I was with my bestie the other day trying to figure out what we wereĀ going to doĀ do for fun. As much as I love our routine going to Sheetz and eating food in her car while we jam out to the Backstreet Boys… we both know thatās something we donāt wan to toĀ do every time we see each other. So while we were trying to figure out what we were going to do I realized it takes so long, and by the time we figure out what we want to do, she or I have to go. So I decided to make a list of things that you can do with your bestie if you all are bored and need ideas!
- Thrifting š
-
One of my favorite things to do nowadays is going thrifting, especially with a friend. Itās so fun to go and dress up in clothes from the 90s, 80s, or even 70s, and if you go with the BFF, then it could be a great photo opp!Ā Not to mention you might find things you actually like. Also, you and your friend are your best opinionators. You both know what looks good on each other, and they will make sure that you donāt buy four straw hats when you really donāt need them.
- Road Trip š
-
Road trips can be as little as going to a park or as big as another city! Taking a road trip with your friends could be exciting. Youāre exploring somewhere new with people that will make that memory even more special. And you have an amazing chance to make a slammin’ road trip playlist. š
- Photo Shoot š·
-
Photo shoots are so fun when it comes to taking them with your best friend because thereās no pressure. You all can take funny pictures and even some for the gram. With photo shoots you can pretty much go or do anything. You can go to the park, a flower shop, diner, or even your college campus. Thereās so much you can do with this activity that the possibilities are endless!
- Grocery Shopping š
-
Now I know how this soundsā¦ grocery shopping?Ā But hear me out;Ā instead of going to buy groceries by yourself having a miserable time, take a friend. Maybe even go to a store that you havenāt gone to yet, and see what new and interesting things you can find. You both will encourage each other to try new things that the other swears by, and it just makes the process way more fun.
- Try New Foods š
-
You and your best friend might have a regular place that you go to all the time, but maybe itās time to try something new! If youāre craving pizza, burritos, or noodles, type it into Google maps and look for a different restaurant or diner. Thereās so many more places to explore that you and your friend can have fun with. Who knows you just might find the best burger in town!
- Watch a Random Movie š¬
-
Whether itās Netflix, Disney +, or a small movie theater, there will always be something to watch. Maybe thereās an anticipated movie that you and your friends have been dying to watch, but if you all canāt decide what you want to see, then leave it up to chance! Pick a random movie by asking Siri, flipping a coin, rolling a dice… etc. If only there was a movie generator.
- Go to a Carnival or Fair š”
-
In true To All The Boys Iāve Loved Before fashion, going to a carnival or fair in your hometown is pretty fun. Maybe itās too cold right now and thereās not anything going on at the moment, but rest assured when springtime and warm weather approaches, so will all the fun carnival rides like a ferris wheel or bumper cars. Going with your friends itās just an added bonus, kind of like a Victoria Justice music video.
- Bake š§
-
Craving some sweet desserts? Confetti cake calling your name? Perhaps a batch of brownies with some ice cream? Well instead of going out and buying these things, you and your friends can make them at home and have a great time doing it. And if all else fails: thereās delivery.Ā
- DIY āļø
-
Head to AC Moore or Michaels craft store and pick up anything you want to customize like a T-shirt, or a tote, maybe even a bowl! You and your friend can make matching outfits while letting your creativity run wild. Heck, you can even follow a Bob Ross painting tutorial. Itās up to you because this activity has no end.
- Makeover š
-
And last but not least, try a makeover. Thatās right… grab your palettes, fun lipĀ colors, and don’t forget to bring the make up wipes because itās time to try all those crazy colors in your eyeshadow palette on your friends face. This is especially fun if you grab an eye mask and make this a blindfolded makeover. Then youāll both see how wonderfully horrible you can do make up.
No matter what you do, have fun and love every minute of it!
HCXO, Valentina
