15 Things to Do with Friends Before The End of High School

We've got our friends, our buddies, our homies, the "gang", "us", the usual group of people... all those names for that group of friends you've got. And even if you're not a very large group of friends... there's a lot of ways to have fun together. I've listed 25 things to do before high school ends, in hopes that you and your friends can have some genuine fun (:

1. Sleepovers! Sleepovers aren't limited to girls only, guys can have them too. Have them once a week, once a month, anytime! They are an immense source of fun and a great way to get to know each other. You can watch a movie like Avatar (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo) [Blu-ray], sing some karaoke, make some prank calls, or just hang out.

2. Go to a theme park. Places like Disneyland, Universal Studios, Six Flags, or parks in any area are a great way to bond. The sounds of your friends' screams will be a memory you can't possibly forget. If you're in California, you're in luck. The state is filled with theme parks such as Disneyland Resort 2-day Park Hopper® Ticket Adult (Age 10+) and the like.

3. Play a prank. There is certainly no comparison to the degree of hilarity that ensues when a prank is pulled. I'm not talking about a prank call, or that pie-in-the-face sort of thing. I'm talking about a larger prank. Follow my blog to make sure you'll see when I post 15 Pranks During High School

4. Go to a concert or sports event. Whether it be a part of a tour or a city basketball game, these events are sure to get you and your friends hyped up. Not to mention the possibility of meeting some amazing teenage fans.

5. Play a game of hide and seek after school hours. Just imagine it: "It's 9 p.m. and you are hiding behind a staircase in the art building. Suddenly, you hear a sound and you think you've been caught..." This game is an absolutely fun experience with the risk of being caught, the sheer amount of hiding areas, and the scary-factor of it all.

6. Go camping! Camping is a great way to bond with the fires, s'mores, and the smell of the great outdoors. The only downside is the bathroom issue.

7.  Build something together. Working with your friends is a fantastic thing to do. You can build a treehouse, a small boat, or even restore a car. Do something together that yields results in the end.

8. Have a food fight! Go to a local park and bring large amounts of food. Then, just throw it on one another. You can hide behind trees and tables as you and your friends throw a pie at one another. As stupid as that sounds, it's really fun. The clean up is horrendous but it's worth while.

9. Hold a surprise party for one of your friends. In cooperation with their parents, give them party they'll never forget. Invite lot's of people and have a great theme. Don't forget to get them a cake and push their faces in to it!

10. Pull an all-nighter. Attempt to stay up all night with your buddies. Get out a movie, play some games, have pillowfights, drink LOTS of soda, bug your parents, and watch as the sun rises in the morning. You'll be completely drowned out by 7 a.m., though.

11. Do a "photoshoot". Find a friend who's got a nice DSLR like the Nikon D3000 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens and take turn taking pictures of one another. Do individual shots, duo shots, random shots and a group shots. Print the pictures out and you've got something to remember them by.

12. Plant a tree in someone's back yard. Not only would it be a small help to the environment, that tree would become a symbol of your friendship and a reminder of the good times you've had. Maybe in a decade or so, you'd come back to that tree and smile at the great memories you shared.

13. Create a painting. Go to your local arts supply store and buy a large canvas along with various colored paints. Then, take your friends and have fun placing your painted hands on the canvas. You might, however, find a paint fight amongst one another. But no worries, the paint should wash off your skin.

14. Bake something together. Go to the grocery store in a little crowd, pick out ingredients, and go to someone's house to bake what you desire. Ranging from cakes to pies, cooking together is whole lot of fun. Make sure to take some pictures in case someone get covered in flour.

15. Appreciate each other. Your friends are like your second family and once you guys leave to go on your own paths, you'll find that there's really no like them out there. High school wouldn't memorable without them so show your loyalty and don't search for new "cool" friends that are popular. Find the genuine friends who you know won't leave you no matter what.
