These days, I can't wake up without looking at 9 million texts -- asking me if I want to get breakfast before class, go to the gym, or study together later. In college, things you would do by yourself in high school become shared activities. I can't believe I get to eat meals with all of my closest friends every day, instead of feeding small scraps to my dog while I scroll through my phone, eating whatever meal my mom made that night. In a lot of ways, college is super distracting and stressful. However, the amount of time spent doing things with other people, in a face-to-face and phone-free situation, helps to ease some of the stress. Here are the 15 best things to do with your girl gang on the daily, wherever you go to school!
1. Meals
"When are you going to eat?"
"Like 10 minutes"
"Cool, I'll grab a table."
2. Studying
If you aren't fighting people for a table for your girl gang at the library, then you aren't studying hard enough. Chances are, you aren't having as much fun studying if you're studying by yourself too. Get that emotional support system in!
3. Going out
What good are your memories if you're not with your girls?
4. Shopping
Urban Outfitters can have all of our money at this point.
5. Late night snack runs
Ordering wings and Chinese food in order to get through your mountains of homework on the daily envokes less guilt when you do it with your girls.
6. Watching "The Bachelor"
On Mondays, we huddle around a small dorm TV and shout at Colton.
7. Date party
Yeah, taking boys to date party is fun, but if all else fails, there's always someone in your girl gang who will go at the drop of a hat (but she will definitely have to borrow an outfit from you).
8. Walking to chapter together
What good is paying dues if you have to roll up to sorority chapter alone?
9. Sunday morning feasts
Waking up after a night out and NEEDING to recap with your girls over a power dining hall session is honestly part of the routine at this point.
10. Distracting each other from studying
You know that part I said about studying with your girl gang is the only way to do things? Not the best way to get stuff done. However, I really wouldn't want to have a "study break" with anyone else.
11. Exercising
Get sweaty with sisters!!!
12. Meeting up after class
Sitting in the lounge of your dorm with your friends is the best way to catch up (and pretend to do some homework).
13. Watching Netflix
Were you even watching the Ted Bundy series right if you weren't watching it with your friends?
14. Group chats
My girl gang snap group is Always. Blowing. Up.
15. Exploring your college town
Making new places you've discovered your special thing with your girls is the best feeling ever!
