Throw a Party

Throw a Party

throw-a-party-thumbEveryone at one time or another feels the need to cut loose, and not worry about anything. A party is a great way to do this. Parties do not require a special occasion nor to they require you to be old enough to drink. All you need for a party is good friends and a location to have it.

One misconception is that you need to have money to throw a party. You do not need to cater out and worry about decorating the house all fancy if you don’t want to. In fact you don’t even need a house at all. You could reserve a few lanes at the bowling alley and invite all your friends to come bowl for a few hours. The bowling alley is actually a great place to have a party when they are doing cosmic bowling. They replace all the regular lights with black-lights and rotating colored lights, and play dance music. At this point it almost becomes closer to a dance club than a normal bowling alley. (Trust me its also much more fun!)

Bowling Alleys are not the only place to have a party outside the house though. Resterants and campgrounds also make good places to have parties. Be aware of a few things with these locations though. At a resterant you may want to call ahead if you have a large party, so they can have a space ready for you. If not you may have to wait for quite awhile, since they may need to clear a few tables to accommiadate your party. Having a party at a campground can be fun because you get to spend time outdoors, cook your own food over a campfire, and do something different you probabaly don’t do often. However be aware that if you are at a campground where the campsites are close together, neighboring campers might get mad if you are being too loud. So try to find a campground with camp sites that are far apart, and be courteous of your neighbors.

Parties are very social settings. As well as catching up with old friends, you can also make new ones. A great way to do this is to allow each person to invite one guest. Be aware of this though, because if you invite too many people, or someone invites more than one guest, your party can get out of control quickly.

There is nothing really quite like a fun party with good friends. Remember though like everything else there are certian things you need to be aware of, and certian procautions you might need to take. However, if done right, great parties can make memories for years to come, and fun times you may never forget.

Hang Out With Animals

Hang Out With Animals

hang-out-with-animals-thumbYou always hear people say dog is mans best friend, but never really think much of it. It really might be true though. Think about it. An animal appreciates you no matter what you look like, what your skills are or what your status in life is. An animal will like you just for you, and will never judge you. This is more than you can say about other people sometimes. This is one of the reasons being around an animal can make you feel good. As long as you pay attention to it and treat it well, it will like you.

There are many other benefits to being around animals. Sometimes when I have had a bad day, I can hold my cat for a few minutes and all of a sudden I feel a bit better. Come on who could be mad when those big eyes look up at you? Animals are smart too, sometimes it seems like they can almost tell if you are upset sometimes. I got into a car accident a few years ago, and my cat would stay on my bed from the time I woke up until i kicked her out when it was time for bed. Animals can be great companions, and can always be there when you need them.

Animals, especially cats and dogs, can also be fun to play with. Dogs are great for people who have an active lifestyle and spend a lot of time outside. They are great to run around the yard with and play catch. Cats can also be really fun to play with. Get a long string and dangle it in front of a cat. It will make them go crazy! Although no cat toy is quite as fun as a lazer. You have never seen a cat jump and lose it’s mind until you point a lazer at the wall.

Along the same lines animals can also be a great source of entertainment. I’m sure you have all been around a parrot at some point in your life. Parrots are very unique since they can mimick sounds around them. You can teach these birds to say things, or just watch and see what they pick up. Be aware though, they are still animals so watch what you say around them. You don’t want them repeating certian things in the wrong company.

Now i know animals can be quite expensive, and be kind of a hassle to maintain. However, you do not have to own an animal to enjoy their company. Chances are you know someone who has an animal that you can play with for a few hours. You can have a fun time and maybe even improve your mood a bit. The animal will probably appreciate it too since they love attention.

Just Hang Out

Just Hang Out

just-hang-out-thumbThere are certain times in your life where you feel that if you don’t get away and do something fun, you are going to explode. That’s what friends are there for. I know from personal experience that there are some times in my life that would have been much harder without friends. Friends can be there to listen to your problems, and help you figure out a solution. They can also be there to distract you when life becomes too much. Happy and exciting times can become even better when you have someone there to share them with.

Going out with a big group of friends to a fun place or event can be a great distraction from life’s little problems, or just an enjoyable, fun experience. Many times in these situations everybody invites someone, and this can lead you to make new friends. These gatherings can lead to great memories, and fun stories you might never forget. Some of my most fun times in life were at big events or parties with lots of people.

However, lets not forget the importance of one on one time. Hanging out with only one person at a time can be a way to get to know them better and become closer. The closer you are to someone, the more likely they will be there for you when you need them. These close relationships are often the kind that lead to lifelong friendships.

Most things are also more fun when done with a friend, including many of the topics we have discussed on this site. (i mean come on, how fun would it be to go to the movies alone?) Friends can also share common interests, and become closer by talking about them. The things you are interested in can also become much more fun if you have someone to do them with, or at least talk about them with.

Friends also make you feel important or needed. They can also be a way to vent your issues, and keep from blowing your top. However they in turn expect the same, so you must bend a little in order to keep friends, or you shouldn’t expect to keep them.

Humans need some degree of social interaction or they will go crazy. Beyond this though, friends can be people to laugh, cry, and have some great experiences with. Some friends can even enrich your life to the point that you don’t know what you would do if you had never met them.
