Saying goodbye to best friends at college is tough, especially when you live hours away from each other. Summer vacation provides a chance to finally reunite with best friends from high school!
Here are 20 things for you and your high school BFFs to do this summer:
1. Go to the beach
Even if you don't live near a beach, a road trip to one is always fun!
2. Take a road trip to a city in your state that you've never visited before
You'd be surprised how much you don't know about your own state.
3. Make an awesome playlist for car rides
Don't forget to add some of your favorite throwback songs from middle school.
4. Go to the gym together
Try a zumba or yoga class together. Even if you aren't the best, at least you look dumb together.
5. Get mani-pedis together
6. Go see a movie
My high school BFF and I are going to see "Finding Dory" as soon as it comes out!
7. Go to a concert together
Dance, laugh, and make some awesome memories listening to your favorite musician.
8. Visit a festival together
There are a ton of festivals in Virginia. My favorites are the Virginia Beach Patriotic Festival and the Pungo Strawberry Festival.
9. Go for a hike
It's a perfect way to get some exercise and take some amazing pictures.
10. Meet up for brunch
Try a new restaurant and catch up on everything you missed while you were away at college.
11. Throw it back to middle school with a sleepover
A sleepover is not complete without face masks and chick flicks.
12. Visit each other's college towns
This is another great excuse to have a road trip! Plus, you get to see your bestie's second home.
13. Go shopping
Your best friend was your main mall buddy in high school, so you know you'll have a great day.
14. For the adventurous best friends: go camping
Unplug from social media for the weekend, and don't forget to make some s'mores.
15. Have a photo shoot
I did this for my friend's senior pictures, and we had so much fun finding beautiful locations to snap some pics!
16. Be a tourist in your hometown
Go to museums, visit historical sites, and take touristy pictures. You might even learn something new about were you live.
17. Craft together
Get some inspiration from Pinterest, hit up Michael's, and spend the day crafting.
18. Try a new recreational activity
Go surfing, kayaking, or stand-up paddleboarding.
19. Get out old yearbooks and pictures together
Laugh and reminisce over the awkwardness.
20. Channel your inner child and go to the zoo or aquarium
You may be the only people over the age of 18, but you'll have just as much fun as the elementary school kids on their field trip.
