I am one of those unfortunate people who don’t live in the same town as their girlfriends. I recently caught up with my friends over the past weekend, a whole year later and nothing had changed. We were all still trying to figure out life, love and everything in between. So, as I caught up with them, I saw a pattern to the madness. I came up with a list of 8 things that I always end up doing with my girlfriends. Here it goes!
1) Taking Selfies
From the moment I see them, to the moment I leave, every event has a
selfie moment”. I mean, isn’t it a given? After all, a picture is worth a thousand words right? 😉
2) Social Media Updates
Think about it, if Sex And The City took place in this generation, Carrie Bradshaw and the girls would be checking in their night outs on Facebook, Tweeting, and Instagramming every step of the way. Then why shouldn’t we?
3) Facebook Stalking
Come on, don’t judge me. We are all guilty of this! From the ex-boyfriend to the ex-friend, everyone is stalked and how!
4) Facetime
Work, family and busy schedules make it difficult for everyone to be there for all the same trips. Voila, Facetime! It is an absolute must to call them and spread the love.
5) Embrace Each other
Some friends aren’t very expressive. This gives you the perfect opportunity to hug them, kiss them and show them some love.
6) Travel Plans
My friends and I have a wish list for music festivals. From Coachella to Tomorrowland and Burning Man to Ultra Miami, we have an extensive list and elaborate plans. Each trip consists of adding another festival to the list.
7) Dressing up
This is the part I miss the most. Some of life’s greatest conversations happen over which outfit makes my waist look smaller, and do you think I can carry off that lipstick that Deepika Padukone wore?
8) The Night Out
It typically consists of going out to our favorite bar, sipping our drinks and realizing that some relationships are meant to last forever.
So until next time, the memories will keep me going! (And until then Instagram will.)
