For most young people spring break is an opportunity to go out, get drunk, and be stupid, but for my friends and I, it was an opportunity to get some needed R&R and spend some quality time with one another. With it being the end of our senior year in high school, we have all been extremely stressed out. Instead of making big plans, we spent every night at someone else's house, laughing, eating, and watching movies.

Sleep overs can be some of the best medicine anyone could get. They let you calm down and forget about everything that has been bothering you lately. When you're with friends, the world around you melts and you live in a blissful moment of peace that can create lasting memories.

Here are eight things that make every sleep over a great one:

1. Private Jokes.

Being on the inside is a lot of fun because it will always remind you of the moments when the joke was first made.

2. Twining.

Do I need to say much more? Matching with your bestie is always fun!

3. Being Creative.

Whether it's arts and crafts, doing hair and make up, writing a song, or even filming a YouTube video, when you find something fun and creative to do with your friends you will have hours of easy entertainment. No more laying on the floor bouncing ideas of how to spend your time, just do.

Who said that you have to stay inside at sleep overs? Get some sun and see what the world holds for you!

One does not simply have friends over without providing provisions for the evening.

Why so serious?

Put your phones away and engage in some friendly competition.

8. Don't Actually Sleep.
