#362 Go to a quiz

I love theme nights. To go out and meet your buddies for a drink is one thing but to do it around an event or a theme is to level up. From table tennis clubs, masquerades and karaoke to a trend that I think is very funny: Quizzes.

The most fun with quiz nights, isn’t competing. The funniest thing is watching people who can’t combine alcohol with the fact that they are the world's worst losers. Glasses are thrown through windows, profanities are shouted left and right and relationships end during quiz nights. Not only will you learn everything about Ingmar Bergman's films, you may also witness wrestling-like fights first hand.

#222 Talk to a stranger online

I like my friends. It's not about that. But sometimes it's fun to talk to people you don’t know. It's like starting high school after being in the same class with the same people for the preceding years. It's like you get another chance to be yourself for real. Or maybe I just think it's fun to lie and make stuff up. Be someone else. No matter what, there is something exciting about talking to someone you don’t know.

Try Omegle.com or chatroulette.com and talk to a randomly selected stranger.

Required time: 
1 day or less.
Cost: 
Free.
Cons: 
It can be difficult to find a common ground with someone you don’t know.
Pros: 
You might start talking about things that you wouldn’t talk to your friends about. You might learn something new. You get to know a new person.
