Cute things for you and your friends to do! Prt 2.

4. Make a YT channel 2gether! 📺

Making a YT channel together is a fun and easy way to capture your day to day lives together or fun occasions and activities you guys do together.

You don’t have to try to make it big, although I won’t tell you what you can or can’t do, just making videos for fun is enough to make some memories that you and your friends can look back on in the future.

Record you guys going to school, or work. Record your sleepovers and just have fun with it.

!!NOTE!!- If it was me, I’d make a google email with your friends so you aren’t using one of your personal emails, so if someone was to be rude/mean and try to access your personal info or delete the channel as revenge or something else equally childish… They wouldn’t do AS MUCH damage. Now if you all make a new one and you ALL have access to it, then one of the people who knows the passwords could still use it and do something similar or worse with the email. Another thing I would suggest is vote for someone in your friend group that everyone trusts to run the account and email. Please don’t try to use this email/channel against anyone. I warned you.

5. Pics or it didn’t happen booklet 📸

The pics or it didn’t happen game is a fun way to make goals for yourself to do the things you’ve always wanted to do and a great way to have fun with buddies or by yourself! And this activity isn’t as, ‘girly’ as the others… Might be…?

This game includes you and your other participants making a list of items to achieve/accomplish before a specific time.

A lot of people do this activity during summer break, so for this explanatory example let’s say we’re going for the end of summer as our goal. Your goal is to earn a certain amount of points. The activities include silly things like prank calls, picnics, dying your hair, making a pizza, etc. Small little fun activities. The ‘smaller’ the activity, the less amount of points you get. The ‘bigger’ an activity is you get more points. You and your friends may decide what activities dictate how many points the activities are worth.

As the name of the game implies, you must have pics of you doing said activity/pic of activity as proof, or it didn’t happen/doesn’t count.

This I think would be a great way to have fun with close distance friends and long distance friends as you can do the checklist by yourself and then show and compare results later.

Making/agreeing upon the activities and the books could also be a separate activity in itself, and a fun DIY, which doesn’t take much money. You could just go to your local dollar tree and get booklets/binders and make these books’ covers to match or be unique to yourself.

6. Book Clubs 📖

Book clubs can be an amazing way to boost the amount of books you and your friends read and it can go beyond your school’s allowed books if your school has book restrictions.

It doesn’t have to be some, ‘boring,’ book that doesn’t capture your attention. You and your club can pick out books that ya’ll actually like or sound cool to you guys.

Reading is great on its own but for some people, like people who have difficulty sticking with one thing at a time, it can be hard to read alone. Getting together and reading a few chapters of a good book with friends is a nice way to keep yourself reading and you’re accompanied by some of your favorite people while doing it.

Getting some tea and coffee, meeting up at someone’s house or the park, and talking about what you’re reading about could be good for you too. Practicing reading will help you with anything you may have difficulties with when reading alone. Like if you loose focus, have problems with coherent sentences while reading aloud, and just lack of interest.

Doing this may also make book essays a hell of a lot easier now that you’re reading on your own time with friends.

I’m out of ideas for now, but I’ll be looking for more online to add to this series and ask my friends! I had some but… I forgot them ( • ̀ω•́ )✧

Thanks 4 reading :>

Cute things for you and your friends to do!

1. Sharing a journal 📝

One super easy thing to do with your friends that is fun and a super adorable keepsake is sharing a journal! Call up your buddies and decorate the journal together and start writing!

You share it in rotations. Write about your day, dreams, about your friends, your feelings, etc.

Glue down notes and doodles you and your friends do. And pass the journal on from one person to the next in your friend group!

This is a great activity for you if you are close or long distance friends! You can mail it to eachother and keep it for a certain period of time.

And if you/ya’ll want you can have as many journals as you have people so you all have one all the time and just trade ‘em off.

2. Miss you box 📦

Okay, so what you and your posse are going to want to do is either bring some items, or go out and buy some. What you want to achieve is basically building a ‘memory’ type box with shirts, hair ties, lotions/perfumes your friends use or something similar, and put them in a box. Photos, trinkets, stuffed toys and/or gifts from them are also nice touches to them. So when you miss your friends, you have a few things to remind you of them.

I think this is great if you have a friend group similar to mine, and ya’ll all live far away from each other. Because I miss them all the time and I know I like it when I can smell the perfume my friend uses, because in a sense it’s comforting and makes me feel less lonely.

Next time you’re with the friend/friends you could make a day of it next time you guys see eachother

3. Build a Bear 🐻

Alright, this could be expensive, but getting together with your group and making matching ‘lil buddies is super fun and could be done anywhere, not just the BAB stores. I know this idea is already self explanatory and a trend or… It was in 2020ish I think?!? Idk…

I’ll have to come up with more ideas but I have a ton of ideas to do w friends because I’m alone a lot and have plenty of thinking time. Lmao. Next three ideas I plan on writing about is Making a YT channel together, Pics or it didn’t happen, and Book clubs! So… Y’know. I’ll allow recommendations for ideas/specific topics like for people who are crafty, or long distance friends in particular, etc.
