Save the best for the last. That’s why weekends come at the end of a long and hectic week at college or the office. But we think that you deserve the best all the time. That’s why you’ve moved to a new city for a chance at greater success.
That’s why you spent a lot of time searching for flats for rent in Pune and that’s why you shouldn't have to limit all your fun and enjoyment to the weekend. But we get it, you’ve got a budget to stick to. And as a student or a young professional, you can’t exactly afford to splurge on entertainment every day of the week. That’s why we’ve come up with a list of affordable and fun weeknight activities that you can do with your friends. They’re sure to rejuvenate you and become the bright spots that your week needs. Check them out!
Host a potluck
Figuring out what to eat after a long day of college or work is one of the most monotonous things. So why not make it someone else’s problem? Get your friends together and organize a potluck dinner party. It’ll take very little effort on your part but give you a chance to feel super fancy and enjoy a great meal with your friends. You can even choose to make this a biweekly or monthly hangout plan and change the venue every time. Split the different courses between your friends and set up the table. Since each person will only need to make one item it’ll take a lot of the pressure off, and it’ll give you a chance to catch up with your friends in the middle of the week. All that fun for the fraction of the price of going to a restaurant.
Bring out the board games
Board games may get a bit of a bad rap but they’re one of the best ways to unwind with friends or break the ice with new roommates. Unwind from a long day with a rousing game of Monopoly with your roommates, or take over the common room with a Scrabble marathon. If you don’t have or want to buy any board games, there are plenty of options that can be played with only a deck of cards, or you could try fantasy-based games like Dungeons and Dragons. This is a great and inexpensive way for you and your friends to try out new things and can quickly become a part of your group’s tradition. Plus, most of the fun of board games is inventing your own rules, so feel free to start a never-ending discussion on how many Draw-Fours you can club while playing Uno!
Check out a community event
Some weeknights are not meant for staying in, they’re meant for escaping the monotony of your flat. Luckily, there are plenty of affordable ways for you to do this. If you’re a college student, there’s bound to be some event or the other going on at your campus that you can check out. Or you could even look in your local newspaper for museums, art galleries, open mic nights or film screenings that are free or inexpensive in your vicinity. Of course, if you’re living in a professionally managed residence like Stanza Living, you won’t need to go far in search of fun, as they have a vibrant and exciting community programme as part of their amenities. You can enjoy game nights, music evenings, cultural celebrations and more without spending a penny.
So, there you have it. These are just some of the most fun and affordable weeknight activities for you to try with your friends. Now get your group together and don’t wait for the weekend to have a blast!
