Friends, one of the very things that we as people can't stop thinking about. We constantly think about our friends and it's only natural. In today’s technologically-driven world, people are always in contact with their friends. Whether it is through Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter, we always want to know what our friends are up to and be a part of it, even if we aren’t there. National Friendship Day which is celebrated annually on August 2nd is a great way to fix a possible broken friendship, or strengthen a healthy one with a night out with a friend. It was originally founded by Hallmark in 1919 as a day to send a friend or best friend with a loving card. Although cards aren’t used widely in today’s society, a Instagram picture showing you and your friend would most definitely suffice.
Depending on what mood you and your friend are in there are plenty of flicks that could do the job. A few of my personal favorites I would watch with my friend if we are in the mood for a tear jerker would be The Fault In Our Stars, If I Stay and Ways to Live Forever. All of these movies have one thing in common, they are about two people (friends or lovers) that have extraordinary circumstances they must overcome together. All three are very moving movies and all have a great message. If you are going toward the happier and funnier route, The Toy Story trilogy, The Hangover and The Despicable Me series are all great choices. Take time this upcoming summer to mark the date for National Friendship Day, it would truly make your friend’s day and probably make yours a little better too.
