Last week, I celebrated my 31st birthday! As you may imagine, for a planner like me, I thought trying to avoid all activities & celebrate my DOB in isolation would be, well, quite sad. But I had the best day!
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been the self-proclaimed “planner” for my groups of friends. Of course, the types of things I’ve planned have changed dramatically (prom, sorority mixers, and college dance marathons laid a nice foundation), but the essence is still the same: finding a unique way for my friends and I to have as much fun as possible. Also: food.
As the season has now officially changed and we’re all looking for an excuse to get out of the freakin house and see our buddies, it’s my time to jump straight into group activity planning mode. There are so many fun things happening again this spring that I’ve been trying to do forever, and luckily, they’re all appropriate for groups of pals ready to hit the warm weather town together! Here are some of my favorite ideas you can impress your buds with by planning this season.
Well, it’s taken me a year and a half of blogging to finally welcome in my first guest post, but here she is. I met the author, Kelly, my freshman year of college and we’ve been best buds ever since. Kelly is from Long Island and moved to Roxborough for a few years after graduation. After much coaxing, she finally moved to Center City this year (we’re neighbors!) and with that, came her visitors. Kelly’s apartment has a constant flow of out-of-towners, and she knows exactly how to keep them busy (and buzzed). Her Philadelphia “tours” show the best our city has to offer, minus the standard historical sites and long lines. Her visitors always love their stops so much, I asked Kelly to share her go-to’s with all of you.
