As we get older, it can become harder and harder to make the time for the people who mean most to us. You might want to spend every day with your buddies over summer like you did when you were a kid, but you have a job and other adult responsibilities. Still, that doesn’t mean you have to give up on social events. It’s important to make time for those who matter. If you and your friends are always struggling to find the motivation or the time to do something then here are some crazy and some lazy ideas (depending on your preference) for a fun day with your best friends.
Go for a hot air balloon ride.
If you’re tired of saying that you and your friends should go to the cinema at the weekend to watch the latest blockbuster then maybe it’s time to switch things up. Maybe it’s time to suggest something that’ll really perk everybody up. Why not go for a hot air balloon ride? How many of your buddies can say they’ve done that before? It could be a fantastic way for you all to meet up. It’s a great excuse for an outing. You might be too transfixed with the sights around you to have a proper conversation, but you can all unwind afterwards at your local bar for a few rounds. This weekend is as good a time as any to do something crazy.
Play some video games.
We promised crazy and lazy ideas, so here’s the “chilled out” suggestion for any groups of friends who love each other but feel too exhausted to exert themselves at the weekend. Why not have a night in at one of your houses and play some video games? This might not be a particularly life-changing way to spend your weekend, but the important thing is that you and your pals would all be gathered in the same place and spending time together. As long as you have some food and drinks, everybody will have a wild time. You might want to do some research if you’re looking for a healthy alcoholic drink to stay refreshed. You need to make sure the beverages are on point.
Try to break a world record.
A great idea to really get you and your best friends excited about the weekend is to set yourself the goal of trying to break a world record. That could be a very crazy way to spend your time. Even if you don’t succeed, you could all have a blast as you try to break a world record. You should start by making a list of all the crazy records you’d like to try breaking. You could even do some Googling to get inspiration. Once you’ve figured out what you all want to try out (or perhaps there are a few records you want to break), you just need to record the event and find an official witness. This could be a crazy and exhilarating way to spend your weekend with your buddies. It’ll definitely be a laugh if nothing else.
I love this. Lazy days are my favorite!

Lots of good ideas! I think I am past this stage, but I did things like this when I was in my 20’s!

The hot air balloon is a really good idea, do you know what I also do with my friends, go-kart racing. Nothing like a little competition to jolt that spark back to life1

It isn’t as scary as you’d think!
I can totally see my best friend and I trying to break a world record! Awesome ideas!
Haha yes! My bff and I always love thinking of weird things to do that might break a record.
I love that first one! I’ve never thought about going on a hot air balloon ride with friends — I thought it was just a touristy thing or for people who do those hot air balloon festivals! This is a great idea.
