even harder, the double sided puzzles. Spend a few days racking your brain on a puzzle where both sides on the same image, then tell me they are only for lonely old people.

Bake Some Treats

Baking is always a fun and delicious way to take a break. Heat the oven up, get our your favorite songs to jam to and bake away. Everyone loves some homemade cookies or brownies, but why not step outside the box and try to create some holiday-themed cake pops or treats.

DIY Project

Have you ever thought about turning an old window frame into a unique photo display case? Pinterest is the mother load when it comes to DIY projects. Whether you want to create a festive holiday decoration, or are looking for ways to bring a new life to an old piece of furniture. The best part is you can even look up dollar store DIY projects for those of us living on a college budget.

Try a Fun Workout Class

Everyone has been all about the yoga fad that seems to have taken over the internet, but what about the other fitness classes there are? Consider something that you would have never thought of like aerobics, a spin class, or even an intro to dance class for beginners. They may not be a weekly habit for you, but they can be a fun little break to try something new and have a good laugh with friends.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

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.
