My favorite Snapchats to send involve me taking pictures of myself making really ugly and goofy faces, but it would be neat to send group shots with other friends or even a quick pic of something funny or ironic you encountered.

My favorite way to use my iPhone to keep in touch with my besties from college is by having a group text with my three closest friends. It’s a good way to share news with multiple people at once, plus it’s the next best thing to having a girl talk session over brunch like the old days!

The GroupMe app is cool because you can turn alerts on and off, which is very convenient if you have a super chatty group of friends who like to text throughout the workday. The downside about GroupMe is that I’ve found it drains your cell phone battery insanely fast. For me, good old fashioned group text seems to work the best.

A few months ago, my friends started to group text each other a picture of where we’re at or what we’re doing every single Friday night at 11 PM sharp.

Over the weeks, we all got super creative with the photos we’d send, and it’s almost turned into a silent competition over when can send the funniest picture to the group! I love this new tradition because it’s a fast and fun way to feel like a part of each other’s lives. Plus, it give you something to look forward to all week.

2. Go back to college for big events.

Are there any huge events at your college that alumni, families, and devout fans all roll in for? These weekends are the perfect landmark events to coordinate a campus visit with your friends – plus, many of your other friends and acquaintances will probably be in your college town that weekend, too!

Homecoming, graduation, and sorority initiations are all good events, but my favorite weekends to plan a group rendezvous are big football games.
