Everyone has close friends that went off to college to a different city or state, and its normal to miss them. After visiting my friends last semester, I realized it was something I wanted to do at least twice a year. It was such a fun weekend.
If you want to have an amazing weekend out of town with your friends, follow these steps below:
1) Talk to them in advance:
Before planning your trip, make sure you have some dates in mind for when you want to go. Give your friends a heads up and ask them if one of the dates you had in mind is also convenient for them.
2) Book your flight/bus ticket:
If you're driving, then this step is not intended for you.
Look for the most convenient flight or bus ticket. Do it as soon as possible so you don't have to stress about it a week before.
3) Accommodations:
You don't want to get to your destination without a place to stay. My recommendation is to stay with your friends but if you go with other people you could find a hotel nearby or try Airbnb.
4) Packing:
Pack accordingly. If you go for a weekend, don't overpack. My recommendation is to take a carry on with all your clothes so you don't have to check a bag.
5) Have Fun!
Your friends will give you the most amazing time in the world, they'll introduce you to people, take you to parties and make you feel at home.
