The Lazy Girl’s Guide to Staying in Touch

Hey, remember me?

If you’re like me, you can’t remember the last time you’ve been able to say “Hey! Let’s do lunch!” to a friend and actually follow through. You love you friends and family but just can’t seem to get in touch as often as you like. However, you do seem to find time to log onto Facebook, watch a good TV show, and do a few chores. So what does a girl do?

1. If you haven’t heard from a friend in awhile: Text them! Send out a friendly “Hey, What’s up?” and let them know that you haven’t gone into permanent hibernation. 

2. Make the call: If you think of a friend randomly, call them! Have a conversation that doesn’t involve pixels, and bless your friends and yourself with the sound of another human voice. 

3. Make a girl’s night out: My friends and I meet up every Thursday. We order some drinks, a few wings and we catch for an hour or so. Its great way to catch up with all your friends at once. 

4. Make a big deal out of the little stuff: It’s Monday? Share your sarcastic text with a few friends. Want to go see a new movie? Send out a text seeing who’s down. Show your friends that you want to spend time with them.

5. Make it a goal to invest your time: I get it. We all have “stuff” to do; but what good is a good career, money, a big house, etc. when you have no one to celebrate your good fortune with? Invest your time in your friends.
