Life is hectic. Sometimes it can be hard to find time to get together with friends, unless you have a good excuse. 
Friends are an important key to happiness, so we thought we’d give you some great excuses to find that time to hang!
Get Together with Friends to Keep in Touch
It may seem simple enough, but it can be easy to forget that seeing friends on your newsfeed doesn’t really count. The truth is that it is easy to stay connected with technology, but it is hard to emotionally keep in touch. Memories are made when you spend time with others. That is definitely reason enough to get together with friends!
Get Together with Friends on a Random Holiday
Chances are, today is some sort of a holiday. Maybe not one you get work off for, but we believe even National Sombrero Day deserves a little attention! It can be a lot of fun to get together with friends to celebrate whatever wacky holiday Google tells you it is. Any excuse is a good excuse to get together with friends.
Get Together with Friends for Half Birthdays
Of course you spend time with your friends when it comes to real birthdays, but what about half-birthdays? Birthdays are a great reason to get together with friends, but they only come once a year. The benefit of celebrating half birthdays, aside from doubling the festivity, is that half-birthdays do not require presents. When you get together with friends to celebrate half-birthdays, no one has to stress over finding the perfect present. It is all about going out and celebrating one of your friends, just because they are awesome enough to deserve a second day!
Get Together with Friends to Vent
Sometimes venting is not a good thing. It can cause you to overthink problems, or start up the rumor mill. However, it is also not good to bottle up your emotions, and sometimes you just want to share an exciting story. That is why it is important to get together with your close friends to have an all-out vent session. Your friends are the ones you trust, and they are the people that get the most joy out of even your silliest of stories. Try waiting to vent until you get together with friends. Then, you can let everything out without causing any drama.
We hope these excuses provide enough reason to call up that babysitter or take an hour off to spend some time with the people who matter to you. Here at Casa Blanca Mexican Restaurant, we believe that the only thing better than good friends is good friends and great food! Come visit one of our locations in Andover, North Andover, or North Billerica for your next get-together, and enjoy our traditional Mexican food and drinks.
