Why You Should Be Going On Picnics | The Odyssey Online
Start writing a post

We don't all live in areas where the weather is ideal for a picnic all year round. However, once summer rolls around it's fair game for one. A picnic is the best last minute plan if you really don't know what to do with your friends, boyfriend, girlfriend, or family! It is so simple, yet so much fun with the right people.

I used to go on picnics all the time with my family. They would mostly be when we would go bike riding. We are all grown up now and in many different places so family picnics aren't really in the picture anymore. With that being said, if most everyone in your family is in one spot, go on some picnics! If you aren't into that kind of family stuff, invite your friends. If they think it's lame, get new friends. It is the least lame thing with the right people.

If you are on a picnic with someone and you aren't having fun, you are with the wrong person or people. The first picnic I had with my boyfriend was the time of my life. I loved sitting there drinking Caprisuns and eating Scooby Doo gummies. We even went on a picnic for our one year anniversary. I wish we would think to go on more when we're together.

Picnics don't really come to mind very often for everyone, but maybe they should. It is such an inexpensive thing. You don't need to buy any food if you have some good things at home. Sure, it might be boring eating things from your house, but driving to a park, sitting on a blanket, and eating it there makes it so much better. You can literally bring whatever your heart pleases. If you just want some McDonald's, then, by all means, get some fries from the drive-through and head to the park.

You are able to enjoy so many things on picnics. You are able to really enjoy the person you're with and enjoy all the beautiful things around you. Whatever those things may be, there is no better way to enjoy them than a picnic.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
