Group texts are an important part of any millennial's social life. From your OG high school pals to your college besties, group texts are the best way to keep all your friends up to date on drama, memes, and plans. The quickest way to get your squad together is through contacting them all at the same time, but doesn't always go so smoothly. Here are 11 stages of making plans with your squad through group text.
1. The initial text
"Friday night. Let's do something!"
2. The excited responses
"Yas!"
"I was just thinking about you guys!"
"Miss you all so much! Let's meet up!"
3. Deciding on what to do
"Where do we want to eat?"
"Eat? No, I want to go shopping"
"Um, Starbucks is happening at some point"
"I don't care! As long as we get to hang out!"
4. Someone decides to start a side conversation with some else in the group chat
"Side note, did you guys see my Insta yesterday?"
"Oh my God, yes! You looked flawless!"
"Your caption was GOLD"
5. And then everyone ignores the plans
"Do we want to meet downtown and just decided what to do from there?"
*no replies*
6. Finally someone snaps everyone back to the plan
"GUYS WHAT ARE WE DOING ON FRIDAY"
7. Then it's official
"Okay sounds great!"
"See you then!"
"Can't wait to see you all!"
8. The original time no longer works for one person
"We're meeting at 6 PM, right?"
"Yep!"
"I can't make it."
"You're joking."
"Can we meet at 4 PM instead?"
9. Everyone picks another time that works for them
"I can do 7 if that's better?"
"I'll meet up with you guys at 7:30 then"
"Okay new time! Meet at 7!"
10. The celebratory memes start
"Yay! It's happening!"
"WOOOOH! Hope you're all ready to take a picture for my next Insta!"
"We're still getting Starbucks at some point, right?"
11. Then someone gets confused
"Soooo what did we decide to do?"
In the end, where would we be without our group chats to make us smile and roll our eyes all in the same conversation. It's the perfect 21st century tool to make plans with our friends!
