My best friend and I get together once a week to watch of our favourite shows.. Its great because even if its only for the hour long show we spend time together laughing and catching up.

My friends and I have 2 themed nights a week- "Taking Back Sunday" where we spend Sundays walking a trail in our city and then getting Thai takeout and going back to my apartment to watch a movie. The other night we celebrate is "Pinterest Tuesday", where every week we all choose a new recipe from Pinterest! It's become a tradition in our friend group! We've made amazing queso, habanero margaritas, Quinoa salads, Crockpot French toast! When you live far from your family, your friends become your family and I think that is fabulous!

My two best friends an I covet our Tuesday night hang-outs... We always watch The Bachelor on DVR (can't miss Monday night's spinning class!) and cook an awesome meal.  It's seriously an awesome way to make sure we see each other every week.  No (well hardly) excuses allowed!

My friends and I all started gradschool last year and we do not have social life. This weekend we decided to have a valentine's day dinner and celebration. We went to an Italian Restaurant and then when bar hopping and clubing all around the area. We have an amazing time but since we have so many things to talk about we got distracted and when someone finally look her watch it was 5:00 am. It was an amazing night thought! 

Yesterday (we might be again today) I was hanging out with one of my friends we just talked,played games and ate some snacks it was fun it think it's important to hang out with friends or other people it helps you get to know them better and connect

This is what I did on Valentine's Day with one of my girlfriends! http://cosmo-politique.blogspot.com/2012/02/how-to-have-real-girls-night.html

I love hanging out with my girlfriends! We speak at least 1 times a week, It's nice to chat and do fun things! we ladies deserve it

I agree! My time with my girls is soooo important to me! We do work-out dates, discover new restaurenat/bars dates, girls nights in, and shopping dates of course! We try to get together 1/week. 

Me and my friends go out once a month for dinner to clear the air of any mishappenings and so we can all be together and have a great time. Normally after dinner we either go bowling, arcades or cinema. We also go ice skating once a month to keep us healthy and we go shopping(cant get enough of shopping)xxxx

I live in a house with 9 other girls, which is absolutely fantastic most of the time, but sometimes the estrogen level is out of this world haha. We try to have "family dinner" every now and then where we all eat together.  On Thursday we all made a big pasta dish with spinach and chicken.  Sometimes that "broke-college-kid" excuse gets the best of us and we cook hotdogs in the oven and split them down the middle and put cooked instant mashed potatoes on them with american cheese on top.  But I agree, doing things mid-week seem to make the week go by and even gives you something to look forward to :)

OMG this photo couldnt be more perfect !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AM I THE ONLY ONE DYING WITH THIS PHOTO ?????

My best friend and I used to live together, but our lives have changed drastically in the last few years: she had a baby and I just started working on my MA... It's hard to get together like we used to! We reserve Thursday nights for us - our boyfriends do their own thing, and we have a slumber party - just me, my best friend, and her little girl. It doesn't matter what we do - as long as we have that one night together, we can stay close. There was a period of time where we didn't see each other but once a month... having that one day a week has helped us become close again. :)

I had no idea that female friendships are so important to your health! My best friend and I always get together once a week and watch our favorite shows together and order in food. I need to get a good group of friends and go out once in a while! lol Looks like you had fun Lauren!

Nice photo of you and Lo, Lauren. Love what you are both wearing!

I need and am going to make this a new ritual haha
