Your best friends and girlfriends are a staple in any woman’s life. There with you through thick and thin, acting as your confidant and the people who have always got your back and know exactly how to cheer you up. When people are at school they end up with loads and loads of friends, and as they get older the circle because smaller and smaller. People realise it’s not about how many friends you have, but how close and reliable they are. It’s much better to have a few close friends that you trust, rather than hundreds of friends that you can’t feel comfortable around. Close friends almost feel like family and are always there with you no matter what. With the pandemic and so many different restrictions in place, a lot of us haven’t spent quality time with our friends in a long time. Here are a few different things that you can do this year to create something fun to do, build that bond back up and start enjoying life with your besties again.

Take a class

If you both have a common interest you could look to join a class whether that’s a cooking class, pottery class. There are always lots to choose from so finding a class that offers something that you both will enjoy or would like to try and give it a go. It can be that your quality time is spent together to learn something new and strengthen the bond you have. Find what classes are local to you and see which ones stand out to you the most. You can also change classes after a while if you find something more suited I want to try different things.

Join a sports team

Nothing bonds females better than joining a team. A sports team is particularly good for this as you need to rely on each other, be in sync and put plans together to help you win. Being in the women's sports team gives you a sense of pride and inclusion as you normally wear uniforms and when you do, you will have pride from those accomplishments. Normally you can even get different design PE kits so that it’s something that you all like and are proud to wear.

Have monthly dinner parties 

Dinner parties are a great way to spend quality time with your loved ones. You can set up a monthly plan so you take interns on hosting a dinner party. You can use different themes to make it more fun like Halloween, Mexican night, chocolate night, the possibilities are endless. You could even make it a competition and at the end of the year the best party will win a prize or you could collectively put cash in each month and the winner could win a cash prize. And it will help you bond give you things to look forward to and you can even incorporate them with your partners and other friends occasionally.

These are some great ways to spend time with your girlfriends this year but there are so many different things you can do.
