National Friendship Day is August 2nd (this Sunday), so I’ve decided to spend the day with my friend Molly, who was the first official college friend I made in the dorms my freshman year. I can’t wait to customize this O+D friendship card for her with one of our many classic freshman year photos. Here are a few other ideas to show your friends how much you care:
- Stop by a local farmer’s market and pick up a big bunch of flowers or basket of fresh fruit and drop it on your friend’s doorstep
- Call that out-of-town friend you’ve been meaning to catch up with but never seem to find the time to do so
- Email an old friend one or two of your favorite memories together
- Treat a friend to a picnic lunch or mani/pedis!
Whatever you do, be sure to acknowledge at least one of your friends that day, for as Ralph Waldo Emerson said, ‘ The only way to have a friend is to be one.”
