7 Things You Can Do in Any City

Who hasn't been lazying around with a group of friends with nothing to do on a Wednesday evening? Instead of being unprepared next week when you've got a bunch of your freeloading friends hanging out at your house, drinking your beer, pick something off this list and actually do something with your lives—and have fun doing it. You shouldn't have any problems finding places to get anything on this list accomplished no matter where you live, assuming it has a population north of a thousand.

Dinner Party

There is nothing better than an evening of delicious food and refreshing beverages with your people. Do it at home, or at your favorite restaurant or bistro. Whether it be potluck, catered, or your own kitchen creations, it’s all good in the neighborhood. Weeknight or weekend, indulge your senses. The key element to this recipe is intoxicating company.

Movies

Matinee to midnight showing, opening night or down at the cheap theater. With a date or with your people, there are so many ways to do this, with so many movies to choose from. Don’t stop until you’ve seen them all, then go back and watch the best ones again. Honorable mentions go out to the popcorn and the sweet arcades that accompany your favorite theater.

Recycling

Yeah, that’s right. I said recycling. What could be better than to take some of the crap you got kicking around your home and exchange it for cash? Get rid of those pop bottles, beer cans, and liquor bottles cluttering up the place. It’s not a glamorous activity. The beauty of it is that it will assist any funding required for everything else on this list. Or that you can think of, for that matter.

Strutting the streets

Get your favorite kicks on and hit the streets, put foot to pavement. Who knows where you will end up, whom you will meet, and what types of adventures you will have along the way. Best part of all is that it’s free and healthy for ya to go for a walk. Just try it with an open mind and you will understand what I mean.

Limo it up

Kick it up a notch for a night. Turn some heads; let everyone know that you’re kind of a “big deal” around here. You can do this on any random day you want or use it to help celebrate a special event. It’s also a good excuse to bust out that new suit or dress you got. Treat yourself to a bit of that VIP lifestyle and relish in it.

Tossing the Bee

As in Frisbee. Seriously getting outside in the sun, on the street, in the park, where ever there is room and throwing a Frisbee around is great. Especially during summer, I mean do ya really need an excuse to get outside? Any form of physical activity or exercise will suffice, doesn’t just have to be limited to some discus tossing. Tennis, street hockey, hackey-sack, bike riding, basketball, four square, hop scotch, football, or whatever. Doesn’t have to be difficult just has to be fun. Just don’t sit around your stinky apartment or house all day; this will cure your boredom.

Cruising

Just go, get on the road and let the adventures begin. Some prefer to get their ride all primped up first with the wash and wax. No matter what, this is best experienced with a wing-man or wing-girl. Get your favorite album to jam to along the way, and see what your city has to offer road wise. Check out all the beautiful cars and people who are out cruising around as well. Just don’t take your mind off the road for too long.
