It’s often said that your twenties are the best decade of your life. During your twenties, you have lots of spare time to explore, shape your interests, and generally have fun. But there are also times during your twenties when you have to find things to do in your spare time, to ensure you don’t get bored! In this post, we introduce five activities that people in their twenties may enjoy.
Netflix and chill
Netflix and other online streaming services have revolutionized how you can enjoy your favorite TV shows and movies. With the click of a button and a secure Internet connection, you can enjoy watching your favorite shows at a time that’s convenient for you. You can also set up home movie nights and bring your friends over, which is a great way to socialize at a fraction of the cost of attending the cinema.
Online sports betting
Online sports betting has soared in popularity in recent times. Whether it’s football, horse racing, golf, or tennis, the ability to bet on your favorite sport’s outcome certainly adds an element of fun to proceedings. Placing a bet on a match is a great way to retain an interest in an event or sport if your favorite team or sportsman/woman is not competing.
It’s also a great way to socialize with your friends as you can build joint bets and develop some healthy competition when awaiting the result of the contest. What’s more, with so many new online betting platforms to choose from, you can find a live stream of so many sports events, meaning you can watch events live from the comfort of your own home while placing a bet in play.
Play board games
With the advent and proliferation of online gaming and video games, you would think that traditional board games may have died out by now. But that’s simply not the case! There’s arguably nothing better than sitting around the dining room table with your closest friends, enjoying some healthy competition while playing your favorite board games. Whether it’s Monopoly, Risk, Articulate, or even Cards Against Humanity, there’s a board game for everyone, and it’s a great way for friends in their twenties to meet up and enjoy each other’s company.
Meet for coffee
While in generations past, the local meeting point may have been the local pub, you can take advantage of the thriving coffee culture across the UK right now and meet your friends at a trendy local coffee shop for a good old-fashioned catch-up. With coffee shops serving up everything from spiced-chai lattes made with almond milk to the traditional Italian double espresso, meeting your friends for coffee is a relaxing and cultured way to spend a couple of hours without bursting the bank.
Spend time outdoors
While we’re not necessarily blessed with the best weather in the world, the UK countryside is stunning, and seeing as we’re a relatively small island, you’re never far away from the quiet of the countryside. Arrange with a couple of your friends to jump in the car and drive for an hour in one direction or another. From there, you can park up and go for a leisurely walk through the countryside, or even a walk down the beach if the weather is okay. You might even like to pack a picnic or plan a stop at a village pub for lunch along the way. Sometimes the smallest things in life offer the most pleasure, and a leisurely walk through the quaint British countryside with friends is an activity that people in their twenties can undoubtedly enjoy.
