graffiti a pub toilet
this honestly feels like a rite of passage, you know those messages you read while you’re pissing at the pub, it’s your time to contribute. write your number down, @ your ops.
(we do not endorse vandalism, but of course encourage the right to free speech)
get a hot girl tattoo
we know you want to, so we think you should. whether it’s a bumper sticker phrase, or a quote from your mum, do it.
turn a piece of clothing distressed
how long has that piece of clothing been there, a year? even two? let’s get it reworked, we know you’ve seen reels on how to do it.
use a ouija board
at this point why not? you’ve already fucked up a piece of clothing you like so wth. maybe see if you can talk to your clothing piece that you messed up and apologise, rip.
get back on hinge
you’re already sweating and heatwave is heatwave-ing, so why not feel really hot and get back into your hoe phase?
roleplay being employed
like pretending you’ll become a home owner.
go old school, buy a porn dvd
we’re way to digital nowadays, let’s throw it back to the good old days, #bringbackphysicalmedia.
text your ex
Summer can get nostalgic, so why not hit up an old fling?

ask out someone you hate
this would be such a great plot twist, how funny would their reaction be?
be the guitar person at the party
we think its your time to shine. riptide is calling your name, or hotel california if you’re edgy like that.
