Friend Date Ideas For the Summer

When people ask me my hobbies, I tell them the basics, like doing henna, arts and crafts, and reading occasionally. But what I always want to say is hanging out with my friends, because honestly whenever I have free time that's how I spend it but it usually ends up costing me money too.

But anyway, as someone who is seasoned in the art of hanging out with friends, I wanted to give you guys the scoop on some friend date activities! Because what else is there to do in the summer except waste time!
