“Group Hangouts with Friends”
“Group Hangouts with Friends”, By *Lori Turbenson
I lived in my own apartment since 2012, it was my idea is to do group hangouts with my friends.
So I started my group hangouts, by showing my friends how entertaining that I can be and plus being a good hostess. I do have entertainment in my apartment, so I can find things that are entertaining and fun; like for instance, wrestling nights and music nights, or music and television night. I do have a variety of stuff and things to do, like listening to music, watch television, or movies, or cooking/baking and having them to pitch in or to bring their music. Plus I am trying to get more visitors or guests or friends over, to enjoy, to have a good time, and fun, and plus getting entertained. Of those who have not in been in my apartment, I would show them around or show them my stuff and things in my apartment for them to look at and giving them ideas of what it’s like to live on their own.
My group hangouts can get to know each other, they will have rules to follow, but they can do anything that they want to in my apartment, I call it the fun apartment, I do clean it for each visit, so they can be in a clean place. All they can do is to communicate with their parents or their staff, plan it, to have a day and a time for them to do it on. They can let me know, and I will plan it with my staff. For the wrestling or music, snacks and drinks are included for their enjoyment.
